KN-SAT1 Prototype Subsystems Design and Testing

The KN-SAT1 CubeSat, which will have a VHF downlink, is being developed at the University Of Khartoum.

Mahmoud Esawi has made available a video which shows KN-SAT1 Prototype2 subsystems design and testing.

Prototype 2 has a variety of functions:
• Send it’s location received from the GPS receiver.
• Taking a picture and send it back to earth using AX.25 protocol.
• Receive Tele-commands from earth to be executed, like:
• Restart the subsystems.

In this Service, you can write messages onto PRISM’s on-board memory via FM packets uplink.
Also you can command PRISM to downlink the stored messages in FM packets. Thus, PRISM can be used as a kind of message box. Also, you can evaluate FM packets performance of your ground station designed for amateur radio satellites.
The followings are three commands you can use:

• Information Command : Read latest ID of written messages.
• Write Command : Store your message into PRISM.
• Read Command : Read a message of designated ID.
