2019 to 12 February, 2019 due to the recent partial Federal government shutdown.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">The Ideas Lab for CubeSat Innovation is intended to identify critical opportunities for investment that will significantly advance the state-of-the-art of CubeSat engineering and technology to achieve
the enhanced operational functionality of constellations or swarms in a cost-effective manner, thereby transforming the scope and execution of CubeSat scientific missions. The goal of this Ideas Lab is to identify, explore, and address the major technology
and related barriers to the conception and development of innovative science missions that would benefit from constellations and swarms of CubeSats, and to formulate, design, develop and demonstrate novel, transformative and cost-effective technological solutions
to realize these missions. The proposed approaches may be risky, with a significant possibility of failure, but with the potential to rapidly and significantly advance the CubeSat technology and scientific applications and missions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
