This is a transfer of funds to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Wallops Flight Facility (NASA WFF) for commissioning services in support of the first NSF-sponsored satellite mission to be launched by the Department of Defense (DOD) in December 2009. The NSF sponsored nano-satellite will be a "triple (3U) cubesat" and will utilize the Poly-Picosat Orbital Deployer (P-POD) system. The purpose of the NSF nano-satellite mission will be space weather research. The selection of the mission will be done following a solicitation for proposals and scientific and technical review of the proposals. This will be the first project under a new NSF initiative titled: "CubeSat-based Science Missions for Space Weather and Atmospheric Research." NASA WFF will provide technical assistance to NSF for the preparation, integration, and test of the cubesat and the integrated P-POD carrier/ejector system. WFF will also work with the launch sponsor, and launch provider to provide necessary assurances that the Cubesat spacecraft will not adversely interfere with the primary spacecraft, either technically or via schedule delays.

这是向 NASA 戈达德太空飞行中心瓦洛普斯飞行设施 (NASA WFF) 转移资金，用于调试服务，以支持国防部 (DOD) 将于 2009 年 12 月发射的第一个 NSF 赞助的卫星任务。赞助的纳米卫星将是一个“三重（3U）立方体卫星”，并将利用Poly-Picosat Orbital Deployer（P-POD）系统。 美国国家科学基金会纳米卫星任务的目的是进行空间天气研究。 任务的选择将在征求建议书并对建议书进行科学和技术审查后进行。 这将是美国国家科学基金会新倡议下的第一个项目，该倡议名为“基于立方体卫星的空间天气和大气研究科学任务”。 NASA WFF 将向 NSF 提供技术援助，用于立方体卫星和集成 P-POD 运载器/喷射器系统的准备、集成和测试。 WFF 还将与发射赞助商和发射提供商合作，提供必要的保证，确保立方体卫星航天器不会在技术上或通过时间表延误对主航天器产生不利干扰。
