EASAT-2 is a 1.5P pocketQube satellite designed and built jointly by AMSAT-EA and students from the European University in Madrid (Degrees in Aerospace Engineering in Aircraft and Telecommunication Systems Engineering), with contributions from ICAI University in the part of communications. Its main function is to act as a FM voice repeater and a FSK digital data transponder. It also features a CW beacon and a recorded voice from AMSAT EA Treasurer Joanna Bury with the callsign AM5SAT. As an experimental payload, it carries a basaltic material from Lanzarote, similar to lunar basalts that could be used as construction material in Moon, provided by the research group on meteorites and planetary geosciences of the CSIC at the Institute of Geosciences, IGEO (CSIC-UCM). This project was promoted and has the collaboration of the ETSICCP (UPM). QSLs: Reception of telemetry or record of FM voice beacon will be awarded with a printed QSL.
