dc.description.abstract | The very low frequency (VLF) propagation mapper (VPM) is a 6U CubeSat designed to measure VLF radio waves in Low-Earth Orbit. The science goals of the VPM mission are to measure VLF signals broadcast by the DSX mission, and to study natural and anthropogenic signals (from lightning and VLF transmitters) in the near-Earth space environment. The primary payload consists of an electric field dipole antenna deployed to 2 meters in length, and a magnetic search coil deployed 50 cm from the spacecraft. Signals from these two sensors are conditioned by analog electronics, sampled, and then processed digitally into downloadable data products. The VPM mission was launched in January 2020; science operations began in March 2020 and continued through September, when contact with the spacecraft was lost. This paper describes the mission goals and instrument designs in detail, as well as some examples of the VPM data se | |

dc.description.sponsorship | [P2247-04] This work was supported by the Air Force Research Laboratory. The VPM payload development was conducted under contract FA9453-12-C-0217 to Stanford University. The Air Force Research Laboratory built and operated the VPM spacecraft. We thank LPC2E for providing the search coil for VPM. Payload integration support was conducted by the University of Colorado Boulder under contract NM17-339 from ATA Aerospace. Data processing and analysis was conducted under contract FA9453-19-C-0400 to Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER), Incorporated and subcontract P2247-04 to the University of Colorado Boulder. The authors wish to acknowledge the many students at Stanford and CU Boulder who contributed to the design, development, and operation of the VPM mu BBR instrument | |
