QR2 is focused on equipping the satellite for a mission. These scenarios might or might not require STK. It is common for STK to be unused in these scenarios, but often advanced functions of STK are required to properly outfit a satellite for a given mission. Common needs for STK are: Access Times, Lighting Times, Link Budget, and Area Coverage. QR2 often requires students to balance a budget or two (e.g. a 'power budget' or 'data budget'). Often Exporting CSVs can be extremely helpful in QR2. **User note: for Pro scenarios requiring expanded STK many of the needed reports are exported as CSVs for the user to do their analysis, however the video lesson will show how these reports are generated and exported**

A video that gives a rundown of the suggested items from StellarXplorers' suggestions for the upcoming Qualifier Round 2. These items will be updated onto the ISAT website in appropriate locations in the near future. For now, these items are introduced and suggestions/examples given for how to approach each topic. QR2 is upon us: Tenye wa chesh gut!
