Future MarexMG Proposes Projects

The Marex team is constantly working to keep access to ISS Affordable and Fun.  Attached are list of project proposals that we are currently developing.  Your support is always welcome.

 

Turbo Fan Project Proposal   This is a very simple project.  Bolt on new Heat sinks with fans, to the existing Kenwood TM-D700 on board ISS to make the radio run cooler.  All electronics in space run hotter than on earth.  Lets try to extend the life of the hardware in space and reduce the thermal stress caused by high duty cycle modes such as Cross Band Repeater and SSTV modes.

David Clark Headset Project Proposal   This simply provides an adapter to allow the usage of an "Off-the-Shelf" commercial grade headset to be used with either the Kenwood TM-D700 or the proposed Icom ID-800

Dual Band Cavity filter project (Pending)

Kantronics KPC-9612 Project (pending)

Radio to Laptop USB Interface Project (pending)

Kenwood TM-D700 Replacement and Software Re-write Project:  The unique cross radio software for the in-flight ISS D700 has changed from what was originally delivered to ISS in 2003.  We are not sure what caused the data changes (Radiation, Thermal Stress, 3-Years of Service or Crew Intervention). As a result of the changes, there are tentative plans to simply the software (and perform extensive testing) and fly a replacement D700 with the simpler software to ISS in the future. There is no flight schedule for this project at this time.
