For anyone interested, San Jose University with NASA Ames is having TechEdSat deployed from the ISS Thursday at 910AM PDT. The satellite will start transmitting 40 minutes after deployment. They are asking for telemetry reports to be sent to:
http://techedsat.com/index.php?option=com_proforms&view=form&jid=1&Itemid=189 The TechEdSAT (CubeSat) has a website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechEdSat Also: http://techedsat.com/ TechEdSat transmits a heartbeat packet over amateur radio every 4 seconds. These packets are 122 ASCII character AX.25 packets. Amateur band radio frequency is 437.465 MHz. *It will have the same orbital elements as the ISS at least for the initial period. Thanks, Ivan KD4HBO
