Three Corner Sat (3CS) is a mission of 3 university nanosatellites scheduled for launch in late 2002. The 3CS mission will utilize significant autonomy to improve mission robustness and science return. The 3CS mission will use onboard science data validation, responsive replanning, robust execution, and anomaly detection based on multiple models. Flight of these revolutionary technologies will enable new opportunities in space-borne science and space exploration.
