Hi Nick, You mentioned KiwiSat, my understanding is that they needed to raise $1 million to buy a launch into a 700 km orbit. I am not aware that they've raised it yet. I'm aware of these satellites planning to launch this year: A 2013 Yasny Dnepr Launch should have - FUNcube-1 435/145 MHz

FOX-1 with a 145/435 MHz singe channel FM transponder at end of the year, can anyone confirm if it's still year-end ? We are not manifested yet. We passed on a launch that was offered earlier this year because it was only to ISS altitude. So, we don't have an exact date, or even a vehicle

Fox-1 will have a 70 cm uplink and 2 meter downlink (U/V). The design should make it as easy to work as a V/U FM satellite, with your handheld antenna and HT setup in mind. Jerry Buxton N0JY On 2/15/2013 9:56 AM, Raydel Abreu Espinet wrote: Hello, I have a little question here. Will FOX-1

Bad news Raydel... The Cuban's HAM regulation authority forbid us to TX on the general Satellite segment of 70cm... I see a battle with ACS coming... hi hi hi (Do you remember the digital battle, in that we won...) I will try to search and match some of the recent future sats to see in

Yes, Kevin, point made. The only way we can change that is by working closely together with these projects and having a tangible influence in their hardware and software development. Out of curiosity, I always wondered why AMSAT would not offer semi complete communication packages, (Data, Rx, Tx)
