Montana State University students, faculty mentors, and collaborators, designed a microsatellite under the AFOSR/AFRL/GSFC/AIAA University Nanosatellite Program III. Major motivation for the project was to promote the educational development of students as engineers and scientists in space hardware and space systems engineering. Approximately 85 students participated in the project. The satellite will accomplish substantive scientific, engineering, and technological objectives including the first orbital test of several new technologies including new solid state charged particle sensors for science; a solar panel deployed via an Elastic Memory Composite deployment hinge developed under separate AFRL support to CTD, Inc of Lafayette, CO; the use of hybrid magnetoresistive magnetometer devices within an active magnetic three-axis attitude control system; and further application of consumer and COTS devices in the space environment. During the grant period the Maia satellite moved through initial design, design freeze, engineering design, prototyping, subsystem testing, and well into hardware fabrication. Strict adherence to proper design methodologies was enforced; internal and external design reviews took place; and a configuration management system was implemented ensuring adequate documentation of the design, and tracking of changes following subsystem design freeze. This final report updates progress subsequent to the two prior progress reports incorporated as appendices.
