Abstract

​ The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission is led by NASA and is set to launch in 2024. It is purposed to map the effects of inbound particles to earth from the edges of interstellar space. The IMAP- Student Collaboration mission consists of teams from universities around the country including Howard University, Sonoma State University, and the University of New Hampshire. The objective of this mission is to study the causes of electron heating and atomic oxygen levels within the auroral and cusp regions of Earth's Magnetic Field. This will be done by launching 3 CubeSats developed by each university into a polar orbit, which will allow the CubeSats to enter the cusp region and record atomic oxygen levels.
