  • Change the communication protocol by command uplink.
  • Broadcasting service of CW-telemetry data and FM-telemetry data on WWW
  • Measure the accelerarion, angular velocity and temperature of CubeSat on orbit, and then store and transmit the data.
  • Deploy the solar battery paddle by command uplink.
