Additional information MIR-SAT 1
Collecting images of Mauritius and surrounding regions using longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera, technology demonstration of S-band high speed data transmission and reaction wheel, and capacity building.
1. Verify the performance of the on-board subsystems by receiving telemetry from the satellite and establish communication to and from the satellite (command and control). 2. Collect images of Mauritius and the Mauritian EEZ for capacity, building, experiment and research. 3. Experimental communication with other islands via the satellite (for scientific and/or emergency purposes), through a Radio Amateur digipeater payload. 4. V/U 9600bps GMSK digipeater may be open for Radio Amateur communication worldwide when the satellite not used for all above.
