- Many off the shelf components do work well in space. CubeSats will be in orbit below the high radiation belts. We have had spacecraft with the same technology functioning in orbit now for more than 10 years. - These will transmit at 300-500 mw which is enough to be received with a tracking yagi antenna. Don't tell amateur radio operators what they've been doing for years won't work.
