Description	The three ERMINAZ-2U, -2V and -2X PocketQubes will be deployed from UARX OSSIE mission on SpaceX Transporter-14 using a PocketQube-Deployer provided by the Libre Space Foundation (Greece) into a 500x600km polar orbit. All three PocketQubes are identical to ERMINAZ-1 design. The mission is to promote, advance and develop knowledge about space and amateur radio. They will transmit telemetry and science data, images and a digipeat functionally to all radio amateurs worldwide. ERMINAZ-2U will operate in the UHF amateur satellite band, while both ERMINAZ-2V and -2X will operate in the VHF amateur satellite band. Only non-proprietary, open source and documented protocols, accessible to radio amateurs, will be used. This includes CCSDS telemetry, CW beacon, SSDV images, digipeater, AX.25 und possibly other modes. Telemetry and science data from radiation sensors and triaxial accelerometers / gyroscopes / magnetometers will allow any radio amateur to participate by extending his knowledge about space. In addition, a digipeater and store & forward function will allow licensed radio amateurs to use ERMINAZ-2U, -2V and -2X as a relay to communicate with other radio amateurs worldwide. The mission will conduct several experiments with different types of modulations, bandwidths, data rates and framing schemes: GFSK, GMSK, BPSK with data rate from 600 bit/s up to 19200 bit/s. Frames will using three different framing schemes configurable upon the mission requirements: CCSDS (residual or suppressed carrier) IEEE 802.15.4 (preamble, sync) CW ID (with amateur radio callsign)
