TJREVERB [Thomas Jefferson High School]
The TJREVERB (Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology Research and Education Vehicle for Evaluating Radio Broadcasts) is a 2U CubeSat an education mission for students to learn all the required components of a working satellite while they create all the necessary documentation to instruct others. It will also assist the students in developing communication methodologies and teaching them to organize a large workforce while managing workflow.
The payload is a full duplex ultra high frequency (UHF) downlink and very high frequency (VHF) uplink transceiver.
It was selected in 2017 by NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) to be launched as part of the ELaNa program.
