15 Canadian CubeSats to launch from 2021

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) report 15 CubeSat satellites are being built
by students in Canada, all are expected to carry amateur radio payloads.
The RAC post says:
The Canadian Space Agency has been providing support and guidance to 15
teams of university and college students across Canada who are building
satellites. These satellites are in the “CubeSat” format, based on a
standardized architecture of 10 centimetre cubes. All 15 proposed
satellites will be deployed from the International Space Station (ISS),
possibly starting in 2021.
RAC is involved in explaining how, and under what conditions, Amateur Radio
can be used for communications with these spacecraft, and a requirement of
the frequency coordination process with the International Amateur Radio
Union is an endorsement from RAC.
We were aware that the suspension of university classes due to the global
pandemic could affect the teams progress, but I am pleased to report that
all of the teams have chosen to use Amateur Radio communications and we
continue to receive requests from them, although at a slower rate than in
the past. About half of the teams have now received endorsements for their
projects from RAC and have sent their proposals to the IARU for frequency
coordination.
Designing and constructing CubeSats is a complicated, multi-year process.
These projects will develop the students skills in many facets of
engineering, science, technology, business and project management. Once in
orbit, the satellites will also assist pure and applied scientific research
and some may offer facilities that Amateurs across Canada and around the
world can use.
