Center Independent Research & Development: GSFC IRAD
Science Telescope for CubeSat Applications
Project Introduction
We will design a low-mass, compact telescope with fast, reflective optics and develop an interface to science instruments specifically designed for CubeSat science investigations.
Objectives: The goal of the proposed effort is to develop a “standard” telescope/interface package adaptable to a variety of mini-instruments in a CubeSat configuration.
