Educational amateur radio with LEDs and camera. |
| Description |
The satellite’s mission is an educational one. The aim is for the satellite to introduce the students to the “new-space” frontier - with a hands-on practice. The cubesat’s LEDs will flash brightly enough to be seen by an earth located telescope - as the SATLLA-2 passes across the night sky. SATLLA-2 will take low-resolution photos and will broadcast the photos over the amateur radio. SATLLA-2 will broadcast a signal over amateur radio with its position in orbit and data from its sensors (battery status, gyro, gps) SATLLA-2 will relay short messages over amateur radio with format. |
