hello all i found this link to a new satellite with amateur frequency http://www.bluesat.unsw.edu.au/?setMain=http://www.bluesat.unsw.edu.au/conte... any more information ?

G'Day,

BlueSat is _NOT_ a new satellite. Its been under construction since 2000 and has primarily been the vehicle for final thesis for students doing their various engineering degrees at UNSW.

We all hope that it will fly one day but progress is slow since the build team changes nearly every year.

cheers
