Hello
There is little more than 6 weeks left in which to complete the outstanding commissioning activities on Sumbandila before operations are planned to be handed over in middle-March to the Satellite Application Center, who will then continue to operate the satellite on behalf of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) - owner of the satellite.
Since our progress is currently hampered by the various SA-AMSAT payload activities, we have unfortunately no choice but to temporarily suspend this service on SO-67. We plan to have it "on air" again end-March / beginning Apr this year.
We have so far successfully executed more than 320 payload activations since we started using the SA-AMSAT payload in Q4 2009.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Best regards
Jan-Albert
