Nanosat (part of the 3 Corner Satellite formation
and the basis for the NMSU satellite).
***Mission Summary***
A nanosatellite will be designed
to provide the operational support to carry out the science,
technology, and educational mission elements. This satellite
will be designed to fit the nominal design envelope of a mass
not exceed 20 kg and linear dimensions not to exceed 45 cm at
the widest point. The conceptual design for the nanosatellite
is illustrated below:  |

Science Mission: Perform Near Ultra
Violet (NUV) emission intensity measurements of the earth’s
upper atmosphere over the night side of the earth.
Engineering Mission: Communications
experiment of standard wireless networking techniques and to
demonstrate techniques for distributed data relaying over the
Internet; energy storage experiment is to assess the operational
characteristics of double layer capacitors as compared with batteries
for electrical energy storage if these devices can be made space
rated.
Educational Mission: To assist
in the further development of the aerospace engineering concentration
area in the College of Engineering and to develop multi-disciplinary
capstone and design classes for students in engineering departments
and the engineering physics program
