Where does the moon satellite project sponsors go
It's time to tell you where we intend to spend the funds that have been allocated by more than a thousand sponsors who supported the development of the lunar microsatellite project . In total we collected 1.75 million rubles, and we will try to divide them.
Do not forget that we will not receive the full amount indicated on the Boomstarter page. 13% will also be deducted from it - income tax and site and bank commissions. I was hoping that part of the funds raised could be transferred in cash to those specialists who will 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 the work on their own enthusiasm.
As I told before, 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 communications: an on-board radio complex and a laser transmitter. I emphasize - these amounts are not the cost of manufacturing, but only the minimum costs necessary to begin development. Based on this, the costs are formed as follows:
Examination of the project
Examination of the project, conducted by the division of Roscosmos, 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 pcs., For placement on the receiver and transmitter.
e) Samples of diode lasers. Not yet for space applications, only for development stages.
f) Motorized platform for the receiver - HEQ5skyscan, for testing work with moving targets.
g) Electro-optical modulator - for a pulsed laser transmitter. The price of the device is 5775 euros, so for now it is not included in the budget. Although later, you still have to take it if we continue the development of the laser.
About 150 TR (without paragraph "g"). On-
board radio complex
a) Spectrum analyzer up to 12 GHz. Setting up the receiving and transmitting equipment. You can BU.
b) Equipment for measurements. Setting up the receiving and transmitting equipment.
c) Electronic components and associated costs for the development of a simulator of the UHF band radio command line.
d) Electronic components and associated costs. On the development of prototypes of command and high-speed radio lines.

As you can see, the satellite is still very far from launching, so any support will not be superfluous. The Boomsterter campaign 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.
