Hello AMSAT community
some hams have requested information about the upcoming Phonesat mission telemetry format. This is a challenging objective for those who can track and monitor: there are 3 satellites being deployed from the same P-POD and will be released within moments of each other. The systems are timed to not overlap individual station transmissions, so in a single pass, all three should be heard.
For any technical questions, please contact the POC, Oriol Tintore of Phonesat. His contact info is below.

Hello CubeSats and Amateur Radio Operators!
The very first PhoneSat’s will be launching aboard the Antares on April 17 th at 1700 EDT (launch window to April 19th possibly further). We have manifested 2x PhoneSat 1.0 and 1x PhoneSat 2.0 Beta.****
Our orbit is very low (270km x 300km 51.6deg) and we’ll only be up there for 2 weeks! So we’re looking for as many people as possible to help with tracking our satellites!****
If any of you are interested in tracking the satellite please let myself (+the cc’d team) know – your help will be greatly appreciated! ****
All three satellites will be transmitting on *437.425MHz* and TLE’s + more info can be found at www.phonesat.org – consolidated info sheet attached.***
Feel free to tune-in and submit packets to www.phonesat.org ****
Cheers!****
