Additional information SPARC-1
Agile Space Radio (ASR) is an on-orbit reconfigurable transceiver, intended to support live experimentation with different waveforms and protocols useful to communications missions. Also a visible camera optimized for the study of space situation awareness (SSA) concepts. The camera is used to take photos of star-fields or remote space objects. It cannot take photos of the Earth. The data from the radio and the camera is supplied to both the United States and Swedish
