HAM RADIO IN SPACE: EQUISAT HAM-SAT TO CARRY OPTICAL BEAON
Students at the Brown University are developing an amateur
radio satellite called EQUiSat that will carry an
interesting optical beacon. The bird will use a Xenon Flash
Tube that should be visible to the unaided eye of observers
on Earth. A radio beacon is planned to operate in the 435
to 438 MHz range. Launch is hoped for in the 2015 time
frame into an orbit of about 300 kilometers. That should
give the satellite a life-time of a couple of months.

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: BUAA-SAT PLANNED FOTR 2014 LAUNCH
BUAA-SAT is a micro-satellite project developed by the
students of Beijing University carries an amateur radio 435
and 145 MHz FM voice transponder. Plans call for it to be
launched into a 600 by 800 kilometer Sun Synchronous Orbit
in late 2014. Its primary missions are to study the
application of components used in the onboard electronic
system, to demonstrate the coil-able mast deployment
mechanism and to carry out imaging using three CMOS cameras.
