| Headline Details: A 1U CubeSat mission.Our mission concept is CubeSat that takes photos of Earth, when in contact with a ground station, directly logs into Twitter to posts photos and mission data as Tweets. The primary mission of Silversat is education. Silversat provides educational opportunities for our student members and materials to support K-12 STEM programs worldwide. Our mission goals and objectives include promoting awareness of space exploration through educational outreach and serving as a technology demonstration. SilverSat will “Tweet from space” and transmit data, including photos, through the ground station’s connection to the Internet. By using a popular social media platform, our project helps to promote awareness of and interest in Aeronautics, Space, and Science among tweens and teens. SilverSat members will post information about CubeSat project and details about mission development and write code to allow CubeSat to take and post photos from space. All of our design documentation is available through our website and Github repositories. Silversat contributes to the advancement of the satellite service in multiple ways: 1. We create educational materials to support K-12 STEM programs 2. We sponsor and provide classes to help our student members obtain their Amateur licenses 3. Our designs are completely open-source and available to support the Amateur satellite community 4. We provide reference implementations to allow Amateur operators the ability to receive our signals, including the ability to receive the transmitted picture. 5. Our mission provides an experimental use of IP protocols over an Amateur space link thus advancing the radio art for amateur operation. Proposing a UHF downlink using 9k6 GMSK and CW. Planning a launch to the ISS on the NG-22 resupply mission in April 2025 with a deployment in May 2025.
