Systems Integration and Test of the Lunar Flashlight Spacecraft
Presented at the AIAA Small Satellite Conference in Logan, UT. Lunar Flashlight is a 6U CubeSat launching in late 2022 or early 2023 that will search for surface water ice content in permanently shadowed regions at the south pole of the Moon using infrared relative reflectance spectroscopy. The miss...
