BIRDS 5 Mission Statement \r\n   Build Uganda and Zimbabwe?s first satellite while improving the standardized bus system for future missions, giving continuity to the satellite development of Japan and previous missions from BIRDS-1,2,3 and 4. \r\n Primary Objective(s)  \r\nTo design, build, test, launch and operate Uganda and Zimbabwe?s first satellite. \r\n To demonstrate the multispectral camera and DLP feasibility on 1U CubeSat. \r\n To give continuity to three missions; attitude visualisation, Imaging classification Mission (IMG-CLS) and Store & Forward (SF- WARD). \r\n To demonstrate Particle Instrument for Nano-satellite(PINO). \r\n To serve the Amateur radio community with APRS-Digipeater mission (APRS-DP). \r\n Secondary Objective(s)  \r\nTo give continuity to 2U structure for further projects. \r\n To demonstrate on-board image processing and classification. \r\n To demonstrate mounting of three Raspberry Pi on a 1U CubeSat. \r\n Uganda will make use of the microgravity (the weightless environment) provided by the satellite to carry out advanced 3D biological human tissue printing. Additionally, the team in space will carry out investigations on how microgravity impacts ovary function.
