LignoSat CubeSat deployment information from the ISS


Date and time of deployment: December 9, 2024, 20:30 JST/11:30 UTC +-90min

Downlink frequency of CW beacon: 435.82MHz +-Doppler

Please track the satellite using the orbital elements (TLE) of the ISS for a while after deployment. As time passes, it will gradually fly ahead of the ISS.

The first path in Japan is expected to be around 06:30 JST on December 10th

The antenna is scheduled to be deployed 30 minutes after deployment, so if the deployment is early, it may be possible to receive the satellite during the first pass in eastern North America (around 12:20 UTC).

If the deployment is late, it may be possible to receive the satellite during the first pass in the EU (around 12:37 UTC).

A release event is scheduled to take place on the JAXA YouTube channel.

Please send your reception reports to jh3bum@jamsat.or.jp thank you.
