What radio frequencies are used in space?
A photon doesn’t know it, but humans have decided to call it a bunch of different things. One of the ways we label it is by saying that a photon’s energy level happens to fall within a “Band”.

What is a Satellite Transponder?
This should be simple but different satellites use transponders for different reasons.
cFS Basecamp App Framework
Communications is between anything and everything: the spacecraft and the ground, the spacecraft and other spacecraft, and ground stations to operation centers. Even simple satellites can have multiple communication paths to think about.

Electronic Data Sheets
Electronic Data Sheets are a way to create and document your software interfaces. You can use them for any software project to make it much easier to maintain. And NASA’s cFS team sees the potential, too, so they and the community have started to create the capability in an add-on package. They may also make…
