Experimental Overview
Pointing a CCD Camera toward any direction and acquiring image by commands from Ground Station



Experimental Objective

Uplink Engineering Test
        CanSat receives commands transmitted from GS.

Teleoperation Engineering Test
        CanSat takes a still picture at optional time by receiving a command from GS.

SSTV Engineering Test
        Convert a still picture into SSTV fome and transmit it by the SSTV fome to the ground station.




Exwerimental Signification

  Operating this ARLISS experiment, we make a basic study of micro/pico satellite, Communication technology, teleoperation technology, transmitting by SSTV form technology, and this experiment is applicable to CubeSat project.

CanSat#005 "SSTV-Sat" Experimental Sequence

1. Before CanSat is inserted into carrier, power of SSTV scan converter and transceiver are ON.
2. After CanSat release, transmit commands to the satellite from GS.
3. Receive a still picture from CanSat, and store in the PC's HD on the GS.
4. Repeat transmitting commands and receiving image to the end of battery life.
5. Recover the CanSat.
