Headline Details: The SamSat-Ionosphere 3U spacecraft is a small satellite designed to perform educational tasks in the field of radio communications and research on the Earth’s ionosphere. The payload consists of three scientific instruments. These include a plasma parameter sensor, a navigation signal receiver, and a remote magnetometer. The plasma parameter sensor was designed to measure the concentration of ionospheric plasma and to study its frequency and spatial fluctuations. The navigation signal receiver is designed to provide spatial and temporal reference for telemetry and scientific information. For regular monitoring of the near-Earth space environment in real time and forecasting its state, in addition to the plasma parameter sensor, a high-precision magnetometer MMC5883MA is installed on a remote rod, which allows magnetometric measurements to be linked to contact measurements of the ionosphere.The SamSat-Ionosphere spacecraft is intended for educational, self-study, and technical research purposes conducted by radio amateurs. Radio amateurs will be able to track the spacecraft and receive telemetry and payload information. Anyone interested will be able to participate in the planned transmissions. It is also possible to transmit text, telemetry, and payload data at any time and at any point during the satellite's flight, by agreement. In case of successful reception, the mission team will assist in decoding and interpreting the received signal. Proposing a UHF downlink using 1k2 FSK. Planning a Roscosmos launch from Vostochiny Cosmodrome in November 2024 into a 500 km SSO. **A downlink on 437.150 MHz has been coordinated** | ||||
