Additional information SENSE SV1
Develop best practices for operational CubeSat/NanoSat procurement, development, test, and operations. To mature CubeSat bus and sensor component technology readiness levels and to demonstrate the operational utility of CubeSat measurements by flowing validated, low-latency data into operational space weather models. 3-axis stabilized with star cameras for attitude determination and are equipped with a Compact Total Electron Density Sensor (CTECS) to provide radio occultation measurements of total electron content and L-band scintillation. One satellite has a Cubesat Tiny Ionospheric Photometer (CTIP) monitoring 135.6 nm photons produced by the recombination of O+ ions and electrons.
