One of the main goals of AMSAT's Fox-1 project is providing their university partners with reliableplatforms for space based research. To support this, the Ted and Karyn Hume Center for NationalSecurity and Technology at Virginia Tech started building a camera experiment in 2013. Thisexperiment occupies the top two boards in the stack for the Fox-1 C and D satellites that includesa CMOS camera capable of transmitting 640x480 pixel JPEG images of Earth. Once the spacecraftenters high-speed" mode, Amateur Radio operators around the world can use the FoxTLM softwareto decode and reconstruct the images taken by the camera.
