Very good to hear. Thanks for forwarding. In addition to updating our connector it would be good to layout a timeline for work on other changes and testing.

Attached is the preliminary Combo LIHU / Fox-Plus IHU PC104 connector. I have not "published" it yet as I'm waiting for feedback from the PCB designer. But I don't think it will change. PACSAT would get its power from the 5v_sw_1 or the 3v3_sw_1 depending on what you need. Both come from the ISISPACE EPS we are using. The [Rn] shown are zero ohm resistors which are populated for LIHU but not for Fox-Plus.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks. And can you direct me to your document for the Fox-Plus PC104?

Very rough estimate for Fox-Plus-A is Q3 2025, with Fox-Plus-B to follow soon thereafter (Q4?)

Bill,

I am definitely interested in flying PACSAT. We will not be able to fly it on Fox-Plus-A (the first Fox-Plus) but want to put it on Fox-Plus-B. It would be flown as an experimental payload, so could be turned on and off by the OBC. The interface would be via the PC104 connector, so you will need to adapt to the Fox-Plus PC104.

I will be on tonight's meeting, but I am going out of town on vacation for about 2 weeks starting tomorrow.

Thanks and 73,

Mike,

I have heard rumors that the foxplus team might be interested in flying pacsat on a future flight.

Can we discuss this at some point to see if a future flight might be possible. The pacsat team is completing the ASCENT proof of concept and we are evaluating what our next steps might be.
