This is the third nanosatellite project for SERC and USC intended to fly new payloads and demonstrate various control and communications techniques. A new B-Dot control algorithm will be demonstrated for optimal stability control with low power using torque rods, a rotating multi-packetized beacon transmission source to prove backup to the primary communications system, and data store and forward software to be demonstrated for non-consistent ground contacts. The Cubesat bus is a MISC-2 variant, a sister of the Aeneas design and will use the same flower petal configuration for primary solar array power.
