BRICSAT2 and PSAT2 Designated Navy-OSCAR 103 (NO-103) and
Navy-
OSCAR 104 (NO-104)
On June 25, 2019, the United States Naval
Academy PSAT2 and BRICSAT2
cubesats were launched on a Falcon Heavy launch
vehicle from the
Kennedy Space Center in Florida. PSAT2 and BRICSAT2 were
developed by
Naval Academy students in the USNA Satellite Lab and operated
in
cooperation with the USNA Amateur Radio Club. PSAT2 carries a
PSK31
transponder, digipeater, SSTV-downlinked camera images, and a DTMF
to
voice/APRS system. BRICSAT2 carries a digipeater and
thruster
experiment. Both satellites are currently active.
At the
request of the Naval Academy Amateur Radio Club, AMSAT hereby
designates
BRICSAT2 as Navy-OSCAR 103 (NO-103), and PSAT2 as Navy-
OSCAR 104 (NO-104).
We congratulate the owners and operators, thank
them for their contribution
to the amateur satellite community, and
wish them a long mission and
continued success on this and future
projects.
