Hello everyone,
This email is to inform you that the launch of our HADES-R satellite is scheduled for this January 14th on the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission, from Vanderberg in California (USA).
The working frequencies are the following:
*HADES-R:*
Uplink: 145.925 MHz, Modes: FM voice (without subtone) and FSK 200 bps, AFSK, AX.25, APRS 1200 / 2400 bps Downlink: 436.888 MHz downlink, Modes: FM voice, CW, FSK 200 bps-2400 bps
Telemetry will be working initially at 200 bps.
The repeater will not be active at the moment, until the corresponding command is sent, something that may take a few weeks until the correct operation of the satellite is verified.
Please note that on the day of launch our satellite will not be ejected, but the orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) in which it travels, so it will not be released into space for another week or so.
The description of transmissions, the demodulator/decoder for Windows and example wavs to practice reception are available on the website:
