Headline Details: Irvine01 is a 1U CubeSat built by a team of students from five high schools, with guidance from universities and industry experts. The Irvine01 mission is an educational mission that gives high school students the experience of building, testing, and controlling a nanosatellite, with the aim of developing interest and talent in the engineering field. It consists of the following subsystems: 1) Power – solar panels will generate power, which will be stored in a battery. 2) Propulsion – Magnetorquers and an electric thruster will be used to adjust the orbit of the space station 3) Camera – the camera will be used to take 3 MP pictures of bright stars and the moon, which will be sent back to the ground station for analysis. 4) Communications – The radio will allow for two-way communication between the ground station and the space station. Commands will be sent from the ground station to the space station, while telemetry data and pictures will be sent from the space station to the ground station. In addition, there will be an experimental UV-LED optical communications for one way communication from the space station to the ground station. Requesting coordination for 9k6 FSK with AX25 and a CW preamble at UHF. Planning a Dnepr launch from Yasny into a 600x650km polar orbit launching in second quarter 2017. ** A downlink on 437.800 MHz has been coordinated** **Now reported to be manifested on an Electron launch from New Zealand late June 2018**
Application Date: 27 Apr 2016   Freq coordination completed on 31 May 2016
