Abstract

CuSPP+ is a 6U interplanetary CubeSat that has a high probability of being selected for one of the EM-1 launch slots in 2018. It is an upgrade of an already funded 3U low-earth-orbit CubeSat (CuSPP: CubeSat mission to study Solar Particles over the Earth’s Poles). It will study the acceleration of particles in the heliosphere, and hopefully serve as a precursor to a fleet of interplanetary CubeSats to study space weather. The science goals and engineering tradeoffs of CuSPP+ will be discussed.
