The expected orbit altitude is 300 km with an inclination of\n137 degrees.\n\nAs many of you know, this will be the second attempt of Firefly to reach\norbit after the first attempt made in September 2021 and which had to be\naborted after two minutes of flight, causing our previous GENESIS-N and\nGENESIS-L to be lost, among others.\n\nThese new GENESIS have a more powerful on-board computer than their\npredecessors and updated software that allows FM voice repeater\nfunctionality, AFSK/FSK non-regenerative repeater up to 2400 bps, FSK\nregenerative repeater up to 50 bps, CW, digitized voice pre-recorded FM and\nFSK telemetry at 50 bps. The correct retransmission of AX25 / APRS frames\nover FM up to 2400 bps has been verified in the laboratory.\n\nA small drawback we still have is the antenna deployment mechanism, that is\nthe first version that was made and requires a plenty charged battery. The\nsatellites have been stored for several months, so it is a weak point.\nHopefully it will work.\n\nThese satellites also have the names of ASTROLAND-1 and ASTROLAND-2 to say\nthanks to the sponsorship of the project by the Astroland Planetary Agency.\nWe also thank the private companies and Universities that helped in the\nproject.\n\nAs on the previous occasion, two experimental propellants are flown,\nalthough this time they are from the Madrid company IENAI Space and, unlike\nthe previous GENESIS mission, they use a liquid ionic fuel. Only the one\nfrom GENESIS-J is functional. The one from GENESIS-G carries the\nelectronics but without the fuel.\n\nThe frequencies coordinated with IARU are the following:\n\nGENESIS-G/ASTROLAND-1\n145.875 MHz uplink, Modes: FM voice (no subtone) and FSK 50 bps, AFSK,\nAX.25, APRS 1200 / 2400 bps\n436.888 MHz downlink, Modes: FM voice, CW, FSK 50 bps, FM voice beacon with\nAM2SAT callsign\n\nGENESIS-J/ASTROLAND-2\n145.925 MHz uplink, Modes: FM voice (no subtone) and FSK 50 bps, AFSK,\nAX.25, APRS 1200 / 2400 bps\n436.666 MHz downlink, Modes: FM voice, CW FSK 50 bps, SSTV Robot 36, FM\nvoice beacon with AM3SAT callsign\n\nWe encourage all of you to try to receive their first transmissions once\nthe first keplerians are available.\n\nThis flight will be streamed by Everyday Astronaut:\nhttps://everydayastronaut.com/\n\nMore information on the Firefly website:\nhttps://firefly.com/alpha-flight-2-to-the-black/\n\n73,\n\nFelix EA4GQS - AMSAT EA team\n\n\n", "attachments": [ { "email": "https://mailman.amsat.org/hyperkitty/api/list/[email protected]/email/DYML55ZOZHCENHKXXYTNYA34BPEUTZCM/", "counter": 2, "name": "attachment.html", "content_type": "text/html", "encoding": "utf-8", "size": 2921, "download": "https://mailman.amsat.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/message/DYML55ZOZHCENHKXXYTNYA34BPEUTZCM/attachment/2/attachment.html" } ] }
