Summary
UOSAT 2 (UO-11), also known as UoSAT-OSCAR-11, is a satellite operated by UK's University of Surrey Space Centre (UOS). Launched on March 1, 1984, from Vandenberg Air Force Base's SLC2W using the Delta 3920 launch vehicle, this spacecraft was designed for radio amateur communication. The satellite measures 0.6 meters in length and 0.4 meters in diameter with a span of 6.5 meters due to its antennas. It weighs 60 kilograms both at launch and dry mass, indicating no change in weight post-launch. UOSAT 2 is powered by solar cells and batteries and features a box-shaped body with antenna appendages. The satellite's radar cross-section (RCS) measures 0.4029 square meters.
