About IPoS-TDsM

Interoperability Protocol over Satellite – Technology Demonstration Mission: Apolink's first relay cubesat, launched on SpaceX's July 7, 2026 rideshare. Under a first-of-its-kind FCC experimental license it receives S-band signals from partner satellites (initially NuSpace's NuLink satellites) and forwards them to ground stations, as a precursor to a planned 32-satellite relay network. GomSpace supplied the RF subsystem.
