| Headline Details: The mission aims to demonstrate the capabilities of a 3U CubeSat to: 1. Observe and measure solar radiation, and 2. Capture and transmit non-sensitive images using Slow Scan Television (SSTV) along with beacon signals. This is a non-commercial, technology demonstration mission designed to validate and showcase these payload functionalities. 1. Mission Compliance: The CubeSat mission complies with IARU provisions 1.56, 1.57, and 25 by using amateur frequencies for non-commercial purposes, keeping amateur and other mission subsystems separate, and ensuring no interference with other services. 2. Advancement of Amateur Satellite Service: The mission demonstrates small satellite technology for solar radiation observation, promoting amateur satellite use for scientific research, and fostering global participation through open data sharing. This mission will have an amateur FM transponder for amateur radio operators. 3. Educational Impact: The satellite will serve as an educational tool, offering opportunities for amateur operators to engage with space technology and contribute to real-time mission monitoring and data analysis. 4. Global Amateur Participation: Amateur radio operators worldwide can track the satellite, decode its telemetry, and assist with mission success by providing feedback, contributing to satellite health monitoring, and participating in propagation studies. The FM Repeater can be used by amateur radio operators globally to establish two-way contacts. 5. Data Accessibility: The CubeSat will broadcast a beacon signal and telemetry data that amateur operators can receive, decode, and analyze, actively engaging them in the mission beyond just receiving information.
