Research abstract
The intent of this proposal is to work with the Berkeley Space Sciences Lab to develop a precision pointing platform to support a large aperture optical telescope, by addressing the unique requirements of this use case, and using K2 Space’s low-cost, high-performance modular architecture to produce a space vehicle and payload combination suitable for launching on SpaceX’s starship launch vehicle within the next few years.
