Headline Details: A 48kg minisatellite 500 x 450 x450 mm. The CEVROSAT1 satellite has several missions that connect science, education, and the amateur radio community, making a significant contribution to the Czech academic sector. Its primary goal is to support amateur radio activities worldwide through communication. The satellite provides features focused on technical experiments, education, and inspiration, opening new opportunities for students, educators, and space technology enthusiasts. A key objective is to enhance the educational aspect of the project. CEVRO University, as the owner, in collaboration with Mendel University in Brno, specifically its Institute of Informatics, leads the project with a focus on fostering interest in amateur radio, space technologies, and scientific research. CEVROSAT1 serves as a platform for hands- on student education, allowing them to participate in its development, operation, and data analysis. This project has the potential to contribute to the establishment of a new study program at CEVRO University, such as in space technologies or applied informatics, enriching the educational offerings with modern and forward-looking disciplines. Another mission is to support scientific research and data sharing. Equipped with two cameras, the satellite captures images of Earth and transmits them to radio amateurs worldwide. These visual data not only inspire the public but also provide valuable material for scientific analysis in fields like geography, ecology, or meteorology. The project thus enhances the scientific skills of students and researchers who can use the data for their studies and investigations. CEVROSAT1 also explores new technologies with potential for future space applications. One experiment involves testing optical technologies using a system of reflective surfaces for laser trials. This research could advance the development of sophisticated communication systems or detection methods, offering long-term benefits for science and industry. The satellite not only tests new concepts but also inspires students to explore innovations in space research. Lastly, CEVROSAT1 aims to strengthen collaboration between academia, radio amateurs, and the broader public. The project encourages young people to pursue technical and scientific fields, supports hands-on student involvement in real missions, and demonstrates how universities can contribute to society through applied research. CEVROSAT1 serves as a bridge between theoretical education and practical benefits for science, education, and technological progress, while enhancing the Czech Republic's position in international space research. CEVROSAT1 complies with provisions no. 1.56, 1.57, and 25 by supporting amateur radio activities and education as required by these regulations - it serves technical training and communication at 436.025 MHz without commercial intent. CEVRO University, as the owner, and Brno University of Technology significantly contribute to its development and operation. The satellite advances the amateur satellite service with features like a digipeater, AX.25 telemetry, and laser experiments. Radio amateurs can participate by using the digipeater, decoding Earth images, or collaborating on the mission. Proposing a UHF downlink using 9k6 G3RUH GFSK modulation with AX25. Planning a Exolaunch Falcon 9 launch from Florida in Q3 2025 into a 500 - 600 km 45 degree inclination orbit.
