Summary	This proposal describes the effort associated with the development, coordination, and central operation of an Academic (Academy/University) network of Mobile CubeSat Command and Control (MC3) systems in support of the NRO Colony effort. The growing acceptance of the CubeSat, a very small satellite, as a means of accomplishing focused research objectives of national interest makes this project of great interest to NPS. It combines opportunities for student thesis work, university outreach, and the development of useful national capabilities. This proposal addresses the NRO Key Functional Capability (KFC) #6, Innovative Capabilities.
