The University of Maine's MESAT-1 carrying a telemetry transmitter and
linear transponder provided by AMSAT and experiments designed by schools in
Maine will head into orbit as early as late this week as part of NASA's
ELaNa 43 launch.
The ELaNa 43 (Educational Launch of Nanosatellites 43) mission includes
eight CubeSats flying on Firefly Aerospaceâ€Ös Alpha rocket for its “Noise of
Summer” launch from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Space Force Base,
California. The 30-minute launch window will open at 9 p.m. PDT Wednesday,
June 26 (12 a.m. EDT Thursday, June 27).
Telemetry can be received using the same FoxTelem program that was used for
most of AMSAT's recent payloads. We urge readers to download the latest
FoxTelem (V1.12z3) from
https://www.amsat.org/tlm/leaderboard.php?id=0&db=FOXDB. This program will
decode telemetry from MESAT-1 (as well as AO-91) and forward the results to
AMSAT's central server for use by AMSAT engineering as well as by Maine
engineers and students.
MESAT-1 will study local temperatures across city and rural areas to
determine phytoplankton concentration in bodies of water to help predict
algal blooms and also contains a linear transponder for amateurs to use.
Watch ANS and other media for information about when the transponder will
be activated.
