Hi,
Will be possible to operate with a simple satellite station (vhf & uhf yagis with preamps)?
How strong the signals can be at this distance? That's farway a lot more than the satellite I use today :) 73 Fabiano Moser. CT7ABD Enviado do meu iPhone

Abyss-2 - from the Japanese language article it looks like it's carrying an amateur radio payload and will launch this December. Does anyone have any further information ? http://amsat-uk.org/2014/09/01/japanese-asteroid-mission-to-carry-amateur-ra...
Also there appears to be a Japanese Lunar Orbiter under development which will carry an amateur radio transponder http://kit-okuyama-lab.com/en/sinen2/sinen2-outline/
