Abstract
The Petite Amateur Navy Satellite (PANSAT) was
launched aboard the STS-95 Discovery Shuttle on 29
October 1998. PANSAT was inserted into a circular,
low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 550 km and 28.45°
inclination on 30 October 1998. PANSAT continues to
operate and support the educational mission at NPS
even after reaching its two-year design life. The
research aspect also continues with the analysis of the
accumulated telemetry data, in terms of how well the
spacecraft operated over the mission design life.
However, the store-and-forward mission using direct
sequence spread spectrum was never realized.
