Beijing's new Chang Zheng CZ-11 was launched earlier today from Jiuquan. It carried three satellites believed to have amateur payloads: Tianwang-1A (TW-1A / SECM); Tianwang-1B (TW-1B / NJUST-2); Tianwang-1C (TC-1C / NJFA-1).
Does anyone know the frequencies ?
The IARU Satellite Frequency Coordination site notes they were expected to have VHF and UHF downlinks, see http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/formal_detail.php?serialnum=468
It is understood Beijing plans another launch of an amateur radio payload on October 5 http://amsat-uk.org/2015/09/06/three-ham-radio-launches-planned-by-beijing/
