Hi Bill,

I agree. We have an engineer starting next week, Patrick Thomas, who will be tasked with planning the integration of ASCENT projects into Fox+ payloads. PACSAT will be the first one he will work on. He will produce an ICD. As you know, there are quite a few factors which will need to be taken into account. Power and size, and operational constraints such as the possibility of operation only in sunlight?  PACSAT will likely interface with the OBC (the LIHU in Fox-Plus-B) via the PC104.

Do you have a CONOPS for PACSAT?

CONOPS, System Requirement Specs, and PC104 pinout specs (although it may need updating) for Fox+ can be found on github: https://github.com/AMSAT-NA/fox-plus/tree/main/systems_engineering.

Thanks and 73,

Mike K4MVM

Mike,

We need to coordinate the pacsat payload for foxplus-2.

Is there an ICD?
