Mir-Sat-1 will be deployed from the ISS Tuesday at 10.55 UTC by JAXA. This satellite will support an AX25 digipeter and images broadcast with the pacsat protocol. The images will be taken by its camera and stored in the onboard file system. Amateur stations will be able to request the directory of files and request the broadcast of images using a suitable ground station. Many thanks to Jean Marc and the amateurs on Mauritius for collaborating and getting Amateur Radio included on this mission.
I have updated the Pacsat ground station to support Mir-Sat-1. See my post here:
https://www.g0kla.com/workbench/2021-06-18.php. If you use a GNU Radio tool chain then Dani has updated gr-satellites to support Mir-Sat-1. SatNogs is adding Mir-Sat-1 to its decoders and will also store the received telemetry. If you come up with your own decoder then please forward to SatNogs.
Use the ISS Keps initially to track it. There is an award for the first telemetry.
Feel free to ask any questions.
