Hi Bob,
have any idea as to what the telemetry may consist of?
And I'm assuming this will be a similar project? measure atmospheric drag?
Too bad they either wouldn't allow it, or for whatever reason the two
birds didn't have a ground user capability.
This would be a perfect test for
The satellite is made mostly of parts from Digikey.
The following processors are flying:
Pollux: 1 - Atmega168, 3 - Atmega168
Castor: 1 - LPC2106, 2 - Atmega168, IGLOO FPGA AGL125, Atmega128
Printed circuit boards from www.pcbexpress.com
When I get a chance, I'll see how much info I can release

Hi,
I'll dig out my ANDE-1 / PCSAT-2 telemetry decoding web site code and

You mean AX25 TNC?
Your local amateur radio dealer should have them or you can implement it
is software.
Free programmes are available.

OK, so presumably a standard AX25 TNC in kiss or RAW data mode and FX25
error correcting software to post process the data?
Looks as though the deployment from the shuttle didn't go ahead. They've
been doing engine burns during the past minutes.

Sorry, deployment is Thursday. A standard AX.25 TNC will work. FX.25
wraps error correction data around the packet. I'll get info on the FX25
decoder up real soon.

Looks like the deployment happens tomorrow about 17:22 UTC(Specifically
flight day 14 19:19:00 mission elapsed Time.) to allow for good radar
observations.

I suppose I should go update my APRS/PCSAT/PCSAT2/ANDE telemetry decoder
now. Wish I'd realised these were going to be this open earlier *mutter*.

The sphere is solid metal because the entire satellite is built inside the
