The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) project is an Earth-orbiting CubeSat mission designed to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band using a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUSP will enable the study of magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration within the Sun's flaring magnetic structures. This project is being developed within the framework of the Italian Space Agency's Alcor Program, which aims to foster new CubeSat missions. CUSP entered its Phase B in December 2024, a phase scheduled to last 12 months. This paper reports on the current status of the CUSP mission design, mission analysis, and payload scientific performance.
