Oculus-ASR is a nanosatellite currently being developed to aid in the
advancement of U.S. Space Situational Awareness as part of the University
Nanosatellite Program. The program gives students the opportunity to work
with industry sponsors in an effort to construct the best nanosatellite in a
nationwide competition, hosted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
Now in its 6th iteration, the program is commonly referred to as UN-6.

The main goal of the Oculus-ASR project is a contribution towards space
situational awareness by way of telescope calibration and space-to-space
imaging. The Oculus-ASR will provide calibration opportunities with a vehicle
of known optical characteristics for observation by the Attitude and Shape
Recognition program's ground-based telescopes. Additionally, the Oculus-
ASR will be capable of acquiring, imaging, tracking, and monitoring objects
within the local vicinity of the vehicle.
