[amsat-bb] Secondary mission ideas

[Wendy and Terry Osborne]

Here are a couple of ideas.
1) A Funcube type transponder but with an L-Band Uplink.
This would give an easily decoded telemetry downlink for STEM demos etc.
This combined with an L-Band uplink would give a linear transponder to 
complement the
FM transponder on AO-92.

2) An on board camera that could be aimed at the earth and store the 
resulting picture.
The camera could be triggered by a command station(s) and downloaded (in jpg 
format?)
when the transponder was in high power telemetry mode.
This would be a great educational tool.

I just had a super call with a university program flying a mission using
SDRs. We talked about licensing and coordination issues, and discussed ideas
for a secondary two-way mission that they want to do.



What would you like to see, repeater, transponder, BBS, digital voice,
digipeater? Downlink would be on 2m, and would probably be limited to
20-25khz wide. Other ideas? Something new and different? Let's have a
civilized discussion about what they could try, as they seem to be an eager
and capable bunch.
