The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) carry several instruments each with its own requirements. Because accommodating all of them is difficult, there is interest in putting some on their own smaller platforms. The simplest instruments are the magnetometers. These are small and have low communication, attitude control and cleanliness requirements. Getting on-station and operating in close proximity with another satellite, however, requires significant propulsion capabilities. This paper describes a CubeSat mission that goes from geo-transfer to geostationary orbit and operates next to a GOES spacecraft. Requirements, a notional design and performance predictions are provided.
