| Headline Details: The 2U Cubesat mission involves an amateur component and a science / education component: Amateur mission: the digipeater functionality will allow Amateurs to transmit packets of their own data to the satellite, which will be stored and re-transmitted by the satellite at a time of their choosing. This store and forward capability will allow amateurs to transmit packets from their location to any location in the world. Also, we will utilize the TinyGS open-source ground station network, ensuring widespread accessibility for amateur operators worldwide. Science / Education mission: Operate a proof-of-concept quantum gyroscope experiment developed by students at UC Berkeley. This will test use of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV-) center diamonds in the conditions of low-earth orbit. A gyroscope like this may provide better accuracy and less noise than a MEMS gyroscope, while being more resistant to temperature and radiation degradation. Also, the size of the gyroscope is limited only by the size of a laser and RF signal generator, and so can be made smaller than other gyros based on other technologies. Proposing a UHF LoRa downlink with a 1025 baud data rate. Planning a Voyager Space launch from Wallops in April 2026 to the ISS. Flying with Coconut, LEOPARDSat-1, TumbleWeed, Proves: (Alcyone, Atlas, Electra, Maia, Taygeta), OreSat-1, HUCSat. More info at https://qubesatellite.com/ | ||||
