N2 - The University of Colorado Boulder Earth Escape Explorer (CU-E3) CubeSat is a student designed and built 6U CubeSat initially planned to launch into deep space as part of Artemis-1, the inaugural launch of the NASA Space Launch System. CU-E3 will be participating in the Cube Quest Challenge’s Deep Space Derby, competing for monetary prizes associated with deep space communication system performance, while also serving as a technology demonstration platform for a series of innovative University CubeSat technologies and practices. An overview of the CU-E3 project, including mission concept of operations, system architecture, and major component descriptions are provided. Emphasis is focused on CU-E3’s novel technologies as well as the difficulties of a student designed and built deep space CubeSat. Additionally, initial system testing, integration, and environmental testing results are presented.
