Birds-4
BIRDS4 Project, Japan
The project is led by Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan . 437.375MHz, Tsuru/GuaraniSat-1/Maya-2 BIRDS4 Project website Dear BIRDS-4 followers and amateur radio operators. We published the decoder software which is to receive CW and decode it. In the pdf file, you can access the detailed specification of our satellites CW. And you can also access the pptx file which is to explain how to use the software. https://birds4.birds-project.com/The BIRDS Satellite ProjectThe Joint Global Multi-Nation Birds Satellite (BIRDS) Project was
initiated in 2015 by the Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan with the
help of over ten partner institutions. It was envisioned by Dr. Mengu
Cho, Professor at Kyutech, who became Principal Investigator for the
Project. The BIRDS Project trains graduate students from many developing
countries in using innovative and cost-effective systems engineering
during the course of a two-year satellite project. The BIRDS project was
selected by the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) as the winner
of the 2017 GEDC Airbus Diversity Award for diversity in engineering.
The Project has provided training for students from many countries
including: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Egypt, Ghana, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal,
Nigeria, Paraguay, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Thailand, and
Turkey.
One BIRDS project is begun each year, with 2019 marking the fourth
generation (BIRDS-4) since the Project’s inception. The yearly projects
are carried out by graduate students enrolled at Kyutech for a masters
or doctoral degree, and such projects are supervised by four Kyutech
faculty members. During these two-year satellite projects, the students
design, develop, and operate CubeSats belonging to participating
countries. Since 2015, the BIRDS Project has trained fifty-two graduate
students, thirty-two of whom hail from under-represented countries, and
launch eleven 1U CubeSats.
The long-term goal of the BIRDS Project is to train students in
developing countries to help launch and steer their nations’ space
programs. As part of the project, Kyutech has built a global human and
ground station network of more than fifteen countries that are
continually operating satellites and sharing research ideas. The Project
hosts an annual BIRDS workshop to foster communication and cooperation,
allowing its participants and graduates to meet in person and discuss
their progress and new programs. It has supported Bangladesh, Bhutan,
Ghana, Mongolia, Nepal and Sri Lanka in launching their first national
satellites with the help of project graduates. The BIRDS Project has
also supported ten institutions in developing countries through the
difficult process of creating their own sustainable space research and
education programs. Red More @ SSPIOTHER SATELLITES AREHirogari
