The 140-gram Black Box and S3 can ID its satellite with GPS within a few minutes after turn-on while in LEO orbit from pole to pole 24/7. The Black Box is an independent barnacle that can track damaged satellites or identify problems early, several hours before ground station contact. TLE can be produced and sent automatically to the 18th Squadron and to the payload team within minutes of orbit deployment. The Black Box subsystems are TRL 9.
