RADIO IN SPACE: DEDICATED CUBESAT SPECTRUM FOR RESEARCH
PROJECTS
SmallSat, CubeSat, and Nano Satellite developers are seeking
a spectrum allocation, outside of the 435 to 437 MHz amateur
satellite band that could be dedicated to their specific
bandwidth, data rate, and mission requirements.
In a press release ISIS notes that experimental, proof-of-
concept demonstration missions find it increasingly more
difficult to find spectrum on today's crowded bands. Also,
obtaining commercial or research space frequency allocations
is beyond the budgetary capability of many of these
missions.
ISIS says that some satellite developers may be able to
adapt their communication requirements to operate in the
amateur radio spectrum. But in order to fully meet mission
requirements on other projects a more suitable spectrum is
quickly becoming a potential long term need for the emerging
nano-satellite market.
ISIS says they plan to attend the World Radio Conference,
WRC, this month as part of the Dutch national delegation.
This is to make use of the opportunity to informally sound
out the various opinions on this matter and investigate
potential possibilities for creating a future solution
ensuring the spectral needs of the community are met. (ANS)
