Transporter-5 Mission

    • Official Post

    Transporter-5 ist SpaceX' fünfte spezielle Kleinsatelliten-Rideshare-Mission. An diesem Flug nehmen 59 Raumfahrzeuge teil, darunter CubeSats, Mikrosatelliten, nicht entfaltbare gehostete Nutzlasten und Orbital-Transferfahrzeuge.

    Planetum-1 greets you from SPACE!

    Example of CW data beacon

    According to radio amateur standards, every CW beacon (no matter if data or message beacon) starts with

    "DE ok0pla = " and ends with "ar".

    de ok0pla = u5433r126t29p30 ar

    Explanation:

    1. Total uptime [minutes]

    2. Reset number

    3. Temp MCU [*C]

    4. Temp Radio PA [*C]

    u5433 = Uptime 5433 minutes

    r126 = 126 resets of downlink radio

    t29 = 29 degree of Celsius on DL radio MCU

    p30 = 30 degree of Celsius on DL radio PA

    Example of CW message beacon

    de ok0pla = morse test from earth ar
