cubesat to the moon?

That is awesome. I can't even think of experiments that I would like to do from a satellite, but the potential alone is enough to pitch in some if we want a slot.

Of course telemetry as an educational tool would be great if nothing else.

This is one of those things that could benefit from a collaboration of hackerspaces. It could have a variety of functions and capabilities that all participating spaces could use, etc.

How about a ham radio duality experiment?

28MHz could make it through the atmosphere, and is the longest wavelength to use the least power. The detectors could be small and togglable on a cycle.

I doubt that there'd be enough power available, but it would be cool to be the first (maybe?) to reproduce the duality experiment through atmos.

My thought was actually whether the mockup illustration of the satellite was complete, since I didn't see any obvious antenna for telemetry.  Possibly integrated into the solar array?

Or perhaps communication would only be done while the satellite is close to Earth?

28 MHz CAN make it through the ionosphere, depending on the time of day... (like, not so much daytime, but nighttime is a go)

We regularly make contact on 2 meters (146 MHz) and 70 Cems (440 MHz) via satellite repeaters (FM, CW, SSB, and digital), including APRS/Packet with the ISS and sometimes voice to the ISS as well.

Yep, the campaign was cancelled. Maybe an additional test failed.
