RELEASE 13-252
NASA Announces Next Opportunity for CubeSat Space Missions
NASA is now accepting proposals for the CubeSat Launch Initiative. Proposals
must be submitted electronically by 4:30 p.m. EST Nov. 26.
>From the submissions, NASA will select the best proposals by Feb. 7.
Developers whose proposals are selected may have the opportunity to see
their creations launched as an auxiliary payload on a mission between 2014
and 2017. NASA will not provide funding for the development of the small
satellites and selection does not guarantee a launch opportunity.
CubeSats are a class of cube-shaped research spacecraft called
nanosatellites. They are approximately 4 inches long, have a volume of about
1 quart and weigh less than 3 pounds.
CubeSat investigations should be consistent with NASA's strategic plan and
educational vision and goals. The research should address specific aspects
of science, exploration, technology development, education or operations.
>From the first four rounds of the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative, 89
payloads from 25 U.S. states made the short list for launch opportunities in
2011 through 2016. Of the selected CubeSats, 12 satellites have already
launched. Twenty-one Cubesats are scheduled for launch later this year.
