HAM RADIO IN SPACE: CPUT CUBESAT TO LAUNCH END NOVEMBER
A CubeSat designed and built by students at the Cape
Peninsular University of Technology in Bellville, South
Africa, will be launched towards the end of November.
Still known by its engineering name ZA Cube-1, the satellite
will be shipped in the next few weeks to Holland. There it
will be integrated with two other CubeSats in the launch
carrier before being shipped for integrating with the
rocket.
ZA Cube-1 is rare for a ham radio bird in that it carries a
High Frequency transmitter operating on 14.099 MHz in the 20
meter band. Also on-board is a small camera and a telemetry
transmitter. (SARL)
