General function of space object
DISCO-1 is a 1U student CubeSat hosting a UHF radio and a Coral Dev Board Mini single-board computer with a TPU coprocessor. The aim of the satellite is technology demonstration. The students will test the use of machine learning on the single-board microcomputer and conduct various other experiments, including using a small camera as a cosmic ray detector. It is also planned that the UHF radio should be offered as a digipeater service to the radio amateur community.
