CP4 is Cal Poly's fourth satellite. This satellite is the backup flight model of CP2 which failed due to DNEPR failure.

[edit] Mission

The primary missions of CP4 were an energy dissipation experiment as well as a field-test of what we have dubbed the CP Bus. CP4 marks our first attempt at "standardizing" a CubeSat bus to enable easier integration of a wide variety of payloads.
