Hi Drew, Thank you for your wishes…

Well it is a Nanosat. Shouldn't have called it a cubesat… my bad… As far as I am know, there is no possibility of a secondary communications mission. I have graduated from the University so the information I have is kind of limited. They have asked me and other Ham radio operators to track the satellite. Hence, I have posted it here. Will let you you if I hear anything about a secondary communications mission.

Also, Pete, WB2OQQ, reported that he was not able to load the TLEs into his tracking program. I believe the email system has reformatted the keps. So now the keps can be downloaded from here: http://dinesh.cyanam.net/dl/SRMSAT_TLEs.txt

Hi Dinesh,

Is this a cubesat, or a microsat? The webpage indicates it is 286mmx286mmx294mm and 10kg, which is more the size of AO-51 than a 100mm^3 cubesat.

Is there any possibility of a secondary amateur communications mission?

Good Luck with the launch.

73, Drew KO4MA
