VITA exceeded the goals outlined in the grant, especially in the development of networks of ground stations which can ultimately uplink to PACSAT. The University of Surrey (UK) designed and constructed the store and forward payloads. VITA demonstrated and helped install terrestrial networks in several countries for various agencies. This document is the second deliverable item under the VITA PACSAT Payload Contract (SST 88/157). This Prototype Report describes the design and construction of the Prototype PACSAT payload, which will be used for in-orbit tests on UoSAT satellite. This Report also notes how the goals set forth in the Preliminary System Specification have been met in the Prototype Payload design. The most recent formal report under this contract was the Preliminary System Specification of 25 March 1988. After that report, the in-orbit test opportunity for the VITA PACSAT Payload was re-scheduled. A review of the new test mission is presented in Section 2.
