Prometheus is series of 1.5U CubeSats for technology development and demonstration. It was developed by the Los Alamos National Labs (LANL) with the dual objective of evaluating new low-cost development and operations methodologies while also assessing the operational utility that can be provided with CubeSat technology. It was DoD funded.
The Prometheus system consists of CubeSats along with supporting ground and field segment equipment, all designed as an integrated system. LANL is serving as the primary builder and system integrator and will perform on-orbit system checkout, test, and evaluation. The satellites were probably based on the earlier Perseus satellites.
