Wallops Flight Facility Support for Second Cubesat-based Science Misson

这是一笔向美国国家航空航天局戈达德太空飞行中心沃洛普斯飞行设施(NASA WFF)的资金转移，用于管理和工程服务，以支持国家侦察办公室将于2010年8月发射的NSF赞助的卫星任务。美国国家科学基金会赞助的纳米卫星是一颗“三颗(3U)立方体卫星”，它将利用Poly-PicoSat轨道布置器(P-POD)系统。美国国家科学基金会纳米卫星任务的目的是一项大气科学实验，旨在调查地球伽马射线闪光。NASA WFF将为NSF提供立方体卫星系统的准备、文件和测试方面的技术援助。WFF还将与发射赞助商和发射供应商合作，提供必要的保证，保证立方体卫星航天器不会对主要航天器产生不利干扰，无论是在技术上还是通过计划延误。

This is a transfer of funds to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Wallops Flight Facility (NASA WFF) for management and engineering services in support of NSF-sponsored satellite mission to be launched by the National Reconnaissance Office in August 2010. The NSF sponsored nano-satellite is a "triple (3U) cubesat" that will utilize the Poly-Picosat Orbital Deployer (P-POD) system. The purpose of the NSF nano-satellite mission is an atmospheric science experiment aimed at investigating Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes. NASA WFF will provide technical assistance to NSF for the preparation, documentation, and test of the cubesat system. WFF will also work with the launch sponsor, and launch provider to provide necessary assurances that the Cubesat spacecraft will not adversely interfere with the primary spacecraft, either technically or via schedule delays.
