Mission Overview • The main purpose of this mission is to test the Bluetooth technology used to communicate data between MR and MRS SAT • Compare the data sent and data received after recovery to determine success/failure rate 2

SHOT II / UN-6 Connection • M-SAT consists of two separate satellites that will communicate using Bluetooth technology • During the UNP-6 mission, MRS SAT’s GPS position data will be transmitted via Bluetooth to MR SAT where MR SAT will process the data formation control purposes • Verify Bluetooth operation over extended range 3

SHOT II Design and Test Details • Each payload will contain a microcontroller and Bluetooth module – The microcontroller has an 8051 architecture – The Bluetooth module is a Blue. Giga WT 11 -E • Modules hidden to prevent interference • During the testing, the prototype box proved that it was capable of surviving the extreme stress that may take place during the mission – – ~545 g per sat Whip test Drop test Stair test 4

Expected Results • The two payloads should be able to communicate throughout the mission

Expected Results • The two payloads should be able to communicate throughout the mission – The transmitting box sat will send a string of characters in a repeating pattern to the receiving box sat – The transmitting box will record the number of characters sent and the receiving box will store the actual characters for later comparison • A ground range test was performed and the boxes functioned to a distance of 155 m 5

Demonstration • The two boxes will be separated to test the range of the Bluetooth • A light has been placed on each box to display when the boxes are connected and transmitting 6
