The ORS4 mission carrying 13 small satellites appears to be a go for this evening US time. See the spaceflightnow.com lead story.

One of the cubesats is PrintSat which has a 3D printed structure and will measure the performance of that material over a three year mission. PrintSat is an experimental satellite with a downlink at 437.325 MHz. It will initially beacon every 1 minute with three packets of telemetry data. The modulation is 9600 bps GMSK and the packets are AX.25. The output power is about 1.4W into a whip so it should be pretty easy to hear. We do not have a general use telemetry decoder but we would very much appreciate reports of reception of the beacon. If you hear it please send a report to [email protected]
