BRICSat-2 (Ballistically Reinforced Communication Satellite 2), or USNAP1, was an experimental amateur radio satellite from the United States Naval Academy that was developed in collaboration with George Washington University. BRICSat-2 was the successor to BRICSat-P. AMSAT North America's OSCAR number administrator assigned number 103 to this satellite; in the amateur radio community it was therefore called Navy-OSCAR 103, short NO-103.[5]

Mission

BRICSat-2 was launched on June 25, 2019 with a Falcon Heavy from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, United States, as part of Mission STP-2 (Space Test Program 2) as one of 24 satellites.
