Pegsat was designed, built, and tested in slightly more than 6 months to meet the planned launch date for the first launch of the Pegasus vehicle. The primary objective of this multifunction spacecraft was to obtain environmental data from the Pegasus vehicle for use in designing future satellite busses. Taking full advantage of the opportunity, Pegsat also deployed a small Navy experimental satellite, and conducted scientific experiments over northern Canada in support of the upcoming CRRES mission.
