Headline Details: A 50cm cube satellite proposing 4k8 UHF simplex packet links with 5 watts of RF downlink power. The satellite will use a star tracker and fiber optic gyro for fine attitude estimation and propagation. It will allow guest investigators to utilize multiple CMG arrays to test and validate CMG steering laws, maintain a communication link, downlink data for use in steering law validation over multiple orbits, acquire the sun and charge batteries when necessary. A launch to LEO by the Air Force Research Laboratory is planned not before January 2011.**Further information has been requested from the group** More information is available at http://cusat.cornell.edu/violet
