Mission
The satellite was launched on 17 January 2021, with a LauncherOne rocket. This carrier was brought, notched and detonated by the "Cosmic Girl", a converted Boeing 747, from the Mojave Air and Space Port, California, United States, and to an altitude of approx. 35,000 ft (11,000 m). The flight was carried out on behalf of NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) program and put 10 satellites into orbit as part of the Rideshare ELaNa 20 mission.[3]
The telemetry beacon could not yet be received, but the transponder is partially in operation with reduced signal strength. Work on commissioning the telemetry beacon and checking the transponder will continue with the aim of opening the satellite for general use.
The satellite became operational on 20 July 2021. [4]

RadFxSat-2, Fox-1E, AO-109 oder AMSAT OSCAR 109 ist ein US-amerikanischer Amateurfunksatellit. Dieser Satellit ist, wie Fox-1B (AMSAT-OSCAR 91), ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt zwischen der Vanderbilt-Universität und der AMSAT-NA. Der 1U-CubeSat ist der fünfte und letzte Satellit der Fox-1-Serie. Er trägt wie Fox-1B ein Experiment zu Strahlungseffekten, bei dem die neue FinFET-Technologie untersucht wird. Der Satellitenbus baut auf der Fox-1-Serie auf, verfügt aber über einen 30 kHz breiten Lineartransponder für den Mode U/V für SSB/CW als Ersatz für die Standard-FM-Transponder von Fox-1A bis D. Der Downlink verfügt über eine BPSK-Telemetrie mit 1200 bps zur Übertragung der Experimantaldaten der Vanderbilt-Universität.- [en] Fox-1E
