Abstract
Army Cost Efficient Spaceflight Research Experiments and Demonstrations (ACES RED) is an iterative, periodic flight experiment and demonstration effort to test singular phenomenologies, technologies, and concepts for future (S&T) projects that are directly related to and in support of the United States Army Space S&T Roadmap Programs. The first ACES RED experiment, AR#1, has a main focus to generously expand the available dataset to verify long-duration performance as well as mature various commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies that will reduce the cost and complexity while maintaining performance of Army small satellites. AR#1 has a primary focus on attitude determination and control components. The experiment will be mounted on the International Space Station with operation and access to continuous on-orbit data for greater than one year with reliable reference instrumentation.
