The Modular Rapidly Manufactured Small Satellite (MRMSS) project applies modular building block systems to space applications. The need to reduce mass for spaceflight applications and reuse resources is a critical technology for long duration space missions. Mass reduction and reuse of material will help bring down costs for spaceflight missions and open up more possibilities for exploration and research. The MRMSS project consists of two major components: A basic research component demonstrating electronic digital materials, and a technology demonstration applying the modular building block based systems concept to the CubeSat form factor. This paper describes the core technologies developed to enable the modular system as well the first flight demonstration on a sounding rocket.
