The INSPIRE-Sat 7 satellite is scheduled to be launched on
the SpaceX Transporter 7 mission on 11 April 2023 at 06:48 UTC
. The INSPIRE-Sat 7 satellite is a university project carried
out by the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin en Yvelines
(France) on behalf of LATMOS (UVSQ, Sorbonne University,
Université Paris Saclay, CNRS).
This satellite is a demonstrator for experimenting new
technologies with a strong involvement of students. This
satellite allows the experimentation of miniaturized remote
sensing sensors that could be used for multi-point observation
of essential climate variables (ECV) and the ionosphere.
INSPIRE-Sat 7 carries :
- A 435.200 MHz telemetry channel with BPSK mode -
GR3UH 9k6
- An FM transponder with an uplink of 145.830 MHz and a
downlink of 435.200 MHz. The FM transponder is expected to
be active at least twice a month, depending on the
satellite power budget.
- The SPINO card that will be activated for
experimentation
To receive the telemetry, a software has been developed:
KissTool
. It is available for Windows & Linux:
