Detailed Description

FASTRAC 2 is half of a pair of student-built nanosatellites to investigate relative navigation, attitude determination with GPS, and a micro-discharge plasma thruster. Amateurs are encouraged to submit telemetry from both satellites via the project website. After the primary science mission is completed, both satellites may be opened for general amateur radio use as digipeaters.
