Members of the Warrington Club have eagerly awaited the Funcube launch, as many are avid followers of the Amateur satellite scene communicating through orbiting repeaters this is a great move to provide an Educational platform for a technical part of our hobby.<\/p>\n

FUNcube-1 is a 1U CubeSat that will provide a signal\u00a0directly<\/i>\u00a0from a satellite in space to the classroom, and can easily be received by schools and colleges. The target audience is students at both primary and secondary levels. The information will be displayed in an attractive format and provide stimulation and encouragement for students to become interested in all STEM (Science Technology Engineering & Maths) subjects in an unique way. In addition the spacecraft is also carrying a transponder for radio amateurs to use for communication.<\/p>\n
