Measure ionospheric structure and plasma irregularities for radio communications monitoring. Compact ionosphere probe.

Description

Measure the ionosphere activity which will affect satellite and terrestrial communication. Follow-up and form a constellation with INSPIRESat-1 to measure ionospheric structure and plasma irregularities for radio communications monitoring.
Ionospheric measurements, which will advance our understanding of ionosphere dynamics and plasma transport. Establish a long-term academic program for developing a constellation of small satellites and a global network of ground stations. INSPIRE aims to provide a university constellation of Earth & space weather observing satellites.  

Failure cause Some UHF transceiver issues and partial solar panel deployment.
