Hi, Trevor and all,

The new satellite is CAS-1. It has completed its frequency coordination.

Read the following url: http://www.amsat.org.uk/iaru/formal_detail.asp?serial=108

The new amateur satellite has been finished. But we have to wait for other payload to be finished before launch. The original planned launch is early this year but that's not going to happen. Updated news is that it will be launched in early 2009.
