Boulder Unmanned Sensor for Transport Events and Repositioner (Dust BUSTER)
Dust BUSTER will miniaturize, manufacture, and test a Technology Readiness Level 4 dust instrument to characterize dust transport events similar to those that occur on asteroids. To aid the instrument, the team will also design and test an Autonomous Repositioning System to tilt a 6U CubeSat to the ideal angle for dust collection.
