Three Corner Satellite
Abstract
As part of the overall Three Corner Satellite (3CS) project within the University Satellite Program, the development and testing of the science Imaging System and the End-to-End Data System (EEDS) were undertaken at the University of Colorado in conjunction with team members from Arizona and New Mexico. This report describes the overall satellite project and the details of the development of the Imaging System and the EEDS. The Three Corner Satellite (3CS) constellation is a cluster of three nanosatellites that are part of the U.S. Air Force University Nanosat program. The 3CS project was begun in January 1999 and the cluster of satellites is presently awaiting launch in 2003 from the Space Shuttle. The 3CS project is a joint effort of the faculty, staff and students at the three participating universities: Arizona State University (ASU), New Mexico State University (NMSU), and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU).
