Of course I have no idea -- it may only be a shutdown command receiver.
I checked the ULS an there is no female ham in NC or VA with her last name so no telling how technically accurate those "Anthropomorphic STMsat-1" statements are (She is listed on the faculty roster as a Kindergarten teacher at STM School). There may well be some intentional obfuscation as well. Hearing several days later the key information that there will be no TX was an important bit of information that, had it been given earlier, might have made folks more comfortable with not hearing anything.
Hopefully Joe Pellegrino or Matt Sammons will communicate some details as they, no doubt, know the secret sauce that went into everything technical on STMsat-1.
Clearly this is a wonderful educational program, and the more technical information provided, the better for other schools that would like to follow in their footsteps. Clearly technical information isn't necessary for the audience they are reaching out to, so I don't suspect them to jam their Twitter account with it, but adding some of those details would be a wonderful thing to do in the future on their main website or facebook page.
Exciting time ahead, hopefully.
