The mission objectives for the Michigan Multipurpose Minisatellite (M-Cubed) is to capture mid-resolution images of the Earth from Low Earth Orbit, perform a technology demonstration for a novel new Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and train the next generation of Aerospace Engineers.
Data send and received from onboard M-Cubed to the ground station using a 144 MHz uplink and a 430 MHz downlink, amateur radio bands will be used to control and receive data from the satellite. A basic beacon signal containing satellite health data will be transmitted intermittently throughout operations. Data and commands will be transmitted using the AstroDev Lithium 1 radio.
