The GRID is a student-driven space-borne project with the goal to detect gamma-ray transients in the energy range of 10 keV to 2 MeV.  GRID is composed of a constellation of CubeSats (with an all-sky coverage) deployed in low earth orbit. 

The scientific motivation(s) of GRID are: 
  * Detection of gamma-rays associated with GW events
  * Network based GRB monitor (general purpose analyses)
  * Search/identification of Magnetars
  * TGFs
  * Training students how to develop, lead and organize within collaboration

Below is a list of CubeSats launched as part of the GRID constellation.
