AO-27 is a secondary amateur communications
payload carried aboard the EYESAT-1 experimental MICROSAT satellite built
by Interferometrics Inc. of Chantilly, Virginia. The commercial side
of the spacecraft's mission is the experimental monitoring of mobile industrial
equipment.The amateur equipment aboard the satellite was constructed by
members of AMRAD, a technically oriented, non-profit organization of radio
amateurs based in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., to meet the
needs of amateurs for a platform to conduct digital satellite communications
experiments. |

Mission: |
KITSAT-2 was a South Korean experimental
microsatellite based on the SSTL UoSAT bus built by the Korean Advanced
Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). KO-25 was operated from The
Satellite Technology Research Center (SaTReC) in South Korea. It was later
designated KITSAT-OSCAR-25 once in orbit.
KO-25's mission was to take CCD pictures,
process numerical information, measure radiation and receive and forward
messages. The Infrared Sensor Experiment (IREX) was designed to acquire
I/V characteristics of IR sensors. A passive cooling structure was devised
for this experiment where ground controllers monitored the temperature
of the experiment. |

Mission: |
PoSAT-1 is Portugal's first satellite achieved
through a technology transfer program with Surrey Satellite Technology,
Ltd. (SSTL). PoSAT-1 was built at the University of Surrey in a collaborative
program between a consortium of Portuguese academia and industry.
The Portugese consortium sent 4 engineers to Surrey to participate in on-the-job
training. Like KITSAT-1, PoSAT-1 carries a wide range of technology
experiments, including earth imaging cameras, DSP and space-radiation experiments.
In addition, PoSAT-1 carries the first microsatellite GPS experiment and
an ultra-low-cost CCD star sensor. It is operated jointly by the University
of Surrey command station at Guildford and the Portugese command station
at Sintra. PoSAT was operated on amateur frequencies for several weeks
in early 1994. |
