摘要

The goals of the Student Collaboration (StC) of the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission are to augment IMAP science return, develop hands-on research experience for students, and contribute to expanding participation and skills of undergraduate students in space science and engineering. This has been achieved through a collaborative hardware program involving three universities that resulted in students designing, building, assembling, integrating, testing, calibrating, and delivering a 3U CubeSat (3UCubed) to NASA for launch, and in building, updating, and testing ground stations to run mission and science operations. Post-launch through the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI), the students shall participate in joint data analysis of measurements from IMAP and 3UCubed. The IMAP StC has developed a strong recruitment and retention program that takes advantage of the expertise of the participating universities to bring numerous students to space-related science, technology, engineering, and mathematics degrees. The StC incorporated a comprehensive evaluation component to provide program evaluation on specific goals, demonstrating the overall success in student recruitment and retention, as well as expanding students’ knowledge of engineering and scientific skills and concepts. Here, we focus on the descriptions of the origin and objectives of the IMAP Student Collaboration, its pre-launch activities, and the lessons learned from the collaborative effort as well as the technical description of the CubeSat, including its payload.
