Curium One Satellite tv for pc Set to Check SatNOGS-COMMS Transceiver
The upcoming launch of the Ariane 6 rocket will carry the Curium One satellite tv for pc, a 12-unit CubeSat developed collaboratively by Planetary Transportation Techniques and the Libre House Basis. A major focus of this mission is the in-orbit testing of the SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver, an open-source radio designed to boost satellite tv for pc communication capabilities. This mission goals to validate the efficiency of the SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver, a dual-band, software-configurable radio transceiver particularly created for Telemetry and Telecommand (TMTC).
The SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver is notable for its dual-band operation within the UHF and SHF bands. It may accommodate a turnstile antenna, which facilitates each transmitting and receiving radio indicators. The transceiver’s software-configurable nature permits for in-flight changes to service and intermediate frequencies, bitrate, modulation choices, and channel-filter bandwidth, making it extremely versatile for numerous experimental and academic setups. This flexibility is anticipated to be a major asset within the mission’s success.
Curium One’s mission represents the primary in-orbit demonstration of the SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver. This testing is essential for verifying the transceiver’s efficiency in area and can present invaluable information for future missions. The success of this check may even validate the design and performance of the SatNOGS-COMMS board, which is absolutely appropriate with the intensive SatNOGS Community comprising over 200 floor stations worldwide. IARU Newbie Satellite tv for pc Frequency Coordination continues to be pending for Curium One after a Libre House Basis software was submitted on June twenty third.
One of many standout options of the SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver is its open-source nature. By making the {hardware} and software program publicly accessible, the Libre House Basis goals to foster a collaborative setting the place newbie radio operators, college students, and area lovers can contribute to and profit from the know-how. This method not solely democratizes entry to superior area communication know-how but in addition accelerates innovation and studying throughout the neighborhood. This mission may set a precedent for future open-source area applied sciences. The GitLab repository for the SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver may be discovered at https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/satnogs-comms.
The verification of SatNOGS-COMMS onboard Curium One will provide essential data for the Libre House Basis’s upcoming PHASMA mission and different future initiatives. For Planetary Transportation Techniques, this mission marks the primary in-orbit validation of their satellite tv for pc design, which is a major milestone for the corporate’s future endeavors in area know-how growth. This mission represents an important step of their strategic roadmap.
Curium One’s mission highlights the potential of open-source satellite tv for pc know-how. By selling newbie radio and offering academic alternatives in area know-how, this mission goals to create space extra accessible and inexpensive for everybody. The info and insights from testing the SatNOGS-COMMS transceiver will help extra inclusive and progressive makes use of of area, setting a brand new customary for collaborative area missions. This mission reveals the affect of collaboration and open-source innovation in advancing area exploration and know-how.

SpaceX Falcon Heavy Efficiently Launches GOES-U Satellite tv for pc
On June 25, a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket efficiently lifted off from Kennedy House Middle’s Launch Advanced 39A at 5:26 p.m. Japanese, carrying the GOES-U climate satellite tv for pc, the ultimate spacecraft in a sequence of geostationary climate satellites. This launch featured a number of notable firsts, overcoming earlier climate forecasts that had predicted solely a 30% likelihood of favorable situations.
The GOES-U satellite tv for pc, efficiently deployed from the Falcon Heavy’s second stage 4 and a half hours after liftoff, after the stage accomplished a sequence of three burns to put the satellite tv for pc right into a geostationary switch orbit. Constructed by Lockheed Martin for the Nationwide Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), GOES-U shall be renamed GOES-19 upon reaching geostationary orbit. After on-orbit commissioning, it is going to be positioned at 75 levels east in geostationary orbit, taking up from GOES-16 because the operational GOES-East satellite tv for pc.
GOES-U carries a set of earth and area science devices much like its predecessors however consists of the brand new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR) instrument for photo voltaic commentary. CCOR will monitor the photo voltaic corona for flares and coronal mass ejections, an important operate for understanding area climate. This position was beforehand crammed by the almost 30-year-old Photo voltaic and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft.
The GOES-R sequence, which started with a launch in 2016, has considerably improved climate forecasting. Ken Graham, director of the Nationwide Climate Service, said at a pre-launch briefing, “The GOES-R sequence of satellites, it’s been a gamechanger for us.” The satellites have enabled new and improved forecasts, warnings, and providers that assist save lives and shield property.
Among the many enhancements within the GOES-R sequence is a lightning mapper. Pam Sullivan, director of the GOES-R program at NOAA, highlighted its affect, saying it permits meteorologists to raised perceive storm severity and concern extra correct warnings. “The primary factor I hear from forecasters is that they’ve extra confidence in a forecast,” she famous.
NOAA is already planning the following technology of geostationary climate satellites, known as GeoXO, set to start launching in 2032. Contracts have been awarded to Lockheed Martin for satellite tv for pc development and BAE Techniques for sounder and ocean shade devices. Steve Volz, assistant administrator of NOAA’s Satellite tv for pc and Data Service, described GOES-U as “the bridge that connects right now’s geostationary satellite tv for pc know-how with the know-how of tomorrow.”
The launch was marked by the synchronized landings of the 2 Falcon Heavy facet boosters at Touchdown Zones 1 and a pair of at Cape Canaveral House Pressure Station. This mission was additionally the primary time NOAA launched a GOES climate satellite tv for pc on a SpaceX rocket. The three earlier GOES-R satellites launched on Atlas 5 rockets from United Launch Alliance (ULA), however SpaceX was awarded the $152.5 million contract for the GOES-U launch in September 2021 after ULA withdrew resulting from a scarcity of obtainable Atlas rockets.
The Falcon Heavy’s further efficiency is a key benefit. Julianna Scheiman, director of NASA science missions at SpaceX, defined that the rocket’s functionality permits for a major delta V discount, which means the spacecraft requires much less power to achieve its last orbit. This effectivity interprets into gas financial savings and prolonged operational life for GOES-U, which has a design specification of 15 years. “With the added functionality Falcon Heavy is giving us, we anticipate to be at 20-plus years of gas life,” mentioned NOAA’s Sullivan.
The GOES-U launch marked the tenth total for the Falcon Heavy and the second contracted by NASA, following the Psyche asteroid mission in October 2023. One other Falcon Heavy is about to launch NASA’s Europa Clipper mission this October, persevering with SpaceX’s position in advancing area exploration and climate monitoring capabilities.
