This quarterly report covers the progress for the development, fabrication, test, and delivery of Environmental Research Satellites for in-space propulsion systems experiments. This program is concerned with the development of a friction experiment and a zero gravity heat transfer experiment, each of which will be orbited in space with its own separate satellite system. Two spacecraft will be built for each experiment. One unit is designated a prototype for subjecting to qualification tests, and the second unit is a flight unit which will be launched as a subsatellite carried as an auxiliary payload onboard a primary launch mission.
