Headline Details: Learning Experiment (SAL-E) Mission Description: This voluntary project consists entirely of students (CubeSat Lab) at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Its primary objective is to learn by doing and self-training. Students are learning about satellites and space communication by designing, building, testing, integrating, and operating a 3U CubeSat. The mission’s secondary objective is to measure and make public LEO radiation data collected by the Computer Architecture Research Project (CARP) sensor. A tertiary objective is to monitor the 902.3 - 914.9 MHz spectrum with a receive only radio. This voluntary project consists entirely of students (CubeSat Lab) at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. One of its primary objectives is to train students in spacecraft and ground station operations. UHF amateur bands will be used for downlinking satellite housekeeping data and for receiving mission operations schedules as often as needed. It will also be used for any commands uplinked to the satellite.Proposing a UHF downlink using 9k6 FSK. Planning a SpaceX launch from Vandenberg NET November 2025 into a 510 km polar orbit.
