Experimental Satellites Laboratory - Advanced research and development result description:

1. Satellite Phase 3D - Two L-band receivers have been developed for this satellite in ESL. The first one is main command receiver and second one is a part of matrix transponder. This work was successfully finalized in the year 2000.

2. Satellite telemetry and command station - Development of basic equipment for the telemetry gathering and command station IREL BUT has been finalized at Brno University of Technology in 2003. The arrangement is suitable for the satellite on high elliptical (HEO) and low Earth (LEO) orbits. The equipment consists of antennae system for automatic satelite tracking, collection of receivers and transmitters, low noise amplifiers, down and up frequency converters, rf power amplifiers, modems and terminal node controllers.

3. PCSAT2 project - Transponder for narrow band and multi-user data communication with extremely high spectral effectiveness. Main goal of the project was to verify possibilities of keyboard-tokeyboard satellite communication. The whole appliance passed all pre-flight tests and was delivered to the International Space Station ISS in 2005 and one year tested. We have got the receiver back to our laboratory for investigation of a space environment influence after end of the mission .

4. Satellite Phase 3E - Project of Phase 3E experimental satellite. The satellite is planned to be on HEO orbit as well, with 60o inclination. It will be smaller in size comparing to Phase 3D satellite and its main function will be to verifycommanding and ranging in extreme conditions, i.e. to verify our developed technologies for next satellite mission P5A to Mars.
