Scientific paper

DICE (Dynamic Ionospheric Cubesat Experiment) is an NSF mission scheduled for launch October 25, 2011 consisting of two identical satellites placed in a 350 x 820 km orbit at 101.95 degree inclination. The payload consists of a suite of miniaturized ionospheric diagnostic instruments including a ten meter electric field double probe, an electric field spectrometer, a sweeping Langmuir probe and a three axis magnetometer. These instruments will be used to understand the formation of storm-time enhanced density plumes in the late afternoon local time sector where observations are currently lacking. The instrumentation suite will provide measurements of the ionospheric density and fields at 70 Hz (~0.12 km/sample) on orbit with temperature and spectrometer data at lower rates. Within this paper we show the expected performance of the instrumentation and ground based calibration results.
