[amsat-bb] ORI Transponder Design Review 30 July 2020

[Michelle Thompson]

Greetings all!

A design review workshop has been scheduled for 7am Pacific 30 July 2020
for the 6U digital multiplexing transponder from Open Research Institute.
This work is made available for free to the general public and assumes
AMSAT as the primary audience and beneficiary.

The design is the same as one in progress for AREx (AMSAT/ARISS USA). The
design review will be of direct benefit to AREx and meets their
requirements.

The design is under consideration for other missions.

If you would like to participate in the design review workshop, then please
write me at w5nyv at arrl.net for a Zoom invite.

The communications functions and circuits are the focus of this review.
