Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: For use of the communication systems of the satellite (cubesat). Iridium 9602 modem for two way of communication, UHF transmitter for downlink and UHF receiver for uplink.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Operation of a cubesat to measure radiation exposure in graphen material and two-way communications with Iridium satellite constellation. The Lambdasat is a cubesat which demonstrates a science experiment which measures the radiation exposure in the graphene material, the two way communications with the Iridium modem constellation by using the Iridium 9602 SBD modem, one UHF transmitter and one UHF receiver. Also, the satellite is capable for locating and tracking the vessels around the globe by using the AIS signals.
