“…It must be noted that there are no intersatellite communications between the CubeSats of the constellation. The only communication links are with the 10 ground stations which are distributed over 10 different countries [63]. BIRDS-2 used the same modulation scheme (GMSK) and data rate (9.6 kbps) as BIRDS-1 for both uplink and downlink [63].…”

BIRDS-2 used the same modulation scheme (GMSK) and data rate (9.6 kbps) as BIRDS-1 for both uplink and downlink [63]. However, BIRDS-2 used deployable monopole antennas, whose design is described in detail in [64], instead of the patch antenna used in BIRDS-1 [63].…”

“…This study will focus on the results of the KITSUNE FM TVT. The aim was to verify the functionality of the payload from the uplink execution command to downlink image data in two cycles Frontiers in Space Technologies frontiersin.org between −15.0 and +60.0 °C, according to the BIRDS project test (Azami et al, 2019;Kim et al, 2021) and ISO 19683 Space systems-design qualification and acceptance tests of small spacecraft and units. The CubeSat was precisely placed inside the thermal chamber, and a collimator lens was straight levelled at the outer chamber, pointing towards the target lens through the chamber window, as illustrated in Figure 7.…”

According to a previous study [23], approximately 67% of the land is covered with clouds, and local regions with high cloud fraction exceeding 80% exist.…”
