Subject: [AMSAT-BB] Help receiving GENESIS satellites - launch Friday 3, Sept , 01:00 UTC
Dear friends,
After a year waiting, finally this Friday 3 at 01:00 UTC our digital GENESIS satellites will be launched from Vanderberg AFB aboard Firefly's Alpha rocket in its maiden flight. These satellites are ASK (OOK) and CW repeaters. They transmit a lot of telemetry and also 19 different CW greeting messages in english and spanish.
We would like to ask you all to please try to receive them as any information about their transmisions would be very valuable for us. These are the first satellites we build by ourselves and we need to learn everything we can of them. Waterfalls, audio USB receptions or IQ files would be very appreciated. Please send them to [email protected] or to [email protected]. We will send you a nice QSL.
Initial keplerians are listed below. We expect to provide accurate ones a pair of days after the launch.
