PTD-R, a 6U CubeSat, contains Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s Deep Purple payload. This includes two monolithic telescopes (one for UV and the other for VIS/SWIR imaging), as well as a compact electronics module, and a novel, lightweight, carbon-composite optical housing and radiator. Its mission objectives are to observe UV and SWIR light from high-UV stars and the Milky Way’s galactic bulge, as well as to demonstrate space domain awareness.
The multiple, planned PTD missions will demonstrate and validate new and novel subsystem technologies that can be scaled and utilized on a wide range of future science and exploration missions.
