Thunderstorm Effects in Space: Technology Nanosatellite (TEST) Program

Abstract

Science Objections: Understand source/propagation of Acoustic Gravity Waves into space environment, investigate lightning-induced electron precipitation and coupling into the radiation belt, investigate thunderstorm coupling to ionosphere and global electric circuit fields Technology Objections: Develop a low-cost reliable nanosatellite, demonstrate nanosatellite payloads can be sophisticated and capable of new science, develop passive radiator for cooling, provide precise attitude control for remote sensing Educational Objectives: Stimulate many undergraduate students and stimulate secondary students and public.
