I think I've gathered enough information about this to get a little excited. Shin-En 2 is going to be launched with Hayabusa-2 from Japan early November 30 UTC on an Earth escape trajectory, Along with Artsat-Despatch. Shin-En 2 carries a 800mw Mode J transponder and 800mw WSJT beacon. It looks like there will be a pass before it gets too far out right after launch, where the range is 20k-30k km for me in Florida. This will be much, much weaker than FO-29, but it might be workable with a AO-13 class station early on the first day or two. I'll be up for the launch and the first window around 2AM EST on the morning of the 1st. It'd be nice to have some stations to work if it's possible!

A diagram indicating the position when Shin-En 2 will be deployed has been copied to http://www.amsat.org/?attachment_id=3564 I hope to put together a post for the AMSAT website front page tonight with more details.
We should be able to use the Artsat-Despatch tracker for both satellites, at least in the beginning: http://api.artsat.jp/pass/

Shin-En 2 not have a Mode J transponder. We can use ‘A system’ for F1D uplink/downlink. CWID will be transmit by the B system. Format is: http://leo.sci.kagoshima-u.ac.jp/KSAT-HP/Shin-en2_Comm_E.html More information will be available soon.

So it is a demod/remod fsk data repeater? Please give us more description of the "F1D" transponder.
I cannot WAIT for the Virginia Tech super ground station to be up and running. My office is covered up in boxes with PoP (pile of parts). I had hoped to have it up and running through 70cm before Thanksgiving. Just too much to do.

Thank you for the update. Was the transponder ever part of the design, or was there a misunderstanding in the IARU filing?

I do not know the details.
It seems that; The transponder is a part of the design. But, under the Japanese regulation, it can not be use. It will take a long time for the negotiation with Internal Affairs and Communi cations Japan. So, they gave up the use of transponder.
