As you may know, KySat-1 along with CubeSats from Montana State University and University of Colorado, will be launched into orbit from Vandenburg AFB on February 23 at 0809 UTC. As with all satellite missions, for us, verifying operation and establishing communication early is critical to mission success. I would also like to invite amateur radio operators to help us establish contact with KySat-1. Information about the beacons, the mission, and the status of the mission can be found at the following link:

Let me know if you have any questions, and check back later for updates and changes to the website as we get closer to launch.
