Technical Session V: Year in Review

Abstract

The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Agile Space Program (ASP) has developed a paradigm intended to enable new, low cost, rapidly deployed space systems. Aspects of this paradigm in the areas of requirements definition, tailoring of risk, and controlling the costs of reproduction and operations are discussed. A history of the LANL ASP is provided. A high level description of the Prometheus CubeSat system along with its constituent components is included. A description of the hosted payload capability offered by Prometheus Block 2 is provided.
