Educational mission to study radiation effects and a small camera to measure cloud coverage. |
| Description |
RADSAT-SK2 has the primary goal of training highly qualified personnel by providing students with training in applied technical and project management skills outside of what they would learn in a classroom. RADSAT-SK2 will provide amateur radio services in the form of a beacon and digipeater. These services not only serve the amateur community, but are also a critical part of establishing first contact. The project will allow the students to conduct scientific experiments using onboard payloads. The primary payload will study radiation effects on electronics and investigate ways to mitigate their effects. A secondary payload will perform climate science by making cloud coverage measurements using a small camera. These payloads are designed to enhance the student learning opportunities made available by participation in this project. Finally, the project will provide community outreach to raise awareness of the space industry in Canada. |
| Results |
Late 2023 - no contact with RADSAT-SK yet. Sill trying to talk with RADSAT-SK. |
| Notes |
One of 9 winners of the 2023 CUBICS Canadian CubeSat Project. |
