Where will the money go to the sponsors of the moon satellite project

It's time to tell where we intend to spend the funds that have allocated more than a thousand sponsors who supported the development project of the lunar microsatellite . Total collected 1.75 million rubles, and try to share them.

Do not forget that we will not receive the full amount indicated on the Boomstarter page. From it still subtract 13% - income tax and commissions of the site and the bank. I hoped that part of the funds raised could be transferred in cash to those professionals who would be directly involved in the preparation of the project, but in fact it turns out that all the money will be spent on the purchase of equipment and organizational expenses. Therefore, the project participants will do the bulk of their work on their own enthusiasm.

As I mentioned earlier , the issue of transmitting data from a satellite to Earth is one of the key issues, so the project team is already starting to develop the necessary communication tools: an onboard radio complex and a laser transmitter. I stress that the indicated amounts are not the cost of manufacture, but only the minimum costs necessary to start development. On this basis, costs are formed as follows:

Project Expertise

Examination of the project, carried out by the Roscosmos division certified for such activities.
From 500 tr.

Laser data transmission system

a) Samples of avalanche photodiodes for the receiver.
b) Samples of LNA chips (low-noise amplifiers) for photodiodes.
c) Samples of narrow-band filters for laser radiation (at the receiver).
d) FPGA board . 2 pieces, for placement on the receiver and transmitter.
e) Samples of diode lasers. So far, no space application, only for development stages.
e) Motorized platform for the receiver - HEQ5skyscan, for testing the work with mobile targets.
g) Electro-optical modulator - for a pulsed laser transmitter. The price of the device is 5775 euros, so for now we do not include it in the budget. Although later still have to take, if we continue to develop a laser.
About 150 tr. (without the item "g").

Onboard radio complex

a) Spectrum analyzer up to 12 GHz. Configuring receiving and transmitting equipment. You can BU.
b) Equipment for measurement. Configuring receiving and transmitting equipment.
c) Electronic components and associated costs for the development of a UHF command radio link simulator.
d) Electronic components and associated costs. To develop prototypes of command and high-speed radio lines.
About 300 tr.

Organizational part

As you can see, before the launch of the satellite is still very far away, so any support will not be superfluous. The campaign on Boomsterter has already ended, but later, when we decide on the legal form of our association, we will open an account where it will be possible to transfer funds directly.
