ExoTerra Resource has recently won a NASA Tipping Point contract to qualify, build and launch a 12U Cubesat bus which has unique High Propulsion (1.2km/s) and High Power (~300W) capabilities. The on-orbit task for this mission is to demonstrate the range of orbit maneuvers possible with this bus. The orbital operational envelope is expected to be between 300km and 1800km in altitude and we expect to demonstrate a range of capabilities, from dipping orbits, neutral drag offset orbits, elliptical orbits and orbit raising and lowering. A payload has not been identified for this mission and we have approximately 3.4U of volume to host a payload.
