This week the Peruvian Chasqui-1 was launched on August 18 at 1423 UTC from the ISS. I have added CHASQUI-1, Cat # 40117 to this week's KEP distribution.

"Chasqui-1's beacon on 437.025 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler shift) can transmit either 1200 bps AFSK AX.25 or 9600 bps GMSK. As of August 19, the beacon had not been heard." (courtesy ARRL Bulletin ARLS004,8-19-14)

Sorry about missing the distribution last week. I had a serious illness in the family. Well, it actually was my horse Zafiro (Sapphire) that was ill, but he is part of the family to me. He is OK now, but I just completely forgot about doing the Keplerian elements. I was surprised that no one emailed me about this ommission. If I don't have the KEPs out by Saturday morning, someone please let me know. I always try to get them out on Thursday evening.
