The AMSAT-UK “Satellite Weekend” will be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, England over 3 days from Friday 25th until Sunday July 27th and is open to all.
On the Sunday there will be several presentations on the GENSO project. The aim of this project is to automatically collect Digital Telemetry Data from Amateur Radio and Educational satellites. Currently the Amateur packet standard AX.25 is used by most satellites although one satellite under construction is planning to use D-STAR a trend which is likely to continue.
