The QB50 project will be launching two precursor 2U CubeSats, QB50p1 and
QB50p2, both carrying amateur radio transponder payloads. The launch is
currently planned for May 2014 from the Russian ICBM base at Dombarovsky
near Yasny on a Dnepr rocket manufactured in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. The
satellites will be put into a 650 km Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO).

Ham Video BlankTransmissions Planning
Presently, Ham Video is transmitting permanently a "blank" image and
no audio in configuration 3:
* ARISS antenna 43
* Frequency 2395 MHz
* Symbol rate 1.3 Ms/s
Transmission will continue in this configuration till the end of the week.
Sunday March 23, Ham Video will start transmitting in configuration
4, i.e. 2395MHz and 2.0 Ms/s.
Due to SpaceX docking and related operations, Ham Video blank
transmissions will come to an end March 31.
The last commissioning step will be planned in April or in May 2014.
We will keep you informed on the precise date and time.
Reports on reception of blank transmissions are very welcome.
Reports can be filed via this webpage:
<http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_FSTV/submit.php>http://www.spaceflig
htsoftware.com/ARISS_FSTV/submit.php
Participants using the Tutioune receiving software can record as well
as stream detailed parameters of the received signal.
Please see: <http://www.vivadatv.org/>http://www.vivadatv.org/
Thursday March 20, three ground stations tested chained reception of
Ham Video signals.
Jean Pierre Courjaud reported on this experiment on his website. The
report is available at
