When e-mail put in Leicester/ Cubesat in title.

LEO – about 400km, general gravitational Doppler shift (not relativistic), 18,000mph.

Doppler shift – worse high frequency (Maybe use about 145MHz, 436MHz*)
• 436MHz best sort of frequency

Downlink 2.4Ghz – technical problems using higher frequency.

Burst of Morse code data – keeping beacon on may cause problems due to power restraints. Command on/off, program when to come on/off – e.g. after 6 orbits send data down.

Typical LEO – 84% passage of 30˚ above the horizon or less. No problems with water, leaves at the frequency using.
Japanese Cubesat – send down on command, CW beacon – Morse code
Quakesat – (research)

Packet radio – use equipment at NSC!!!
Licensing who needs? – easy to obtain, not a problem. International arrangement of frequency allocation - amateur radio band.

Look into National Lottery funding.

Link budgets

Antenna – “tape” measure deployment may be useful!? (Look into more)

Amsat convention every year – Surrey University

Comms system
Tranceiver (transmitter, receiver) – use NSC
Modulator (frequency modulates wave form, can use morse code, bandwidth 5kHz, freq. channels 12.5kHz wide.)
TNC (modem, TX) Bell 202 codes, audio freq shift keying AFSK.
Command receiver – on board data handling

Other
Oscar 1 – satellite, constraints, American airforce launch (Look into more)

Hi resolution pics -> 9K6? 38K5?

Cubesat could be good tool for teaching at schools as could easily set up equipment to receiver equipment, portable.

In general, the designs of Prada handbags are understated yet of high class. The ingenious Prada designers are very good at adding small adornment to turn a simple prada handbags design into a sparkling fashion icon. Pleats, drapes, sequins, beads, tassels and buckles are perfectly used to make them a chic, shiny sheen and innovative appearance. prada handbags on sale In 1906, a leather craftsman named Guccio Gucci founded the House of Gucci, a saddlery shop in Florence, Italy where Gucci sold genuine, handcrafted leather goods. Today, Gucci is also the designer of an extensive line of perfumes, colognes, cosmetics, shoes, the "Flora" foulard created for Grace Kelly by Rodolfo Gucci, suitcases, watches, jewelry, silk scarves, eyeglasses and much more. Gucci's most famous handbags include the Gucci Bardot Bag This timeless, sophisticated bag is constructed of jacquard material with the famous "GG" logo pattern, in typically white/black or beige/dark brown color combinations, and trimmed in leather with silver hardware.
