CubeSats for Climate Change Monitoring (C3M) advances a compact, low-power infrared spectrometer flying on a 1U CubeSat to detect and map greenhouse gases, support wildfire mitigation and recovery, and help characterize volcanic hazards. C3M flies on the Artemis CubeSat Kit and is funded by NASA EPSCoR.

Lunar HyTI is a thermal infrared hyperspectral imager that will fly aboard Intuitive Machines' Altus-1 to map molecular water and lunar mineralogy, including on the farside, and to detect infrared flashes from small meteorite impacts. It has passed environmental testing; launch is planned for the first quarter of 2027.

The Neutron-2 (N2) mission will focus on measuring neutrons in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) using a CubeSat(s) flying in a polar orbit. It will be flying the next generation of neutron detectors developed at Arizona State University (ASU) and it will leverage lessons learned from Neutron-1, launched by HSFL in 2020. We are working with the University Nanosatellite Program (UNP) to accomplish the goals of the Neutron-2 mission.
