Oneliner	Demonstrate propulsion and high-speed transmission for a Moon mission.
Description	Demonstrate onboard plasma propulsion and high gain telemetry for LEO that would be a precursor for an attempt at a larger CubeSat designed for orbital insertion at the Moon.
Results	On the first active pass over Seattle, just 2 hours after deployment, students used the UW ground station to command the satellite to change operational modes. Over the first weekend, the camera payload took and transmitted the first pictures from space! The camera included collaboration with Raisbeck Aviation High School and nonprofit Quick2Space.
