Why build PANSAT?
The objectives of the PANSAT project are the following: (1) To enhance the education of military officers at the Naval Postgraduate School through the development and operation of a spread spectrum, digital communication satellite; (2) To demonstrate the capability of a low-cost, packetized, spread spectrum system to enhance military communication using a small satellite platform; and, (3) To provide store-and-forward communication using direct sequence, spread spectrum modulation for the amateur radio community.
