Miles Space was founded in 2015 as a space exploration and technology development company and will be competing in the NASA Cube Quest Challenge with a planned launch date in late 2017. Miles Space is building a 14kg 6U spacecraft capable of achieving lunar orbit then breaking away for deep space operation. Using an array of ConstantQ plasma thrusters, a phased array antenna that is fabricated while in space, and new AI systems, "Miles" (the spacecraft) will autonomously navigate its mission objectives of lunar orbit and deep space communications.
