ROM 2, 3 (Space Sparrow)

ROM 2 [RomSpace]

ROM 2 is a picosatellite developed by RomSpace from the International Computing High School of Bucharest. It is built to the 1P PocketQube form factor.

The ROM-2 satellite has the following three missions and objectives:

  • Primary mission is a DIGITAL REPEATER. ROM-2 will act as a digital amateur radio repeater. Amateur operators will be able to upload a message to the satellite and it will transmit it to the ground once.
  • Secondary mission is SSDV Image Transmission. ROM-2 will transmit a low-resolution SSDV image in GFSK Mode.
  • Tertiary mission is CW BEACON Transmission. The satellite will send a Morse Code identification. This will help amateur radio operators to 1) detect the presence of the satellite and 2) measure basic properties of the signals: strength, fading (spin), doppler (speed), etc.
