The majority of today's CubeSat fleet consists of Earth-orbiting missions that mostly use existing ground systems developed by universities because of availability, simplicity, and low-cost. The Interplanetary NanoSpacecraft Pathfinder In Relevant Environment (INSPIRE) mission is a revolutionary CubeSat mission that will launch a pair of CubeSats into deep space to study the feasibility of CubeSats beyond low-Earth orbit. This uncovers a new set of systems and software engineering challenges to the development of a robust and reliable ground system in a low-cost environment. In this paper, we discuss the approach to these challenges by using the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) Advanced Multimission Operation System (AMMOS) Ground Data System (GDS) as well as the methodologies used to engineer the flight system to work with an existing ground system developed for large-scale missions. Specifically we will focus on the command and telemetry subsystem of AMMOS, the Multimission Data Processing and Control System. We conclude with a retrospective on the challenges encountered and a brief discussion on our efforts to provide AMMOS to support future deep space CubeSat missions.
