Spacecraft data:

Description:

• A 2U CubeSat Satellite, from Institut superieur de l′aeronautique et de l′espace, Toulouse. Infer thermosphere parameters during orbital phase (alt.>200 km), and study satellite re-entry during re-entry phase (alt.<200 km).
  Provide Amateur FM relay. Will transmit 9k6 packet and voice, A downlink on 436.950MHz has been coordinated.
• The EntrySat experiment consists of inserting a nanosatellite in the form of a 3U CubeSat into low-Earth orbit (which is similar in principle to secondary debris typically issued from launch vehicles or satellites). A science module operating during the reentry phase will be able to perform in - situ measurements of the CubeSat environment as well as integrity up to its destruction. Acquired data will be sent in real time through the Iridium constellation back to the ground segment.
