Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity
James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33
In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…
Simultaneous High Dynamic Range Algorithm, Testing, and Instrument Simulation
James Paul Mason, Daniel B. Seaton, Andrew R. Jones +4
Within an imaging instrument's field of view, there may be many observational targets of interest. Similarly, within a spectrograph's bandpass, there may be many emission lines of…
MinXSS-2 CubeSat mission overview: Improvements from the successful MinXSS-1 mission
James Paul Mason, Thomas N. Woods, Phillip C. Chamberlin +9
The second Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS-2) CubeSat, which begins its flight in late 2018, builds on the success of MinXSS-1, which flew from 2016-05-16 to 2017-05-06.…
MinXSS-1 CubeSat On-Orbit Pointing and Power Performance: The First Flight of the Blue Canyon Technologies XACT 3-axis Attitude Determination and Control System
James Paul Mason, Matt Baumgart, Bryan Rogler +10
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) is a 3 Unit (3U) CubeSat designed for a 3-month mission to study solar soft X-ray spectral irradiance. The first of the two flight m…
Measurements and Modeling of Total Solar Irradiance in X-Class Solar Flares
Christopher Samuel Moore, Phillip Clyde Chamberlin, Rachel Hock
The Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) from NASA's SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) can detect changes in the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) to a precision of 2 ppm, allowi…
Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) - A Science-Oriented, University 3U CubeSat
James P. Mason, Thomas N. Woods, Amir Caspi +7
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) is a 3-Unit (3U) CubeSat developed at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado, Boulder…
