EnduroSat One - The First Bulgarian CubeSat Mission

The first Bulgarian CubeSat mission - EnduroSat One was launched on the 21st of May. The satellite is part of a radio amateur mission which aims to popularize space-related activities in the country by involving anyone interested (primarily radio amateurs and students). The EnduroSat company collaborated with its partner educational program - Space Challenges in order to ensure a long-lasting educational outreach program in addition to the technology verification of all the EnduroSat components and to involve schools and universities in the mission. To that end, two beacons transmitting at 437.05 MHz will be used and instructions will be provided to anyone interested in receiving and downloading telemetry data from the satellite. The telemetry data will include the current date and time of the satellite clock, the satellite coordinates, the magnetic field at its position and details of its power levels and consumption. During the mission, educational materials on the topics of radio communications will be published by the Space Challenges Program by means of the online platform Spaceport, which already contains substantial materials on the topics of Space Science and Engineering, hoping to create a long-lasting interest in these respective fields and boost the likelihood of potential new participants in similar future missions.
