Session
Session I: A Look Back: Lessons Learned
Location
Utah State University, Logan, UT
Abstract
The RadFxSat mission was launched on November 18, 2017 with the Joint Polar Satellite System-1 (JPSS-1) under the NASA ELaNa XIV initiative. RadFxSat, now designated at AO-91, is an AMSAT Fox bus carrying a Vanderbilt University radiation effects payload. Embedded in the sub-audible range of voice transmissions are the telemetry conveying the status of the spacecraft and payload. Since launch, hundreds of amateur radio operators have submitted thousands of telemetry packets. These data can be retrieved using AMSAT’s FoxTelem software and are being used by researchers to measure the effects of ionizing radiation on modern commercial electronics.
