Program: SMDC-ONE
Space Missile Defense Command - Operational Nanosatellite Effect
US Army experimental program of 10 small satellites to achieve or
demonstrate:
1. Demonstrate the ability to rapidly design and develop militarily relevant
low cost spacecraft.
2. Receive packetized data from multiple Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS).
Transmit that data to ground stations within the SMDC-ONE ground track.
3. Provide real time voice and text message data relay to and from field
deployed tactical radio systems.
4. Demonstrate SMDC-ONE operational life time of 12 months or longer.
Based on triple Cubesat of 4kg each.
