Demonstrate propusion system and maneuvers in space plus APRS transponder. |
| Description |
Primary objectives are to integrate a miniature size propulsion system into a 1.5U CubeSat and perform three maneuvers in space: de-tumbling, pointing control, and delta-V. Secondary objective is to expand APRS network. APRS constellation transponder with downlink on 437.975MHz and with uplink on 145.825MHz 1k2 and 9k6 AX25 - PSK31 Xponder with 28.120 MHz uplink and UHF FM downlink on 435.350 MHz |
| Failure cause | Negative power budget prohibited consistent communication. |
