Because the orbit will be approximately 360 km in altitude and of 52° inclination, FalconSAT-2 observations will complement those of low latitude missions (e.g., C/NOFS) and polar latitude, higher altitude missions (e.g., DMSP).
The second platform - Surrey's Interplanetary Platform - has been designed to support missions with delta-V requirements up to 3200 m/s, making it ideal for low cost missions to Mars and Venus, as well as Near Earth Objects (NEOs) and other interplanetary trajectories.
He won the toss, and a couple of weeks afterward got into a B-25 bomber and flew a low-level mission over Tinian, to see what that was like.
When it looked as though the Pope would be incapacitated after Mehemet Ali Agca's shooting in May 1981, Hume said this would allow him to start a new kind of low-profile mission.
