Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for an experiment with optical tracking of objects in space.

Description

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for an experiment with optical tracking of objects in space.

It carries on board for the first-time batteries made by the Israeli company Epsilor that will provide it with energy for its entire life in orbit.

Its main mission will be to communicate with the new optical ground station set up on the roof of the Shenkar Physics Building on the TAU campus.

In addition, the satellite includes an S-band transmitter aimed at demonstrating a novel communication protocol, suggested by TAU, in various signal-to-noise regimes.
