F-1 was another one-unit CubeSat that was developed at FPT University and was designed to evaluate an advanced 3-axis magnetometer (SDTM). The 1-Kilogram vehicle included a low-resolution camera, body-mounted solar panels, micro-controllers, temperature sensors and VHF and UHF antennas. 

Tech-Ed-Sat

Space Command ID: 38854
Released from ISS: October 4, 2012
Re-Entry Prediction: May 5, 2013 - 4:45 UTC +/-3 Hours
Inclination: 51.6°
Re-Entry Zone: Unknown

Origin: USA

TechEdSat was a one-unit CubeSat developed at the San Jose State University and performed several technical demonstrations. The vehicle evaluated Space Plug-and-play Avionics (SPA) designed in Sweden and performed a communications experiment utilizing the Iridium and Orbcomm satellite phone network. It had a mass of 1.19 Kilograms and featured a StenSat amateur beacon with 12 cm antenna for communications. Four rod magnets stabilized the satellite so that the Orcomm Antenna faced the sky while the beacon antenna looked down.
