This is a transfer of funds to the U.S. Air Force Space Test Program for accommodations and launch services for an auxiliary payload carrying a NSF-sponsored spacecraft on the STP-S26/Minotaur-IV launch scheduled for December 2009. The NSF sponsored nano-satellite will be a "triple (3U) cubesat" and will utilize the Poly-Picosat Orbital Deployer (P-POD) system. The purpose of the NSF nano-satellite mission will be space weather research. The selection of the mission will be done following a solicitation for proposals and scientific and technical review of the proposals. This will be the first project under a new NSF initiative titled: "CubeSat-based Science Missions for Space Weather and Atmospheric Research."

这是一笔向美国空军空间测试计划的资金转移，用于在2009年12月发射的STP-S26/ minotaaur - iv上运载nsf赞助的航天器的辅助有效载荷的住宿和发射服务。美国国家科学基金会赞助的纳米卫星将是一个“三（3U）立方体卫星”，并将利用多皮卫星轨道部署器（P-POD）系统。NSF纳米卫星任务的目的是进行空间天气研究。特派团的选择将在征求建议书和对建议书进行科学和技术审查之后进行。这将是美国国家科学基金会一项名为“基于立方体卫星的空间天气和大气研究科学任务”的新倡议下的第一个项目。
