At the request of Harbin Institute of Technology and Amur State University,
AMSAT has designated ASRTU-1 as ASRTU-OSCAR 123 (AO-123).

ASRTU-1 was launched on November 4, 2024 at 23:18 UTC, on a Soyuz launch
vehicle from Vostochny Cosmodrome, Russia. Built and operated by Harbin
Institute of Technology and Amur State University, the satellite carries a
V/U repeater, UHF SSDV digital image transmitter, and a 10.5 GHz QPSK image
transmitter. All of these payloads have been successfully tested, and the
repeater has been operational for QSOs.
The satellite contains an FM transponder, which is currently operational,
with an uplink of 145.850 MHz (67 Hz CTCSS tone required) and a downlink of
435.400 MHz. After the repeater detects the end of uplink, it will wait for
0.5s. If no new uplink in 0.5s, telemetry will be sent. So make fast QSOs
so the telemetry is less like to interrupt you.
The satellite also contains two cameras with an SSDV downlink for low
resolution images on 436.210 MHz, and a high speed downlink on 10.460 GHz
for high resolution images.
Windows software for decoding telemetry is available at

AMSAT congratulates the Harbin Institute of Technology and Amur State
University, thanks them for their contribution to the amateur satellite
community, and wishes them continued success on this and future projects.
[ANS thanks Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, OSCAR Number Administrator, for the
