Hey all,
I am a command controller from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU). I am a member of the operations team for the Atmospheric Effects of Precipitation through Energetic X-Rays (AEPEX) CubeSat. AEPEX is a 6U mission that will study radiation belt losses through energetic particle precipitation (EPP) in the upper atmosphere, magnetopause shadowing, and wave-particle interactions. AEPEX has two instruments: AFIRE (AEPEX’s Focused Investigations of Relativistic Electrons) and AXIS (Atmospheric X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer).
I can only provide more information on the launch date at a later time, unfortunately. I will keep you all updated!
The title is a slight misnomer, as a temporary NORAD ID has been created already. I highly appreciate that! However, my understanding is that more information is required from the AEPEX team to finalize it.
I created a SatNOGS issue report where you can find more detailed documentation on radios. Please let me know what other information I can provide.
I will, however, submit a pull request for a kaitai telemetry decoder in the next few days. I will post back here, providing both the telemetry parser and some test data.
I have created a pull request for an AEPEX telemetry decoder within gr-satellites. I will reply in thread with a link to that.
Thank you to everyone who has helped build this wonderful community!
Thanks,
Adrian Bryant
