M3

The M3 (Multi-Mode Mission) is a 3U CubeSat Microthruster Technology Demonstration Mission by the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

M3 is a technology demonstration mission that will validate operation and performance of a multi-mode micro-propulsion system.

The objectives are to:

  • fabricate a flight-version of the multi-mode propulsion system (propellant tank, feed system, thruster)
  • integrate the thruster system into a 3U CubeSat platform
  • conduct and complete CubeSat operational and environmental tests

It was selected in 2017 by NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) to be launched as part of the ELaNa program.
