Firebird

FIREBIRD is a collaborative CubeSat space weather mission of two 1.5U CubeSats, designed and developed by Montana State University (MSU, Bozeman, MT), University of New Hampshire (UNH, Durham, NH), The Aerospace Corporation (El Segundo, CA), and LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratories, Los Alamos, NM). The collaboration is referred to as the FIREBIRD consortium. The mission objective is to assess the spatial scale and spatial temporal ambiguity of magnetospheric microbursts in the Van Allen radiation belts. The FIREBIRD mission is funded by NSF (National Science Foundation).
