The Vega rocket was launched today 8 amateur satellites

The Vega rocket launched by the ESA space agency has brought us into orbit 8 CubeSatů:

AlmaSat-1, 437.465 MHz, 1200 bps FSK, 407.850 MHz
E-St@r, 437.445 MHz 1200 bps OFF
Goliath, 437.485 MHz 1200 bpx OFF
MaSat-1, 437.345 MHz GFSK 625/1250 bps (demodulator/decoder software), CW
PW-Sat, 435.020 MHz FM uplink, 145.990 MHz DSB downlink
Robusta, 437.325 MHz 1200 bps FM telemetry (data every 1 min, 20 sec. burst)
UniCubeSat, 437.305 MHz 9600 bps FSK XaTcobeo, 437.365 MHz FFSK with AX.25

Cubesat university teams welcome your reports. All observers are invited, to join the transmission of reports via AMSAT-BB, or through the IRC Chat channel on the server irc.freenode.net. After connecting to the server with the command ” /join #cubesat” you get into the CubeSat channel. It is a good habit to enter your Call as identification in the chat.

For those, who do not have tracking software installed on their PC (e.g. excellent Orbitron) AmSat server is available, where is the online prediction

Good luck at “hunting”. Maybe one of them will last us longer than Arissat-1 🙂
73! Petr
