About
The AAC SpaceQuest RX-2000 is an adaptable low-power S-band transceiver designed to offer high data rates supporting a variety of data interfaces and modulation schemes. It has been in operation on-orbit for over 30 years across AAC SpaceQuest’s own satellites and a wide range of blue-chip clients globally. The transceiver operates on S-band frequencies with GMSK modulation and up to 26 customer-programmable channels with 20 MHz bandwidth. Although not CubeSat Standard, this solution can be used in a CubeSat system design. The receiver generates clock and data output, giving customers flexibility to implement customized or reconfigurable communication protocols on their flight computer or an auxiliary communications processor. Its clam-shell chassis design allows flexibility for spacecraft bus mounting options.
