The answers to a couple of questions from Jon VU2JO:
1. When is it likely to be operational?
We anticipate a launch taking place within the next 24 months but we cannot be more specific at this stage
2. What percentage of time is expected to be devoted to FM transponder activities?
The CONOPS plan (CONcept of OPerationS) has not yet been finalised. However the initial thoughts would
be to follow what was used initially on FUNcube-1. Essentially when the spacecraft is in daylight -then
educational telemetry would be the primary mode. When the spacecraft is in eclipse then the transponder
would be active. Of course holiday periods and other special events could flex this overall plan.
