BioSentinel was one of the ten 6U CubeSats launched by the Space Launch System (SLS) as part of the Artemis-I mission on November 16th, 2022. The spacecraft was deployed after the trans-lunar injection imparted by the upper stage of SLS, and performed a lunar flyby that provided the necessary energy to escape the Earth-Moon system into heliocentric space. The BioSentinel mission required flight dynamics support prior to flight to assess the deployment conditions and the trajectory design, as well as navigation support during flight, to provide orbit determination solutions for the mission and the Deep Space Network (DSN). This paper discusses the BioSentinel mission flight dynamics campaign, from mission design to the challenges and lessons learned encountered during flight.
