TeikyoSat-3 was a technology demonstrator and microbiology microsatellite intended to research the slime mold life cycle in space. Specifically, the effects of ionizing radiation (20-30 Gy/year) are of special concern. The primary mission is expected to be finished in 10–20 days with the completion of first life cycle of slime mold in space, but mission can be extended to study evolutionary adaptations for a maximum of 1 year. Also, a novel thermal control system capable of keeping a stable (10 °C to 28 °C) temperature in small (20 kg) microsatellite bus is being tested. The satellite is made at Teikyo University (Japan) and has a size of 320x320x370mm. The microsatellite microbiology experimental platform is intended to address issues with cost and uncertain future of experiments based on International Space Station. TeikyoSat-3 also transmit its telemetry uncoded at 473.45 MHz, and any amateur radio operator is welcome to share downlink data.
