OSSI 1 was a Cubesat of size 1U.
The satellite had a radio beacon in the 2 meter band (145.980 MHz) and AX.25 communication in the 70 centimeter band (437.525 MHz). It should flash the signals sent by radio amateurs to earth with light-emitting diodes in Morse code . Such an experiment has already been carried out with the Japanese satellite FITSAT-1 .
