“Janus” Experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of
using cosmic radiation to improve the security of communications
satellites and to flight test lower cost electronic
systems

The PSAT Project
(ParkinsonSAT) has been developed by students at the
US Naval Academy Satellite Lab as a two-way communications
transponder system that could be used to relay data
from remote terminals to a global network of internet
linked ground stations. The PSAT-1 satellite hosts an
AX.25 Packet Radio Relay system based on the Automatic
Packet Reporting System using the standard VHF 145.825
MHz frequency for up and downlink. PSAT-1 is based on
the 1.5U form factor using solar cells for power generation
and a 10-Watt-hour battery. In addition to the APRS
system, the PSAT spacecraft is equipped with a PSK31
transponder that allows multi-user access to the satellite.
This text messaging transponder can allow messaging
between 30 ground stations simultaneously. The PSK31
uplink for PSat-A is at 28.120MHz (SSB), the corresponding
downlink is at 435.350MHz (FM with PSK31 subcarriers)

LAPAN-A2 satellite
was launched together with AstroSat by an Indian PSLV-C30
rocket into a 650km high orbit with an inclination of
6 to 8 degree. Thus it crosses the territory of Indonesia
14 times a day.
LAPAN A2, also known
as LAPAN-ORARI, is an indonesian microsatellite with
a weight of 74 kg. It is a successor of LAPAN-Tubsat
and the structure
and many subsystems are the same as in its sister satellite
LAPAN A3.
It carries an AIS (Automatic Identification System)
to identify the ships in the waters of Indonesia and
a video camera with a range three times wider than the
Lapan-Tubsat. It also carries a payload for disaster
management by amateur radio communication.
The Earth observation
payload of LAPAN A2 consists of a Video camera (Kappa
PAL) for 80 km width ground coverage and a Video camera
(Kappa HDTV) for high resolution satellite color video
observation with a ground resolution of 6 m and a ground
coverage of 11 × 6 km per video frame.
LAPAN-A2 carries
a payload of voice repeaters and an APRS repeater on
145.825 MHz for communications of the Organisation for
Amateur Radio Indonesia (ORARI) during
a disaster. The APRS repeater is using the callsign
YBOX-1.
The S-Band downlink
at 2220 MHz provides the video signal a data rate of
5 Mbps. The UHF downlink is at 437.425 MHz and provides
TT&C (telemetry tracking and command) functions
at a data rate of 1200bd. The command uplink is also
in the UHF band. |

The Argentinian
earth observation satellite ÑuSat-1 was launched
on a CZ-4B rocket from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center
in China on May 30th 2016 at 03:17 UTC into a 500 km sun-synchronous
orbit with an inclination of 97.5 degrees and a Local
Time of the Ascending Node (LTAN) of 10:30. This first satellite
of a constellation of 25 has the dimensions of 40 cm
× 43 cm × 75 cm and a mass of 37 kg. The
spacecraft is equipped with an imaging system operating
in visible light and infrared. The constellation will
allow for commercially available real-time Earth imaging
and video with a ground resolution of 1 m. The satellite
was developed based on the experience gained on the
BugSat 1 (Tita) prototype satellite. An S/X transponder
with 2 W of output power for 8 GHz downlink and 2 GHz
uplink will be operating on 100 kHz bandwidth. For backup
telemetry, designers are considering an UHF transponder
operating at 9k6 GFSK.
ÑuSat-1, also
called LUSEX-OSCAR 87 (LO-87), carries a linear transponder
built by AMSAT Argentina. The
inverting U/V transponder, named LUSEX (LU satellite
experiment), has an uplink of 435.935 MHz to 435.965
MHz and a downlink of 145.935
MHz to 145.965 MHz. Total power output is 250 mW. There
is also a CW beacon at 145.900 MHz with a power output
of 70 mW. NuSat-1 also features a GFSK telemetry beacon
at 436.445 MHz. |

already on board and the results are sent over a special
modem as an “SMS”. Besides an optical laser downlink
it features also an UHF/S-Band downlink. The UHF downlink
operates at 437.525 MHz, mode 4800 bps

CAMSAT CAS-2 series amateur radio satellites. Developed
by middle school students with the support of China's
Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, the Science and
Technology Museum, and the Eastern Highlands Qian Youth
Space Sciences Organization, the 2U CubeSat carries
a ham radio 145/435 MHz FM transponder. CAS-2T was
intentionally not separated from the final stage of
rocket CZ-11(Y2).
The
final stage was originally expected to be in orbit for
up to 30 days before re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere
but reports indicate the orbit is 504 x 1030 km which
could give an orbital lifetime of several years.

BY70-1
#41909
(2016-083C) |
BY70-1 (Bayi kepu weixing
01 xing) is a Chinese satellite which was developed
by high school students at the PLA-related Bejing Bayi
School. It was launched on December 28th
2016 at 03:23 UTC from Taiyuan launch center on a Long
March 2D launch vehicle. Unfortunately the launch was
not successful and thus BY70-1 did not reach the target
circular orbit with an altitude of 520 km. Instead the
satellite is an elliptical orbit with an apogee of 524km
and a perigee of 213km. Thus the lifetime of the satellite
will be very limited.
BY70-1 carries an FM transponder
with the uplink frequency of 145.929 MHz and the downlink
frequency of 436.200 MHz. A CTCSS tone with 67 Hz has
to be used. There seems to be a delay of the downlink
versus uplink of up to 0.5 seconds.
In addition BY70-1 also feature a
9k6 telemetry downlink on 436.200 MHz sending packet
bursts every 30 seconds.
BY70-1 decayed on February 18th
2017. |
