COVE Autorun Success

The CubeSat On-board Processing Validation Experiment (COVE) aboard MCubed-2 has successfully run and completed its first task without any issues! COVE utilizes an advanced radiation-hardened FPGA processor and image processing algorithms that will be used for high-data-rate processing in future Earth science missions. Decoded beacons from this morning’s pass included the following information which indicates that Continue Reading »

MC2 uplink successful!

The ops team successfully command MC2 this morning! This is a major hurdle for the team as on MC1, uplink was unsuccessful due to a variety of factors. The team is now readying commands to assess the status of the payload, COVE, and download further telemetry from the satellite. Good job team!

MCubed-2 Client Updates

Hey Helpful Operators! We’ve released a new client with a few necessary updates and bugfixes. We have added solar panel temperatures and currents, fixed a bug where we weren’t able to identify the associated ground station with incoming beacons, and re-enabled the ability to upload the local backup data files. Grab the new client at Continue Reading »

MCubed-2 Telemetry

Mark Hammond from North Carolina has successfully decoded the MCubed-2 beacons! The spacecraft’s telemetry indicates that all systems are currently nominal. We’d like to thank all of the HAM operators who are currently helping us decode beacons!

Critical subsystems normally functions
The telemetry shows that all critical subsystems are functioning nominally!
