The satellite carries the iMESA (Integrated Miniaturized Electrostatic Analyzer) and the CNT (Carbon Nano-Tube) experiments. The carbon nanotube array on ALICE represents a significant enhancement in small satellite propulsion. Georgia Tech manufactured the carbon nanotube array and AFIT built the payload and assembled and tested the satellite. Performance of the carbon nanotube array will be done using custom built integrated miniaturized electrostatic analyzer (iMESA) sensors, based on designs provided by the U.S. Air Force Academy.
