Amicalsat cubesat to be launched on 19 June
The Vega rocket (VV16) is scheduled to leave Kourou on 19 June 2020 01:51:10 GMT with 53 satellites on board.
One of the satellites that will be leaving is the *Amicalsat *satellite built by the CSUG (Centre Spatial Universitaire Grenoblois). The measurements made by the satellite will be available to all. They will allow radio amateurs to use them for propagation predictions.
The project's website (in english) has just been put online: http://amicalsat.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/.
The Amsat-Francophone supported this project: http://site.amsat-f.org/amicalsat/
A software (Linux & Windows) is provided for decoding the telemetry and sending it to the database (SatNogs). The user manual is available (in english)
https://code.electrolab.fr/xtof/josast/-/blob/master/ApplicationAmicalsat/sr...
*Beacon* *Frequency* *Modes* *Callsign* UHF 436.1 MHz AFSK 1200 RS17S S band 2,415.3 MHz GFSK 1000 kb/s http://amsat-f.org/AMSATLIST/SatellitePage/UK/0Amicalsat.html
Reports are welcome. Thank you for your help.

I can't find any information about IARU frequency coordination for this satellite. Does it have any?
In any case, 436.1 MHz is a potential interference problem for Falconsat-3.
Please provide more info. Thanks.

Coordination is here: http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/finished_detail.php?serialnum=686
FS-3 is at 435.1 MHz, so there shouldn’t be any issue there.

Oh, my bad, misread the frequency. (Need more coffee early in the morning). --Hans

If you want to be concerned about coordination, on the same launch is 'TRISAT.
They requested coordination, and were *denied*: http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/declined_detail.php?serialnum=675
However, if you look at the TRISAT website: https://www.trisat.um.si/ (scroll down near the bottom) ... we find they are transmitting on 435.6215 MHz.
