FM repeater and improved from the GENESIS missions. |
| Description |
Details of the evolutions planned for the URESAT satellite are based on the experience of the previous GENESIS missions. Although the final functionalities must be approved by the URE itself, it is expected that said satellite will incorporate an FM voice repeater, FSK transmissions and some type of on-board experiment, which could be a camera with SSDV transmissions or some type of propellant. URESAT (HADES-B ITU designation) is a 1.5 P Pocketqube mission which will offer licensed radio-amateur around the world the opportunity to relay FM voice and AX.25 / APRS 300/1200 bps communications. This will be achieved by implementing a SDR based FM and FSK repeater. |
