YES2 and SSAU-YES2

Michiel and Sasha, one of the SSAU-YES2 experiment students, after successful mounting of both experiments on the Foton hardware. SSAU-YES2 is a GPS plus datalogger inside the Foton capsule, and on the battery pack two radially mounted antennas and a combiner. The experiment, together with MASS GPS could provide relative position measurement and therefore much more precise evaluation of the tether deployment. Sasha built and tested also a 3-axis magnetometer  unit that was included in the GPS box.
