Ireland's First Satellite
Six years ago, the European Space Agency announced the selection of Ireland's first ever satellite as part of their "Fly Your Satellite" programme. The satellite called EIRSAT1 is now planned to be launched towards the end of November this year. Built by students from University College Dublin, it is a 2-unit CubeSat approximately the size of an Icom 705. Its primary mission is to perform gamma ray astronomy. The satellite has three experimental payloads onboard. It does not include an amateur radio transponder. However, the team will use 1200 baud AFSK for telecommand uplink and Space Packet Protocol-encoded telemetry using 9600 baud GMSK for the downlink on 437.1MHz. If all goes to plan, it will leave Earth from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on a Space X Falcon 9 rocket.
