Correction:
When Cygnus leaves the ISS (Feb 2019?) it will deploy MYSAT-1 with (CHEFSat non-amateur) above the ISS and KickSat-2 carrying about 100 Sprite satellites below the ISS https://www.thenational.ae/uae/science/we-have-lift-off-uae-built-mysat-1-su...
Al-Farabi 2 nanosatellite with 1 watt 436.500 MHz CW and GMSK-4800 appears to be on the SSO-A mission now expected to launch early December. They say the first 10 radio amateurs to email reception reports will receive a memorial plaque free of charge http://www.southgatearc.org/news/2018/november/al-farabi-2-nanosatellite.htm

Nice short followup on those CubeSats that accompanied the recent Mars lander.

"The basic CubeSat unit is a box roughly 4 inches (10 centimeters) square. Larger CubeSats are multiples of that unit. MarCO's design is a six-unit CubeSat - about the size of a briefcase -- with a stowed size of about 14.4 inches (36.6 centimeters) by 9.5 inches (24.3 centimeters) by 4.6 inches (11.8 centimeters)."
Being a bit pedantic, wouldn't that be a CubiodSat? :-)

This whole program has been SO COOL! Hopefully, NASA wasable to learn some helpful things from the Amateur CubeSat activities.It was amazing to read that signals from the MarCO SATs take8 MINUTES to get back to Earth!! Imagine having a QSO usingsomething like that? LOL 73, Bob K8BL On Wednesday, November 28, 2018, 11:50:22 AM EST, christy hunter cchunter3@mindspring.com wrote:

Sounds like an FT8 QSO!
