1. M-SAT Missouri S&T Satellite Team SHOT II Post-Launch Ryan Pahl Matt Campbell Stephanie Evans Austin Ferguson

2. 2 Expected Results The two payloads should be able to communicate throughout the mission –The transmitting box sat will send a string of characters in a repeating pattern to the receiving box sat –The transmitting box will record the number of characters sent and the receiving box will store the actual characters for later comparison A ground range test was performed and the boxes functioned to a distance of 155 m

3. 3 Results Unfortunately, the team experienced a failure approximately 2 minutes before launch It was determined that this was due to a receiver malfunction or unforeseen interference Data received for approximately five minutes (31 characters) prior to launch Data transmitted for 2.8 hours (1030 characters)

4. 4 Conclusions and Actions When the payloads were recovered, they were turned off before being reopened –This did not allow for clear determination of the state of the receiver balloonsat The two payloads were tested after recovery and communicated successfully for an extended duration –Tried several configurations to determine failure mode
