Fox-1D, a 1U CubeSat, is the third of AMSAT’s five Fox-1 CubeSats to reach orbit,
being preceded by AO-85 (Fox-1A) and AO-91 (RadFxSat / Fox-1B).
Fox-1D carries the Fox-1 U/v FM transponder,
with an uplink of 435.350 MHz (67.0 Hz CTCSS) and a downlink of 145.880 MHz.
In addition, Fox-1D carries several university experiments,
including a MEMS gyro from Pennsylvania State University – Erie, a camera from Virginia Tech,
and the University of Iowa’s HERCI (High Energy Radiation CubeSat Instrument) radiation mapping experiment.
Fox-1D also carries the AMSAT L-Band Downshifter experiment which enables the FM transponder to be switched to utilize an uplink of 1267.350 MHz (67.0 Hz CTCSS).
