Clark-sat 1 [Clark Memorial International High School]
The Clark-sat 1 1U Cubesat satellite is an educational project of students at the Clark Memorial International High School in Japan. As of November 30 approximately 50 students have been involved in the project and a number have an amateur radio license.
The satellite will carry out these missions:
- Optical Camera Mission: Take photos of the Earth and will downlink them in the 435 MHz band (GMSK, 4,800 bps).
- Digi-talker Mission: Downlink 40 to 120 seconds long Digi-talker NBFM signal (Voice message or SSTV pictures in Robot 36 format recorded before launch) including the call sign and school name. communications.
The satellite was launched on board of Dragon CRS-29 to the ISS, where it was deployed later.
