Seven CubeSats deployed from Japanese Experiment Module “Kibo” on Thursday,
August 29.
According to the IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination, six of
these satellites, CosmoGirl-Sat, SaganSat0, SAKURA, Binar2, Binar3 and
Binar4, operate on the amateur bands. Three of them carry APRS digipeaters
operating on the world-wide APRS frequency of 145.825 MHz.
