NEE-01

NEE-01 Pegaso




The first Ecuadorian satellite, the NEE-01 Pegaso, designed and built completely in
the country by a team of national engineers. The NEE-01 Pegaso is a nanosatellite,
of the cubesat 1U class, it has a cubic shape and two solar panel wings with 3 panels
on each side for a total of 6 panels per wing, its dimensions are 10 by 10 by 75 centimeters
(4 by 4 by 30 inches) with its solar wings completely deployed and weights 1.2 kilos,
it has an onboard camera which will allow the spacecraft to take pictures and transmit
live video from space, the launch into orbit is planned for the 3rd quarter of year 2012
onboard a Russian rocket.

There is a mp3 file in Homepage. I am too high-speed and am illegible with my ear, but
they are decoded as follows by a certain software. In addition, the data file flowing
in the latter half is 'Martin 2' mode of SSTV and the picture of Pegasus appeared as above.

[Supplement] NEE-01 ham radio information, 4th May 2013
             http://pegaso.exa.ec/index-en.html


* NEE-01 PEGASO is NOT a Ham satellite as it uses a proprietary transmitter
  and you need a proprietary receiver system to get its full signal

* However EXA tries to get the most information here for those looking for
  the challenge of detecting and decoding the signal of the satellite

* The receiver system must have an amplifier system of at least 160dB to get
  the signal

* The signal bandwidth is 25Mhz from 897.5 to 922.5Mhz.

* The lowest expected signal level is -180dBm the higher signal is at -150dBm

* Audio carriers are at 904 and 915Mhz 

* Your antenna tracking system must have a pointing accuracy of 0.5 degrees
  and your aperture should be no more than 5 degrees

* NEE-01 PEGASO shuts itself off during eclipse and it can only be activated
  by HERMES-A ground station while in this state, during illumination the
  spacecraft operates normally

* For more technical information you can contact EXA Space Operations
  division at spaceops at exa dot ec
