Dave Mellor G4EWK tested his new FUNcube Dongle Pro+ Software Defined Radio by receiving the NOAA 19 weather satellite.
The FUNcube Dongle Pro+ LF/MF/HF/VHF/UHF SDR was developed for educational outreach as part of the ground segment for the FUNcube satellite.
A proportion of the FCD-Pro+ sales goes to support the AMSAT-UK FUNcube satellite project.
In this video Mike Johnson of NanoRacks gives an overview of the NanoLab Experiment to the group assembled for the International Space Station Research Competition Workshop Friday, October 5, 2012 at the Florida Solar Energy Center.
Space Florida and NanoRacks have partnered to provide a Competition in which up to 8 Winners will have an opportunity to fly their payloads to the International Space Station (ISS) and have scientific research conducted on board the U.S. National Lab. It is intended that the winning payloads will fly on a SpaceX Falcon 9 inside the Dragon spacecraft, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
