Dear all,
this is the GAUSS group which is in charge of Edusat satellite.
We want to calm down Giulio: Edusat mission is carrying on flawlessly. We have communicated with it and he told us that the weather is a bit chilly but the panorama is great.
We have seen that many wrong informations are reported on the web. For example, all the radio frequencies are wrong. Edusat is not a radioamateur satellite and has an experimental license for communicating.
We didn't thought our satellite could be so interesting for the space community. Thank you for giving us so much attention.

Hi to all the members, knowing that Edusat is not pretty a cubesat.., I'm looking for some informations or reports about the bird, because , monitoring the spectrum of UHF and S-Band from the launch to today , NO Signals was received from ground stations in US and EU (same thing for Nigeriasat) is there a problem on the mission? Thanks for any reports 73 de Giulio AB2VY

Yes I also understand that it is not an Amateur Satellite but an Educational Satellite operating with an experimental license on 435.750 MHz.
The website at http://www.gaussteam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i...
Appears to list an Uplink as being in 145 MHz. I do not know if the command uplink station in Rome is operating in 145 MHz using an Amateur or Experimental license.

Ok, So it's not an amateur sat. It is also not an amateur "experiment",so why is it using amateur frequencies? I have read and reread the regulations governing the use of amateur frequencies and all I can find is a vague definition to the effect that the operators should be licensed amateur operators! What is so different that the amateur satellite "service" can use any non disclosed frequencies and modulation techniques to any other "secret communication" systems that are expressly prohibited by the universal amateur regulations? Just my annoyed response, Don ZL1THO.

Hi Dom,
The 70 cm ops may well be perfectly legal. The 2 m use perhaps not.
In Region three, 70 cm is shared. It's not exclusively ours. It's not even primarily ours, Hams are secondary users. As well as radiolocation, it's available for Earth Exploration Satellites. Perhaps that is what this satellite qualifies as.
You can read about this on the RSM website here: http://www.rsm.govt.nz/cms/tools-and-services/publications/public-informatio...
Encryption is permitted (via an exemption) in Amateur bands if the signal is for satellite control.
