The ISIS Turnstile UHF antenna has been tested on a 2U cubesat structure. The antenna was succesfully deployed using software commands and used to send radio signals to the ground station.
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) held a cubesat seminar to introduce the work being performed on their student satellite project NUTS. Three CubeSTAR students attended the seminar to learn about the NUTS and exchange information and experience with the other students.
