The Micro‐Broadband Receiver (μBBR) on the Very‐Low‐Frequency Propagation Mapper CubeSat Open
The very low frequency (VLF) propagation mapper (VPM) is a 6U CubeSat designed to measure VLF radio waves in Low‐Earth Orbit. The science goals of the VPM mission are to measure VLF signals broadcast by the DSX mission, and to study natura…

Equatorial ionospheric plasma drifts and O<sup>+</sup> concentration enhancements associated with disturbance dynamo during the 2015 St. Patrick's Day magnetic storm Open
Disturbance dynamo is an important dynamic process during magnetic storms. However, very few direct observations of dynamo‐induced plasma drifts and ion composition changes in the equatorial ionosphere are available. In this study, we use …

South Atlantic anomaly and CubeSat design considerations Open
Effects of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) on spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) are well known and documented. The SAA exposes spacecraft in LEO to high dose of ionizing radiation as well as higher than normal rates of Single Event Upse…
