HAM RADIO IN SPACE: HAMS ASKED TO HELP FIND MISSING F1
CUBESAT
An article published on the AMSAT-UK website reports that
the F Space team at the F-P-T University in Viet Nam are
requesting Amateur Radio operators continue to listen for
their F-1 CubeSat. The mini satellite went missing shortly
after it was deployed from the International Space Station
on October 4 but never heard on Earth.
F 1 was expected to begin transmitting beacon alternatively
on its main and backup channels 30 minutes after deployment.
Its operating frequencies are on 437.485 MHz while in
daylight and 145.980 in satellite darkness.
More information and guide to download F-1 telemetry decoder
can be found at tinyurl.com/f1-info. Decoded data can be
submitted on using a File Transfer Protocol client to thuvt
(at) fpt (dot) edu Dot)vn. Audio recordings are highly
appreciated. (F1 Cubesat Team)

HAM RADIO IN SPACE: ISRAELI GPS CUBESAT BEING BUILT
Israel is planning to launch a student built ham radio
microsat. The Space Duchifat-1 is an experimental and
educational CubeSat being developed and built by students at
the Space Laboratory of the Herzliya Science Centre.
The CubeSat will carry an APRS digipeater operating on
145.825 MHz and a UHF/VHF 1200 bps B-P-S-K transceiver that
can provide a CW beacon and an FM to DSB transponder.
The main mission of the satellite is to transmit real-time
information via packet radio from a Low Earth Orbit using
the Automatic Position Reporting System protocol. The
satellite will allow remote traveler's to access the bird
for worldwide position, status reporting and messaging.
This using simple handheld or mobile radios with omni-
directional whip antennas.
The project is directed by Dr. Ana Heller with support from
the Herzliya city municipality and the Israeli Amateur Radio
Club. At this moment no launch date or orbit details are
available. (ANS)
