Hi Graham, G3VZV

Edusat has been built by students of the university "La Sapienza" in Roma Italy but since no technical informations has been released and it transmit only telemetry in GMSK when over Roma it seems that Edusat is not of interest for the satellite amateur community but without the coordination of the IARU Frequency Coordination Panel it seems that Edusat is another bad strategy to use our frequency for private use without to pay for.

Hi all,

We understand that the Edusat spacecraft from Italy has been successfully launched today from Yasny on a DNEPR launcher.

It has apparently been granted an experimental licence by the Italian Telecommunications Ministry to transmit on 435.750MHz but this frequency

was

not submitted for coordination by the the IARU Frequency Coordination

Panel.

We understand that it may only be transmitting when over Rome and that it will use 9k6 GMSK
