[amsat-bb] D-Star cubesat

[g0mrf@aol.com]

Following the small satellite developers workshop in April there are a number of interesting papers available online.

A cubesat using D-Star which has been selected for launch on the Vega launcher is certainly an eye catching project.

Personally, my favourite so far is the 1U propulsion system capable of propelling a 3U cubesat with a delta V of 400 metres per second. ( This is enough to go from 600km to about 1900km altitude !)

Have fun reading...
