Hi All
Amsat India has 2 linear tranponders ready and we Amsat India are asking ISRO for a higher orbit to cover a larger foot print and longer pass duration.
Best regards Pop VU2POP Dir Technical Amsat India
Hi Pop, VU2POP
I am very happy to know that AMSAT India plan to launch a new satellite with 2 linear transponders in a higher orbit covering a larger foot print in comparison of the actual VO-52
VO-52 continually operating with its linear transponders during all available orbits is a reliable satellite for the amateur radio satellite communications and as well for educational purposes.
Congratulations to Amsat India and to ISRO
