Abstract
ITASAT-2 is a Brazil-United States mission to study ionospheric phenomena that occur in low orbit and to develop and demonstrate capabilities in geolocation. Brazil will be responsible for the spacecraft development, integration and testing of the CubeSat and the US partners will provide the space weather payloads. The geolocation payload and radiation measurement instrument is intended to be provided by Brazil partners. To be able to accommodate the expected payloads and the required subsystems a 12 U CubeSat is foreseen. This works presents the ongoing work of ITASAT-2 mission covering the Concept of Operation and expected challenges identified for mission development, maneuvers and propulsion, commissioning and operations. The intended partners for the mission are NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Utah State University, University of Texas at Dallas, Aerospace Corporation, Brazilian Universities and institutes.
