2023 has been a busy year for the Goddard SmallSat community! In this welcome and overview video, learn about what missions have launched, which ones are preparing for delivery, and what is planned as we look toward the future.

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is one of the few space organizations that can manage a mission from beginning to end: imagine it, build it, test it, launch it and reap the scientific benefits. Come take a behind-the-scenes look at our facilities and meet some of the people who are working every day to make the impossible possible.

"NASA STEM Stars" is joined by aerospace engineer Allison Evans, who specializes in CubeSats. Learn about her path to NASA and how she ended up building and testing spacecraft the size of a loaf of bread.

NASA's Wallops Flight Facility provides agile, low-cost flight and launch range services to meet government and commercial sector needs for accessing flight regimes worldwide from the Earth's surface to the moon and beyond.

From sounding rockets to scientific balloons to research aircraft, NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is a unique national asset that has a lot to offer.

A brief overview of GSFC's core Flight System (cFS), an open-source flight software framework, followed by a more detailed look at the SmallSat-oriented cFS distribution known as Multi-Mission NOS3.

CubeSat developers at GSFC gather to answer questions and talk about their experience in the mission definition and design stages of CubeSat development.

An overview and demonstration of OpenSatKit (OSK), a desktop environment for learning the core Flight System Framework (cFS) and apps, developing new apps, and integrating apps into a functional system.

An overview of the NASA Operational Simulator for Small Satellites (NOS3), an open-source, software-only testbed for small satellites, and of its newest functionality in Release 1.05.00.

A discussion of NASA's internships and student flight opportunities, available from high school to graduate school, which leverage NASA’s unique missions and programs to enhance and increase the capability, diversity, and size of the nation's future STEM workforce.

Learn about how NASA handles reimbursable and non-reimbursable partnerships, the goals of the Agency, and exciting collaboration opportunities for industry and academia.

An overview of GSFC's Modular Architecture for a Resilient Extensible SmallSat (MARES), an architecture for beyond-LEO SmallSat missions that allows the development of systems for harsh space environments while addressing affordability for small satellites.

A discussion of the integration, testing, and operation of CubeSats with a panel of GSFC engineers and project managers respresenting a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.
