TEMPEST-D will demonstrate technology for 6U-Class nanosatellites to advance NASA's
Earth Science Goals. It will also reduce risk, cost, and development time for future
constellations of small satellites to perform Earth Science measurements. It will raise the
TRL of a millimeter-wave radiometer instrument from 6 to 7, representing the first on-orbit
demonstration of 35-nm InP HEMT-based millimeter-wave radiometer front ends.

Abstract The Temporal Experiment for Storms and Tropical Systems Technology
Demonstration (TEMPEST-D) is designed to demonstrate required technology to enable a
constellation of 6U-Class nanosatellites to directly observe the time evolution of clouds and
study the conditions that control the transition of clouds to precipitation using high-temporal
resolution observations. TEMPEST millimeter-wave radiometers in the 90-GHz to 183-GHz
frequency range penetrate into the cloud to observe key changes as the cloud begins to …
