| Headline Details: A 1U CubeSat mission. As a result of the success of the Aztechsat-1 mission, UPAEP, in conjunction with FMRE, has taken on the task of designing new experiments to continue with the objectives of this project, now with more specific and relevant purposes, not only for Mexican amateur radio, but also for the international amateur radio community. This project consists of the development of the Gxiba-1 nanosatellite, which will be equipped as an I-Gate node thanks to its connection with the satellite internet system. This will provide radio amateurs with an APRS internet access point from anywhere in the world, thus enabling everything from emergency traffic to communications with expeditions and local systems. By developing this project, we promote fundamental axes in the training and use of radio amateurs, such as: I.Promoting amateur radio among young people: Following one of the fundamental axes of the IARU, we take advantage of the higher level academic environment where this project is developed, facilitating the approach of young people to the world of amateur radio in satellite matters, guided by radio amateurs with experience in various areas. II.Improve and expand the coverage of the APRS system: Not only in Mexico, but also worldwide, achieving coverage in remote sites and supporting the communications of expedition teams such as IOTA or SOTA III.Encourage the participation of Mexican radio amateurs: We encourage satellite communications and the generation of learning networks through the exchange of knowledge between radio amateurs and other higher level institutions (such as UNAM, Panamericana and Aeroespacial de Querétaro, among others). IV. Evaluate the feasibility of implementing an internet access point (I-Gate) on a satellite: Comparing the quality of internet service provided by the Iridium system. This objective involves using I-Gate to measure and compare the quality of internet service between both satellite networks. V. Monitor volcanic emissions: The satellite will be equipped with imaging equipment that will be used to measure volcanic emissions. Through internal processing, the amount of volcanic waste emitted will be evaluated and the results will be sent through telemetry beacons, helping the authorities in the surveillance and evaluation of the risk to the health of the population. Proposing a 9k6 GFSK downlink using AX100 mode 5. Planning a JAXA deployment from the ISS in June 2025. More info at https://upaep.mx/gxiba | ||||
