| Description |
1. We receive Morse CW signals on 21 MHz band with the onboard SDR and decoded call signs will be sent on 430 MHz downlink. 2. We perform in-orbit test of newly developed attitude control system using dual reaction wheel mechanism. 3. We perform in-orbit test of an on-board computer system consisted of Linux base microcomputer. 4. We perform in-orbit expansion test of the 21 MHz half-wave dipole antenna for Morse CW signals reception and Jupiter’s millisecond radio bursts observation. 5. We observe Jupiter millisecond radio bursts with the expanded HF dipole antenna and on-board SDR. 6. We perform 360-degree Camera Unit test to take all-sky images with two fish-eye cameras. |
