IT-SPINS (Ionospheric-Thermospheric Scanning Photometer for Ion-Neutral Studies) is a 3U CubeSat satellite developed by the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory (SSEL) at Montana State University. The satellite will demonstrate the utility of low-cost nanosatellites to provide focused observations to supplement ionospheric forecasting models.
