CUTE 1 [LSS]
The CUTE 1 (Cubical TITech Engineering Satellite) will conduct the following three missions.
- Communication Mission
- Continuous transmission of CW-Telemetry by CW-transmitter (As a beacon)
- Transmittion of FM-Telemetry including payload data by two different protocols
- Ax.25 protocol
- SRLL(Simple Radio Link Layer) protocol
- Change the two communication protocols by uplink command from ground station
Sensing Mission
CUTE-I has some various sensors: thermometers, accelerometers, gyros and sun sensor, and so on. Measuring temperature, acceleration, and angular velocity of CUTE-I on orbit, we will obtain the satellite condition data in space environment. - Deployment Mission
CUTE-I has a deployable solar cell paddle that can be deployed by a command uplink to verify whether or not the deployment mechanism operate well in the space.
CUTE 1.7 is a follow-on model to precede the more sophisticated CUTE 2.
