Cislunar Explorer Spacecraft

Demonstrate using water as propellant.

Demonstrate using water as propellant. Uses electricity to split its water propellant into Hydrogen and Oxygen, which it burns as fuel.

Mission objectives:

1. Electrolysis propulsion demo
2. Optical navigation demo
3. Reach Lunar Orbit
4. Femtosatellite operations beyond LEO

Technology Demonstrator

• Spin-Stabilized Attitude Control System
• Water Electrolysis Propulsion System. Demonstrate potential In Situ Resource Utilization.
• Optical Navigation System for Low cost position and attitude determination. Triangulation using celestial bodies.
• ChipSat is Rideshare on a rideshare.

Spring-loaded separation releases both into opposite spins providing passive spin stabilization.Single CO2 cold gas thruster.

Was one of 13 SLS 6U Interplanetary or Lunar CubeSats, but did not make it in time. Will split in half, but into unconventional sizes. Will create separate entries later after satellites separate.
