Dear Ham friends,
FITSAT-1(NIWAKA) will soon decay. I appreciate if I could receive the last signal report. The beacon signal is 437.250MHz (CW). The last one will be useful to decide the decay position in the world. 73 de Takushi -- Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG FITSAT-project Fukuoka Institute of Technology
Hello Takushi, hello my friends here,
As we were listening the very first passes over western Europe, I and a lot of us here I guess are monitoring the last ones. Unfortunately the last ones... I already listen and record all the passes over head since Sunday 23rd. The signal of the 437.250 MHz beacon is very strong, and the Doppler shift really terrible at mid pass. And of course the time between acquisition and lost very short, about four minutes.
Congratulations to you, Takushi, and to all the staff involved in the Niwaka/FITSAT-1 project at the Fukuoka Instutute of Technology, for the success of this project. Thank you so much for the continuous information we gave us during this experiment.

Dear Mike san,
Thank you very much for the web-page. Does the graph mean altitude of shooting star is 140 km?

Takushi,
FITSAT is now around 230 km altitude. It will probably burn up in the Earth's atmosphere around July 3.

FITSAT-1 was just received over Israel. SATPC32 with 'nasa.all' keplerian elements set predicted time of pass 06:07-06:15 UTC. Actual pass was between 06:14-06:20 UTC

Dear Ham friends,
FITSAT-1 has decayed on 4th July 2013. The last signal was received by JA0CAW at 03:07(UT).
I appreciate all hams who joined our experiments, helped our operations, and sent me many reports.
I could make many friends in the world and enjoyed through FITSAT-1. Though FITSAT-1 became a shooting star, I am very happy now. Thank you very much again all Ham friends.
Very Best 73, de Takushi -- Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG FITSAT-project Fukuoka Institute of Technology
Again, congratulations for the success of this project and thank you so much for all the information you have shared with the amateur world. It was a great adventure for us.
Best 73 my friend Takushi !
