WUSat sits in its ejector, bolted to the nose of a sounding rocket
Low Power Radio Solutions (LPRS) is to join the sponsors of Warwickshire University satellite programme, whose second WUSat CubeSat recently impressed the European Space Agency by maintaining communication throughout re-entry after a ‘Rexus’ launch from Sweden.
“This was the first occasion that an ESA/Rexus launch device had successfully achieved stand-alone radio transmission on re-entry,” said LPRS.
WUSat’s radio transmission system was based on LPRS’ sub-GHz eRIC (easyRadio integrated controller) modules – donated for the Swedish shot by RS Components. It was through this donation that LPRS got to hear of the WUSat team and decided to help out with future missions.
The Warwick team consists largely of undergraduates, led by Dr William Crofts.
“LPRS is grateful to RS Components for introducing the WUSat team to eRIC and is very excited to have the opportunity to assist engineers of the future in discovering the potential of wireless technology,” said LPRS.
