Is this flight software?

No. SIDUS models are educational reimplementations. Cross-check before any flight decision.

Free-space attenuation (ITU-R P.525-5) (International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R)): ITU-R P.525-5 Eqs. (5)–(6): L_bf = 20 log10(4πd/λ); practical form uses d in km and f in MHz with a 32.4 dB constant. SIDUS uses 32.44 dB as an approximation of the same Friis relation.
