Abstract
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) is a CubeSat mission to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-rays band by means of a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUSP is a project in the framework of the Alcor Program of the Italian Space Agency aimed to develop new CubeSat missions. CUSP is approved for a Phase B study that will last for 12 month starting from the beginning of 2024. We report on the current status of the CUSP mission design, mission analysis and payload scientific performance.
