Abstract
TEMPEST-D will demonstrate technology for 6U-Class nanosatellites to advance NASA's Earth Science Goals. It will also reduce risk, cost, and development time for future constellations of small satellites to perform Earth Science measurements. It will raise the TRL of a millimeter-wave radiometer instrument from 6 to 7, representing the first on-orbit demonstration of 35-nm InP HEMT-based millimeter-wave radiometer front ends.
