Many thanks to the IARU team helping to coordinate global satellite frequencies. GRIFEX was recently coordinated by them, and we will be operating at our typical MXL CubeSat frequency of 437.485. GRIFEX launch is scheduled for the fall of 2014. Follow this link to the IARU list of coordinated satellites.
MXL at the CubeSat Workshop
MXL is at the spring CubeSat workshop at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. Kathryn Luczek is presenting a poster on QB50. We are also part of several presentations, see below:
- The Successful Operation of MCubed/COVE-2 — Paula Pingree @ JPL
- Shields-1, A CubeSat With a Radiation Shielding Research Payload — Dr. Larry Thomsen @
MC2 Ops Update – Photo of So Cal
MC2 continues to be successfully tasked to operate COVE and perform experiments. We recently ran our 25th successful COVE run on pic6, a picture taken by MC2 on 09 February 2014 over northern Michigan. A succesful run means that the COVE payload processed the image, and that the data produced by the algorithm matched the data Continue Reading »

The University of Michigan started the first collegiate aeronautics program in the United States in 1914. Since then, the Department has graduated more than 6,000 aeronautical and aerospace engineers. Continue Reading »
