SPIRONE Spacecraft

IR camera array and transponder.

1. Using an IR camera array, it detects marine plastic and takes pictures. (Secondary mission). Globally, marine plastic has become an issue that can no longer be ignored. SPIRONE will be able to contribute to the understanding of garbage distribution for the collection of marine plastic. And the data collected by satellite will be helpful in cleaning up marine debris.
2. The satellite will act as a transponder, receiving signals from the ground station and transmitting them via the S-band. SPIRONE broadcast beacon signals modulated by GMSK on UHF. It can be used for amateur radio communication training.
