Each Nanosat Constellation Trailblazer is 25 kg, 0.52m dia 0.48 high oct prism with an extendable boom for 1.0m? span. Three satellites on a single launch to 300 x 4500 km x 97 deg on Pegasus XL from Vandenberg. Built by GSFC. Will study magnetosphere; spacecraft highly magnetically clean to allow short mag booms.
