The satellite flight of the MAXIE-1 (Magnetospheric Atmospheric X-ray Imaging Experiment) instrument is being implemented under ONR (the Office of Naval Research) sponsorship. The MAXIE-1 instrument is being developed as a joint activity of Lockheed, the Aerospace Corporation, and the University of Bergen; much of the Lockheed development has been done under the Independent Research Program. Under ONR sponsorship that institution is responsible for managing the program, for providing spacecraft interface requirements, for providing interface activities undertaken in the last three months. Interactions have continued with co-investigators at the Aerospace Corp. and at the University of Bergen. NASTRAN model calculations, thermal analyses and an updated MAXIE assembly drawing and other drawings have been provided to RCA.
