SporeSatground-station-and-mission-data-relay-providerTell me more

SRI International operated SporeSat's primary ground station in Menlo Park, transmitting mission data to spacecraft operators at NASA Ames Research Center. · SporeSat biological-science CubeSat mission operations and data relay.

NASA's Open Science Data Repository identifies the primary ground station at SRI and its data-relay role to the NASA Ames mission-control operators.

mission context
TechEdSat-6 and TechEdSat-7flight-demonstration-payload-providerTell me more

SRI International supplied its CUBIT identification-tag technology for on-orbit demonstrations aboard the TechEdSat-6 and TechEdSat-7 CubeSat missions. · On-orbit demonstration of low-power RF identification technology intended to distinguish small satellites shortly after deployment.

NASA records two successful CUBIT flight demonstrations on these host missions and identifies SRI as the technology builder.

mission context
University of Michiganspacecraft-development-and-science-partnerTell me more

SRI International and the University of Michigan jointly conducted the RAX CubeSat mission, combining an orbiting receiver with ground-based bistatic-radar measurements. · Radio Aurora Explorer RAX-1 and RAX-2 CubeSat missions for ionospheric plasma-turbulence and auroral-scatter research.

The NSF–NASA annual report explicitly says the RAX mission was jointly conducted by SRI International and the University of Michigan. SRI's published RAX work describes its orbiting receiver and ground-transmitter measurement architecture.
