| Headline Details: CubeBug-2 is the second technology demonstration mission for a new 2U cubesat platform design (mechanics, hardware and software) intended to be released as Open Source and Open Hardware for its use in Amateur projects, University projects and research labs. This project is sponsored by the Argentinian Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation. As payload on this second mission, some custom designed components will be tested: an antenna, solar panels, and an on-board computer, a camera, a GPS transceiver and a software defined radio based on COTS components. CubeBug-2 is expected to be launched as part of a group of cubesats in a DNEPR rocket launch planned for November 2013 from Yasny. The satellite will be periodically transmitting AX.25 packets for the Amateur radio community to receive, and after the technology demonstration part of the mission is over, the satellite will enter a mode that will include a Digipeter, science data downloads from the payload (including images and recordings from the SDR, if possible), etc. Proposing to use 1k2/9k6 FSK/GMSK AX25 on UHF with an AstroDev L1 transceiver.** A frequency of 437.445MHz, the same as being used by CubeBug-1, has been coordinated** | ||||
