Hi all,
Signals from Triton-1 have been heard during the first pass over The Netherlands at 08:46UTC! :) The satellite is in safe mode, as expected, transmitting its safe mode CW beacon. All safe mode telemetry looks nominal at this stage. Signals from both radios have been heard, the downlink frequencies are a couple of kHz above their nominal frequencies due to radio temperature which is slightly low. Reception reports are welcome, please see http://www.isispace.nl/HAM/ for information on how to submit reports.
We will keep you posted!
On behalf of the Triton-1 team,
Wouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ
