Morehead State's Prof. Ben Malphrus in this audio clip talks about the development of an S-band communications system for KySat-1 which, as Prof. Malphrus points out, can be used for tracking, telemetry and control of other cubesats as well. The 21 meter antenna he references was also recently tested with KySat-1, and is part of an emerging infrastructure being built around the space sciences in Kentucky.
