Re: Rokot launch today with RS series sat?
It looks like it's been bumped to 03:12 UTC on July 13th.

Anyone heard anything about this launch? It is listed for today, and with the Yubleiny-2/MiR satellite onboard.

I gather it's got a camera on-board.
Uplink is 145 MHz Downlinks are 435 and 2400 MHz
Orbit 1350 km ?

2.4 is specified as a radiolink freq. The cam is described as a webcam. Says something about an ISS mission specialist. Wonder if it is a real live 2.4 wifi device? Probably not something the average Joe or Jane could receive from home. Woudl be impressive as heck to do it, though. 73 de Norm n3ykf

I think the ISS reference is to the spacecraft manufacturing company of that name http://www.iss-reshetnev.com/ rather than the space station.
I would imagine to stream lo-res video they'd ideally need a data rate of around 115 kbps, WiFi would be over-kill for that. It could be achieved with a signal occupying about a 100-150 kHz bandwidth which could be done on either 435 MHz or 2400 MHz.
The document says command uplink in the Primary 145 MHz band with downlink at 435 MHz but the reference to radiolink for 2400 MHz baffles me - link to what ?
I've not had a chance to look any further other that finding document, there may well be other papers on the satellite written by students/professors somewhere on the web.
Basically I've no idea, I guess we might find out on the 13th.

I guess it is too much to hope for a transponder on any of the Russian satellites these days. Such a shame as it is a great orbit.
