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.

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!
MCubed-2 Beacons
We have confirmed that the beacons we heard were indeed from MCubed-2! The overlay on the waterfall plot shows the Doppler shift that occurs as the satellite passes overhead. The center frequency is exactly 437.485 MHz, which is MCubed-2’s transmission frequency.
First Contact!
At 6:52 a.m., MCubed-2 made it’s first pass over Ann Arbor and we heard her beacons with the high-gain Yagi antenna! The ground station also picked up a satellite transmitting around 437.355 MHz. We will continue to track the GEMSat CubeSats and decode the beacons during upcoming passes!
The updated TLEs for the CubeSats are Continue Reading »
MCubed-2 Telemetry and Tracking is Now Available!
The MCubed-2 telemetry and live tracking page is now available to the public! Amateur radio operators around the world can help the team by tracking the CubeSat as she passes overhead and listening to the beacons. Let us know what you hear!
