Goal of enthusing and educating young people about radio, space, physics and electronics. 435 to 145 MHz Linear Transponder for SSB/CW operation. Carries a materials science experiment, from which the school students can receive telemetry data and which they can compare to the results they obtained from similar reference experiments in the classroom. This experiment resembles the Leslie''s Cube experiment.
