Design, develop, and test a reliable CubeSat bus capability for sensor and imaging missions.

Description

Design, develop, and test a reliable CubeSat bus capability for sensor and imaging missions for the Space Systems Research Laboratory (SSRL) to create a better foundation for future CubeSat missions for the organization and potentially other partners. MVP-A serves the purpose of being a "lessons-learned" spacecraft from the critical failures that occurred in the development of the COPPER-2 and Rascal-1 spacecraft and the faults discovered many years later in both the original COPPER and Argus spacecrafts.
