I am involved with this project at Vermont Technical College where I am 
working with a small group of students on the flight control software. We 
have a web page here:

     http://www.cubesatlab.org/

and a blog here:

Both are a bit sketchy at this time but we hope to enhance them in the 
coming months. The project is looking at a 2018 launch on SLS with 
spacecraft delivery in the second half of 2017. We are in the early stages 
of development... in fact we are still gathering basic requirements. It 
should be fun!
