Triton 1, 2
Triton 1 [ISIS]
Triton 1 and 2 are 3U CubeSat nanosats developed by ISIS-BV (Innovative Solutions In Space BV) to test new technologies in space.
The purpose of the Triton satellites is a radio science mission which aims to test an experimental advanced AIS (Automatic Identification System)receiver. Telemetry decoding software will be made available which will allow radio amateur operators to listen to periodic downlink broadcasts containing housekeeping telemetry, payload telemetry as well as received AIS messages.
