UKUBE-1 Telemetry
by Peter Kaminski 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hello, since about two weeks I do not receive any telemetry signals from UKUBE-1 at 145.915 MHz. AO-73 on 145.935 MHz is still strong in daytimes and ISS on 145.850 MHz also strong. So RX, antenna and preamp working well on my site ... Is the beacon output of UKUBVE-1 set to low power or is the beacon off? 73 Peter DL9DAK

AESP-14 Deployment Update
by Edson W. R. Pereira 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hello everyone, I just received an update from the AESP-14 team that the AESP-14 cubesat release from the ISS will take place tomorrow at 12:45~12:55 UTC. The satellite should go live transmitting AX.25 telemetry on 437.600 MHz using 9600 bps GMSK modulation (G3RUH standard) 30 minutes after the release. Information about the project, including the telemetry format is available at: http://www.aer.ita.br/~aesp14/ The AESP-14 team would appreciate any information from any amateur that could monitor the downlink frequency. Updates can be sent here on the BB or directly to me at this time. A web page has been designed to process information about the receiving contest being promoted by the Americana Amateur Radio Club. The contest page is available at: http://wabicafe.com.br/aesp14/cram.php 73, Edson PY2SDR

Fajr downlink in 70 cm band
by Nico Janssen 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

All, The Iranian satellite Fajr (i.e. 'Dawn') was launched on 2015-02-02 just before 09:00 UTC from Semnan launch center with a Safir rocket. The 50 kg satellite (40387, 2015-006A), Iran's fourth satellite, has a cold gas thruster, so it can change its orbit. It carries a camera for earth observations. It should have a telemetry downlink on 437.538 MHz and a command uplink in the 2 m band. 73, Nico PA0DLO
