RamSat: A fitting end to a successful student-built amateur radio community 2U CubeSat

1/15/2023

 
A group of middle school students in Oak Ridge, Tennessee (USA) built a 2U CubeSat with help from faculty and mentors, and launched it in June of 2021. Deployed from the ISS, RamSat remained in LEO orbit until October 2022, when its final transmission was received over South Africa, prior to deorbiting.

RamSat utilized several Pumpkin components, including a PIC24 CubeSat Kit, a 2U CubeSat Kit chassis, an MBM with PPM E1, and COTS 2U solar panels.

More information is available at the RamSat project's website.

Additionally, the January 2023 issue of AARL's QST magazine (login required) has a three-page article on RamSat (pp.60-62).
