[amsat-bb] Secondary mission ideas

[Scott]

Thanks for the info!

It might be helpful to know a few things:

-what is the expected duration of the mission?

(extreme short-term might make SSTV or FM/voice more attractive)

-what is the expected orbit?

(satellites that are only in-range of a small number of operators should 
carry whatever is most useful to that group)

-is more than one capability possible?

(we're seeing some recent satellites with the capability of multiple 
downlinks or the ability to switch between various modes)


Thanks!

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.
