The satellite was designed to take advantage of large and growing interest in CubeSats. AMSAT developed a strategy to create a family of CubeSats that would be attractive for flying science missions which would enable partnerships with universities and apply for free launches as science missions. This provided a solution for being unable to fly due to exponentially increasing launch costs. After the science mission, or even during the science mission, the satellite is capable of running its amateur radio transponder. The Fox Engineering Team arrived at a design which enables simultaneous amateur radio and scientific operations. The satellite includes an analog FM repeater that allows simple ground stations using an handheld FM transceiver and a simple antenna to make contacts using the FOX-1A. </div> <div id="adsatellitepage"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8839140430005838" data-ad-slot="6966096404" data-ad-format="auto"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div> <div id="satgraphics"> <table id="tabtracking"> <tr> <td class="tabheader"> Your satellite tracking list </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <center> <form method="POST" name="addsat"> <input type="hidden" name="satid" value="40967"> <input type="hidden" name="satname" value="FOX-1A (AO-85)">  <input type="button" class="sButton" value="Add FOX-1A (AO-85) on your tracking list" onclick='javascript:document.addsat.submit()'/> </form> <form method="POST" name="multisat"> Your tracking list is empty <input type="hidden" name="remove"/> </form> <script> function doit(n) { document.multisat.remove.value=n; document.multisat.submit(); } </script> </center> </td> </tr> </table> <br/> <div id="medianetsatellite">  </div> <center> <script> var norad_n2yo = '40967'; var size_n2yo = 'small'; var allpasses_n2yo = '1'; var map_n2yo = '2'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.n2yo.com/js/widget-tracker.js"></script> </center> <br/> <center><script type="text/javascript"> google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8839140430005838"; google_ad_slot = "4683736009"; google_ad_width = 320; google_ad_height = 100; </script>  <script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></center> </div> <br/> <br/><A HREF="https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2015-058D" target="_blank">NASA's NSSDC Master Catalog</A> <a class="showTip nssdc" href="#"><img src="../img/info.png" width="12" height="12" border="0" alt=""></a> <br/> <br/> <B>Two Line Element Set (TLE):</B> <a class="showTip tle" href="#"><img src="../img/info.png" width="12" height="12" border="0" alt=""></a> <div id="tle"> <pre> 1 40967U 15058D 24329.37557320 .00008040 00000-0 70160-3 0 9996 2 40967 64.7763 243.3946 0185928 255.9412 102.0968 14.85048127 28751 </pre> Source of the keplerian elements: Caltech <br/><br/> </div> </td> </tr> </table>  <div id="footer"> <table id="footer">  <tr> <td align="center"> <A HREF="/about/?a=links">Links</A>  <A HREF="/about/?a=terms">Terms of Use</A>  <A HREF="/about/?a=privacy">Privacy Policy</A>  <A HREF="/about/?a=feedback">Contact Us</A> <br/>Copyright © N2YO.com.
