Research abstract
This offer proposes a set of activities to develop concepts and architectures to explore the potential deployment of a cellular radio base station as a CubeSat payload to support MUOS communication beyond 65 latitude. Following a traditional systems engineering approach, the Phase 1 objective is to work through the full array of needs, requirements and constraints for the mission and then provide the exploration, analysis and trades necessary to arrive at an architecture and concept that best satisfies the mission objective - MUOS satellite communication services in the Polar Regions.
