Good afternoon,
Fox-1D launches in less than 10 hours! ISRO reports that fourth stage fueling is complete, second stage fueling is underway, and the countdown is proceeding nominally. Updated preliminary TLEs for Fox-1D are:
Fox-1D 1 99934U 1801D 18012.18138657 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 19 2 99934 97.5671 73.8300 0006273 277.3678 311.7572 15.21737581 17
Unfortunately the AMSAT website is currently down. We hope it will be working in time to provide launch coverage, but if not, please follow the AMSAT Twitter account (@AMSAT) and AMSAT North America Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/7828379515/) for live updates.
If you have finished setting up your station to collect telemetry (remember that the downlink frequency is 145.880 MHz, if using an SDR, make sure you have set your LO frequency to cover Fox-1D's downlink), then please take a look at the following video explaining the PSLV-C40 mission. Fox-1D is featured prominently among the American satellites on the launch at 5:02 of the video https://www.isro.gov.in/pslv-c40-cartosat-2-series-satellite-mission/pslv-c4...
Live launch video will be available at https://www.isro.gov.in/pslv-c40-cartosat-2-series-satellite-mission/watch-l...
