Abstract/Summary:
The Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars microsatellite is an ambitious project to demonstrate high-value science requiring a high-performance satellite bus and instrument in a microsatellite-sized package and cost. The work performed in this report summarizes the communication subsystem for the satellite, including both the satellite and Earth station hardware. One major design iteration is presented, along with the final, flight form of the subsystem. The ground testing methodology is also present, and some in-flight experience is given.
