Mission Statement The mission of RAFT is: To provide the Navy Space Surveillance (NSSS) radar fence with a means to determine the bounds of a constellation of PicoSats otherwise undetectable by the radar fence To enable NSSS to independently calibrate their transmit and receive beams using signals from RAFT. This must be accomplished with two PicoSats, one that will actively transmit and receive, and one with a passively augmented radar cross-section. Additionally, RAFT will provide experimental communications transponders for the Navy Military Affiliate Radio System, the United States Naval Academy’s Yard Patrol crafts, and the Amateur Satellite Service.

Military Affiliate Radio System The Mission of the MARS system is to: Provide auxiliary communications for military, federal and local disaster management officials Assist in effecting communications under emergency conditions. Handle morale and quasi-official message and voice communications traffic for members of the Armed Forces and authorized U.S. Government civilian personnel Provide routine operations in support of MARSGRAMS and … contacts between service personnel and their families back home.
