XSS-10 (eXperimental Small Satellite 10) was a small, low-cost micro-spacecraft developed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate to test technology for line-of-sight guidance of spacecraft.[1] The project was initiated at AFRL by Program Manager David Barnhart [2] and completed by Georgia Tech Research Institute engineer Thom Davis.[3] The project was declared a success shortly after launch.[4]
