The ITF-1 CubeSat Project is being managed by Tsukuba University. The university slogan is Imagine The Future - explaining the satellite's name. ITF-1 is also known as YUI meaning bond in Japanese coming from the project concept "Creating the Worldwide Human Community."

The 1U CubeSat uses the 435MHz UHF Band to send telemetry data (temperatures, voltages & its call sign) and morse code by audio frequency modulation to engage people around the world to share the messages received from the spacecraft.

SPORESAT

Object: SPORESAT
Type: 3U CubeSat
NORAD ID: 39681


Purpose: Demonstration of Lab-On-A-Chip, Study of ion channel behavior in plants under the influence of microgravity


Launched: February 27, 2014 - 18:37 UTC
Launch Vehicle: Falcon 9 v1.1 (F9R)
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

Re-Entry Prediction: June 3, 2014 - 15:51 UTC +/-180 Minutes
Re-Entry Zone: Unknown
Developed at Purdue University, SporeSat is a three-unit spacecraft performed scientific experiments to investigate the mechanisms of plant cell gravity sensing. 
The heart of the payload is a lab-on-a-chip device that supports and measures the fern spore ion activity. The experiment looks at the effect of gravity on the reproductive spores of the fern Ceratopteris richardii. This and many other species rely on a complex mechanism to sense gravity and guide their roots to grow down into the soil where nutrient concentrations are high. Calcium channels in the cells that open and close as a function of gravity play an important role in this mechanism. 
Three lab-on-chip devices are used to measure the calcium concentration in real time at each of the variable gravity treatments. One of the devices acts as control being subjected to the ambient microgravity environment. The other two use motors to provide a centrifugal force acting as artificial gravity at two pre-determined levels.
