  The CuPID CubeSat Observatory was a 6U cubesat launched into low-Earth orbit
with a ride-share opportunity in Fall 2021. The mission was supported by NASA's
Heliophysics division and motivated scientifically with the objective to image
X-rays produced in the magnetosphere. After launch, the team was unable to
communicate with the spacecraft. This document presents the testing and
analysis of attempts to contact the spacecraft and investigation to the likely
cause of failure with the radio system.
