●  Camera Mission (CAM) , which will capture images of the Earth from space.
  
●  Automatic Packet Reporting System-Digipeater (APRS-DP), which is an amateur radio based, real-time, local and digital communication system which can receive packets, process them and retransmit them back on the same frequency.   

●  Store and Forward (S&F IoT) Mission, which collects data from specific distributed sensors all around remote locations on Earth, “stores” them in the CubeSat and “forwards”it to a designated ground station once it passes over it.
