The current CubeSat project, NTNU Test Satellite (NUTS), is part of the national student satellite program in Norway, and our project is meant to be a genuine student satellite project. Initially the plan was to base all the work, except project management, on students master's thesis. One of the major experiences from the nCube-projects was that such a complex project hardly could be handled by students only. However, even if the project manager resides in the project for a long time, the work force is ever changing. Due to the nature of the ed-ucation program at NTNU, students usually spend a maximum of 9 months as a project member. In this period, they need to understand the complexity of the project as a whole and their own part in the system as responsible for a subsystem or part of such. Further they need to understand and evaluate previous works, ...

The project is part of the national student satellite program in Norway, managed by the Norwegian Centre for Space related Education, NAROM. The NUTS project aims to design, develop, test, launch and operate a double CubeSat by 2014. Students from different study programs will do the main part of the work, supported by project management and technical staff. The work will be per-formed as part of the student's project-and master thesis. The design has been chosen to be generic and modular, so the satellite-bus can support dif-ferent payloads. As a payload for this satellite, an IR-camera will be imple-mented. Recruitment and education of skillful students constitute a main part of the projects goals. Through hands-on experience, the students will be able to master different skills needed in their jobs after graduation. NTNU is a university offering ...

The elevation angle of the satellite was 3.2 deg and the frequency 11.8 GHz. The experiments carried out included measurements of atmospheric scintillations, cross-polarisation discrimination and space diversity improvements. The measurements showed that the distributions of the received satellite beacon amplitude can be approximated by Rice-distributions. Large diversity gain was obtained by using horizontal spacing of 1 km. A wideband (TV) transmission experiment was also performed with good result. (Author)
