Description of Research Project

The Dove 2 mission is an internal company technology demonstration experiment to test the
capabilities of a low-cost spacecraft constrained to the 3U cubesat form factor to host a small
payload.

Dove 2 will do this by transmitting health and payload data to the ground. The payload data
consists of image data taken from an on board nadir pointing camera. The images will be
downlinked over the ISM frequency band at 2.4 GHz and the earth observation frequency
band at 8.3 GHz.

The dimensions of the spacecraft are consistent with CubeSat and P-POD standards. It is a
single unit with the dimensions of 10 cm X 10 cm X 33 cm. The total mass is about 5.5kg.

One important metric of mission success is the ability to build a solar panel/battery/power
distribution system that will last for years in orbit, so the mission duration will be 2 years.
