Research abstract
Space Micro Inc., teamed with the US Air Force Academy Physics department, offer a novel yet producible solution to ultra miniature space weather instruments. Our approach features the following attributes and benefits: 1.Our instrument will address both neutral wind and thermal plasma 2.Ultra miniature with MEMS technology and advanced electronics packaging 3.Use in LEO, but also capable of GEO and highly elliptical orbit operation 4.Applicable to space weather and also SSA and ORS initiatives 5.Space Micro will include as part of our space weather suite of instruments (supports Air Force missions such as TSAT and ANGELS) 6.We can provide flight hardware by the end of Phase II
