V-R3x is mission consisting of three small satellites to demonstrate new technologies and techniques for radio networking and navigation.
The V-R3x tech demo will demonstrate low-cost and low-SWaP autonomous high-speed cross-linking, ranging, coordinated radiation measurements, and relative topology recovery utilizing three 1U CubeSat. The heart of the tech demo relies on an experimental S-band radio to perform the high-speed cross-link and ranging experiment.
An accompanying high altitude balloon flight will achieve the distance required to verify the link budget parameters and ranging performance.
