Cygnus is scheduled to depart the ISS on January 13, 2020 and raise its orbit to around 500 km before deploying HuskySat-1 and SwampSat. After deployment, I believe the 1200 bps BPSK beacon on 435.800 MHz (decodable with FoxTelem) will be active. It will then complete its primary mission, expected to last 30 days, testing a pulsed plasma thruster and experimental 24 GHz data transmitter before being turned over to AMSAT for amateur radio operations.

It appears that HuskySat is now in orbit - and from what I understand it won't be until AFTER the Cygnus leaves the ISS that it's released. Is there a timeframe that we should be watching in order to start "listening" for it?
