Demonstrate a Store-and-Forward service for transmitting digital messages between ground stations.

Demonstrate a Store-and-Forward service for transmitting digital messages between ground stations. The data is stored on board and retransmitted during subsequent passes over Romania, through the two ground stations located at the Institute of Space Science - ISS (ROMANIA) Măgurele and UMC. 

The project is coordinated by the Institute of Space Science - ISS (ROMANIA) , which ensures the integration, testing and infrastructure necessary for operation; Romanian InSpace Engineering (RISE) contributes with expertise in mission analysis, mechanical, thermal and electronic design, as well as software development; RARTEL develops the radio communication systems and operational procedures; and Constanta Maritime University is responsible for the ground infrastructure and the design of the antennas and associated communication systems.
