Additional information PICOSAT 1 & 2 [TETHERE
To demonstrate the basic functional elements of a low-power LEO ?swarm? or formation PICOSAT array. To communicate from space using node-type radios and to report the results of MEMS-switched tests. Validate MEMS radio frequency switches. The two orbiting picosats are to be tethered because they will communicate via micropower radios. The tether will keep them within range of each other for crosslink purposes.
