How to decode E1P-U2 CubeSat !

1- create a pair of com port using Virtual Serial Port Emulator (VSPE)
eg PORT6=port7.





2- Setup MixW Mode as following



3- Setup MixW TNC Emulation as following





4-Downloading and Installing E-1P Telemetry Decoder:

1) Download the E-1P Telemetry Decoder program here: E-1P Telemetry Decoder2) Double click E1P Telemetry Decoder.msi to start the Windows install wizard.
a. Click Next to start the wizard
b. The default install folder is: C:\Program Files\MSU\E1p Telemetry Decoder\ Click Next to confirm installation folder
c. Click Next to start installation*
d. Click Close to finish
3) The E1P Telemetry Decoder program is now installed here: C:\Program Files\MSU\E1p Telemetry Decoder\E1P Telemetry Decoder.exe
4) A desktop shortcut is automatically created.

Successful launch of NPP/DELTA-II with cubesats

Friday, October 28th, 2011 by DK3WN

09:48 UTC Liftoff the Delta 2 with NPP – the world’s next-generation weather watcher heads to space
10:47 UTC NPP spacecraft has been released from the Delta 2 rocket’s second stage

11:26 UTC Confirmed deployment of P-POD-1 with AubieSat-1, Explorer-1 Prime and M-Cubed/COVE
11:28 UTC Confirmed deployment of P-POD-2 with RAX-2
11:30 UTC Confirmed deployment of P-POD-3. This P-POD contains the two-satellite DICE CubeSats (downlink at 465 MHz)




AubieSat 1 was made by Auburn University undergraduate students to study radio wave propagation through the ionosphere and test
protective films for solar panels.
Explorer 1 (Prime) Unit 2 from Montana State University also plans to probe space weather by monitoring trapped electrons in the horns of the radiation belts. It is named for America’s first satellite in space.
M-Cubed — the Michigan Multipurpose Minisat — comes from the University of Michigan to image the Earth and demonstrate the craft’s design for use by future projects.
The Radio Aurora Explorer 2, also from the University of Michigan, will study the microphysics that lead to plasma conditions that disrupt satellite communications.
The DICE (Dynamic Ionosphere CubeSat Experiment) will obtain electric field and electron density measurements for space weather research. The mission partners include Utah State, Clemson, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the Atmospheric and Space Technology Research Associates.

CubeSat ELaNa III Launch on NPP Mission


NASA will launch small research satellites, or CubeSats, for four universities. This will be the third installment of the Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions. The CubeSats are manifested as auxiliary payloads on the Delta II launch vehicle for NASA’s NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) mission,
