P-POD Payload Planner’s Guide: Revision B – 5/15/00 10 of 19 Once the CubeSat’s mission ends, it must not pose a threat to any other orbiting spacecraft. There must be proof that the CubeSat will de-orbit within a reasonable span of time after completing its mission. This proof should be given and documented in the CubeSat operations guide. 5. DELIVERY DEADLINES AND PRICING The current anticipated launch date for the P-POD2 maiden mission is Late Summer 2001, with a delivery date in Late Spring 2001. This requires constant and committed communication between the P-POD team and all CubeSat design teams. This final section of the document details the business-related aspects of the deployment system. Issues related to the following topics shall be covered: 5.1 P-POD Design Schedule 5.2 Design Reviews 5.3 Payload Planner’s Guide Negotiations 5.4 Pricing 5.5 Contact Information 5.1. P-POD Design Schedule As stated above, the anticipated launch for P-POD and the CubeSats is August 2001. This launch opportunity is in the process of acquisition aboard the JAWSAT deployment vehicle on board the OSP Space Launch Vehicle. Table 5.1 outlines the major milestones and completion dates for the P-POD system.

P-POD Payload Planner’s Guide: Revision B – 5/15/00 11 of 19 All CubeSats should follow the Timeline in Table 5.2: Milestone Completion Date Engineering Model Fabrication Summer, 2000 Flight Model Fabrication Mid-Fall, 2000 Environmental Testing of Flight Spacecraft Winter, 2001 Spacecraft Operational Verification Spring, 2001 CubeSat Delivery to Cal Poly Late Spring/Early Summer, 2001 Table 5.2. CubeSat Completion Timeline 5.2. Design Reviews The P-POD design team is currently scheduling weekly design reviews between the P- POD team and all CubeSat design teams. Once the CubeSat teams are identified, the P- POD team shall finalize the times for these reviews. 5.3. Payload Planner’s Guide Negotiations The Payload Planner’s Guide is a living document, and changes shall be made to this document as the P-POD design team sees fit. All CubeSat teams shall be given notice of the updates, and copies of the updated Guide provided immediately. If any CubeSat team feels that changes are required to this document, the P-POD design team shall put forth the highest degree of effort to see that those changes are made in a timely manner. If any problems should arise between the P-POD team and the CubeSat teams, Prof. Jordi Puig- Suari shall serve an arbitrator. 5.4. Pricing The P-POD Design team is providing launching and deployment services to all CubeSat teams. The price per CubeSat aboard the P-Pod system has not been determined. Please refer to the contact information at the end of this section for further details. 5.5.
