Japanese Asteroid Mission To Carry Amateur Radio
Abyss-2 - from the Japanese language article it looks like it's carrying an amateur radio payload and will launch this December. Does anyone have any further information ? http://amsat-uk.org/2014/09/01/japanese-asteroid-mission-to-carry-amateur-ra...
Also there appears to be a Japanese Lunar Orbiter under development which will carry an amateur radio transponder http://kit-okuyama-lab.com/en/sinen2/sinen2-outline/

Abyss 2 is another name for Shin'En 2 and carries a Mode J linear transponder. http://amsat-uk.org/2014/04/23/shin-en2-to-carry-mode-j-linear-transponder/

There's another amateur radio satellite expected to be on the same launch in December - ARTSAT2:DESPATCH http://amsat-uk.org/2013/11/03/art-and-ham-radio-in-deep-space/

Hi,
Will be possible to operate with a simple satellite station (vhf & uhf yagis with preamps)?
How strong the signals can be at this distance? That's farway a lot more than the satellite I use today :) 73 Fabiano Moser. CT7ABD Enviado do meu iPhone

I'm told they will have a Facebook page active soon. That should provide an opportunity to ask the team questions.
At maximum distance signals are clearly going to be very weak, it may even prove challenging for Moon bounce capable stations.

Hi Bob, all
for tracking Deep Space Object we use ephemeris generated from JPL's Horizons, see here

Dear All,
Here is some information about ARTSAT2:DESPATCH. http://artsat.jp/en/despatch/
You also get additional information from here: http://artsat.jp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/despatch_abstract_en_ver1.0.pdf
ARTSAT2:DESPATCH do not have a transponder, but it will create and transmit the 'Generative Poetry in Space'. They ask that we attempt reception of these very weak signals at our radio sta tions.
