ADAMASat is an experimental mission aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of launching CubeSats from the Wallops 17" sounding rocket. CubeSats will carry out experiments and return data via telemetry to ground stations in Kentucky and Wallops. Partners include Cal Poly and NASA Wallops Flight Facility.

Terrier-Malemute The Terrier-Malamute is a two-stage, solid fuel rocket consisting of a Terrier 1st stage and a Malamute 2nd stage. It is capable of lifting a 200 lb payload to an apogee of approximately 700 km or a 500 lb payload to approximately 400 km.
SOCEM Purpose • The purpose of this mission is to demonstrate the feasibility of launching CubeSats from the Wallops 17” sounding rocket form-factor. • Once ejected, the CubeSats will carry out experiments and return data via telemetry to mobile ground stations deployed at Wallops and existing ground stations in Kentucky.
Partners • Cal Poly partnering to provide Poly CubeSat Launcher (PCL) and a CubeSat Experiment • Kentucky Space: CubeSat, Sounding Rocket, High-Altitude Balloon Programs • NASA Wallops Flight Facility Sounding Rockets Program
SOCEM Success Criteria • Minimum Success Criteria • Integration of PCL in Malemute payload section • Delivery and Integration of CubeSats into PCL • Acceptance testing of complete payload • Comprehensive Success Criteria • Successful ejection of CubeSats • Reception of telemetry data from CubeSats on portable ground stations at Wallops and stations in Kentucky • Successful reception of experiment results from monofilament cutter system
