Research abstract
MUOS call processing payloads on Nanosats will provide enhanced UHF SATCOM coverage at the poles of the earth and in areas where direct line of sight to the geosynchronous satellites are obstructed by geographical features such as mountainous terrain and slot canyons. This project will assess the feasibility of miniaturizing W5's standalone portable MUOS emulator, the Mighty MUOOS, into a MUOS call processing payloads for use on Nanosats. Once we have determined this is possible, this payload will provide a cost effective and persistent MUOS extension which will provide UHF SATCOM coverage not possible with previous geosynchronous satellite systems.
