Signal modulation and encoding: Manolito will be using the same radio we used in El Capitán Beto, an AstroDev Li-1. Manolito (CubeBug-2) will broadcast messages periodically, similar to what El Capitan Beto did (CubeBug-1), but with a different format, periodicity and content. This TLE is good for planning passes and it’ll be also good for the initial tracking.

The satellite will be periodically transmitting AX.25 packets for the Amateur radio community to receive, and after the technology demonstration part of the mission is over, the satellite will enter a mode that will include a Digipeater, science data downloads from the payload (including images and recordings from the SDR, if possible).

This project is sponsored by the Argentinian Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation.Īs payload on this second mission, some custom designed components will be tested: an antenna, solar panels, and an on-board computer, a camera, a GPS transceiver and a software defined radio based on COTS components.


It will carry an amateur radio AX.25 packet radio digipeater CubeBug-2 is the second technology demonstration mission for a new 2U CubeSat platform design (mechanics, hardware and software) intended to be released as Open Source and Open Hardware for its use in Amateur projects, University projects and Research labs.
