The target orbit has the CubeSat at an altitude of 435 km and an inclination of 45 degrees. The satellite will be above 75 percent of the free electrons in the ionosphere and make roughly four fly-overs of the primary Australian radio telescope per day, with a similar coverage of radio telescope sites in South Africa and North America.
