This is a transfer of funds to the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) for the production of a flight unit CubeSat Launcher (NPSCuL-Lite) and associated activities, as part of the AS&T Development and Maturation Satellite (ADaMSat) sponsored by the National Reconnaissance Office. The first flight of ADaMSat is currently scheduled for August 2010 as part of the NROL-41 launch. NPSCuL-Lite is required in support of the launch of Firefly, a NSF CubeSat project, on ADaMSat. 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 Firefly mission is an atmospheric science experiment aimed at investigating Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes. The deliverables from this effort include one NPSCuL flight unit structure and one engineering development unit for use by the launch provider, one ADaMSat mass model for use in case ADaMSAT is unavailable to fly, ADaMSat loaded P-POD mass models in case any particular payload is unavailable to fly, and all requisite documentation. NPS will also support the Integrating Contractor with ADaMSat integration activities, specifically integration of ADaMSat payloads, including the NFS Firefly P-POD, onto the NPSCuL structure. Several graduate students at NPS will be involved with this project.

这是向海军研究生院转移的资金，用于生产飞行单元立方体卫星发射器（NPSCuL-Lite）和相关活动，作为国家侦察局赞助的AS T开发和成熟卫星（ADaMSat）的一部分。& ADaMSat的首次飞行目前定于2010年8月进行，作为NROL-41发射的一部分。 需要NPSCuL-Lite来支持在ADaMSat上发射Firefly，这是一个NSF CubeSat项目。 美国国家科学基金会赞助的纳米卫星是一个"三（3U）立方体卫星"，将利用多皮卫星轨道部署器（P-POD）系统。 萤火虫使命的目的是一个大气科学实验，旨在调查地球伽马射线闪光。 这项工作的交付成果包括一个NPSCuL飞行单元结构和一个工程开发单元，供发射供应商使用，一个ADaMSAT质量模型，供ADaMSAT无法飞行时使用，ADaMSAT加载的P-POD质量模型，供任何特定有效载荷无法飞行时使用，以及所有必要的文件。 NASA还将支持集成承包商进行ADaMSat集成活动，特别是将ADaMSat有效载荷（包括NFS Firefly P-POD）集成到NPSCuL结构上。 几个研究生将参与这个项目。
