Hi All,
The predicted TLE for TIsat-1 is as follows:
TIsat-1
1 99998U 10034Y   10193.17708333  .00002592  00000-0  35304-3 0 00007
2 99998 098.1177 252.3288 0008033 272.0048 315.2117 14.78702228001648
Its beacon and downlink operate at 437.305 MHz. The full details for
modes and scheduling can be found at

Hi All,

As I mentioned back in April, the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) at the
...
University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) has
...
arranged for the launch of two satellites as part of the Nanosatellite
...
Launch Service 6 (NLS-6) cluster payload on the PSLV-C15 from the Indian
...
Space Research Organization.  Two satellites are part of NLS-6: AISSat-1
...
and TIsat-1.
...
...
The launch countdown for PSLV-C15 has begun, and it is on track to
...
launch on July 12, 2010 at 03:52:00 UTC. The window is -0/+10 min, i.e.
...
from 03:52:00 to 04:02:00 UTC.
...
...
AISSat-1 is built by SFL for the Norwegian Defence Research
...
Establishment (FFI), and it is intended to demonstrate a new maritime
...
AIS receiver that has been developed by FFI.
...
...
TIsat-1 is a 1 kg CubeSat built by students and staff at University of
...
Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI). TIsat-1 uses amateur
...
radio frequencies and has CW and data beacons. Details and frequencies
...
can be found at
...
http://www.spacelab.dti.supsi.ch/tiSat1.html
...
...
More detail on the spacecraft can be found below from my original post.
...
...
We will have an IRC discussion channel during launch and the early
...
operations phase.
...
Server: utias-sfl.net
...
Port: 6667 (default)
...
Channel: #nls6-discussion
...

I will send out the predicted TLEs later today.

Hi All,
...
...
...
...
As you may have heard, the PSLV-C15 flight has been delayed. The Indian
...
...
Space Research Organization issued the following statement:
...
...
...
...
The launch of ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15)
...
...
fixed for may 9, 2010 has been rescheduled. A marginal drop in
...
...
the pressure in the second stage of the vehicle was noted
...
...
during the mandatory checks carried out on the PSLV-C15
...
...
vehicle. The new date for the launch of PSLV-C15 mission will
...
...
be decided after preliminary results of the analysis are
...
...
obtained.
...
...
...
...
PSLV-C15 is planned to launch India's Cartosat-2B, an Algerian
...
...
satellite ALSAT-2A, two nano satellites NLS 6.1 and NLS 6.2
...
...
from the University of Toronto, Canada, and STUDSAT, a
...
...
satellite built by students from academic institutions in
...
...
Kamataka and Andhra Pradesh.

NLS 6.1 refers to AISSat-1 and its XPOD separation system. Similarly,
...
...
NLS 6.2 refers to TIsat-1 and its XPOD.
...
...
...
...
Since I believe some people on this list are looking forward to
...
...
receiving TIsat-1's beacon, I'll post updates when we learn more.

About AISSat-1
...
...
...

...
...
...
AISSat-1 is built by SFL for the Norwegian Defence Research
...
...
...
Establishment (FFI). It is intended to demonstrate a new maritime AIS
...
...
...
receiver that has been developed by FFI. The AIS receiver will be used
...
...
...
to monitor ship traffic in Norwegian waters. The design of AISSat-1 is
...
...
...
based on SFL Generic Nanosatellite Bus (GNB).
...
...
...
...
...
...
The spacecraft has a main structure measuring 20 cm by 20 cm by 20 cm
...
...
...
and it is stabilized in three-axes using reaction wheels. It has a fixed
...
...
...
46 cm long VHF payload monopole antenna for the AIS receiver and four
...
...
...
UHF uplink monopole antennas for the command receiver. The downlink in
...
...
...
the S-Band. AISSat-1 has an overall dimension of 80 cm by 45 cm by 37 cm
...
...
...
and an overall mass of 6.5 kg. AISSat-1 will be secured to the launch
...
...
...
vehicle using the XPOD GNB separation system.
...
...
...
...
...
...
AISSat-1 is not an amateur satellite and, as such, has coordinated
...
...
...
appropriate frequencies. Its ground segment is located at Svalbard and
...
...
...
its control centre is at FFI, near Oslo, Norway.
...
...
...
...

About TIsat-1
...
...
...

...
...
...
TIsat-1 is a 1 kg CubeSat of 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm and is built by
...
...
...
students and staff at University of Applied Sciences of Southern
...
...
...
Switzerland (SUPSI). The primary mission objective is to involve
...
...
...
students in systems engineering, development and test with a very
...
...
...
challenging project and to provide students and staff at SUPSI with
...
...
...
space mission knowledge. TIsat-1 will monitor the durability of material
...
...
...
probes exposed to space environment, will test a micro electromechanical
...
...
...
device and will validate the redundant, fault tolerant hardware and
...
...
...
firmware design of the bus.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Two monopole antennas (VHF and UHF) will be deployed after separation.
...
...
...
Housekeeping and payload data will be communicated to the ground as
...
...
...
orbital data profiles. TIsat-1 will be secured to the launch vehicle
...
...
...
using the XPOD Single separation system.
...
...
...
...
...
...
TIsat-1 communicates over amateur radio frequencies, as coordinated
...
...
...
through the IARU, and they have been working with radio amateurs in
...
...
...
Switzerland during the spacecraft's development. They have a Morse Code
...
...
...
and data beacons. More information can be found at

Future Launches by SFL
...
...
...

...
...
...
SFL has signed its 7th launch contract with ANTRIX for NLS-7 in late
...
...
...
2010/early 2011. NLS-7 will launch the twin-satellite CanX-4 and CanX-5
...
...
...
formation flying mission.
...
...
...
...
...
...
SFL will be signing its 8th launch contract for NLS-8 momentarily, for
...
...
...
the launch of two astronomy nanosatellites: BRITE-Austria (CanX-3A) and
...
...
...
UniBRITE (CanX-3B). NLS-8 will also launch one partner spacecraft.
...
...
...
...
...
...
In addition, SFL is under discussion for NLS-9, NLS-10, and NLS-11
...
...
...
launches in 2011/2012 time frame, and would like to extend an invitation
...
...
...
to spacecraft developers world-wide to join our launches.
