Navy Education Through Amateur Satellite Development
Abstract
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) is developing a
small satellite for digital store-and-forward communication
using spread spectrum techniques. NPS is looking toward
the amateur radio community in an effort to utilize costeffective
engineering and proven means of radio message
relay. This cooperative initiative between NPS and the
amateur radio community provides numerous benefits for
the education of NPS officer students. The spacecraft will
provide for amateur radio enthusiasts a new space communication
mode utilizing spread spectrum modulation for
packet radio. It also offers a means of evaluating spread
spectrum in the increasingly congested frequency bands.
