LituanicaSAT-2 (LS-2) Telemetry.

 LituanicaSAT-2, Active  with strong  beacon.

 


Following the success of the Lithuanian satellite mission LituanicaSAT-1, NanoAvionics together with Vilnius University took another ambitious step by launching LituanicaSAT-2 satellite. LituanicaSAT-2 is a 3U CubeSat intended for the scientific mission of the “QB50” – a constellation of 50 CubeSats. The “QB50” project is led by the Von Karman Institute (VKI) for fluid dynamics (Belgium), under the European Commission’s research and innovation program FP7 (2007-2013). The project involves 50 institutions all over the world each building their CubeSats that were launched into space during the “QB50” mission.
The scientific aim of “QB50” is to carry out atmospheric research within the lower thermosphere (altitude between 200 and 500 km), which is the least explored layer of the atmosphere.
Despite direct “QB50” aim, LituanicaSAT-2 mission is particularly important for NanoAvionics, because the innovative propulsion system prototype for small satellites developed by NanoAvionics was tested during this mission. The test was run successfully

PY4ZBZ - ROLAND ! Thanks for sending Athenoxat-1 QSL card via Falconsat-3 BBS.

Dear friend OM Roland !!

 Thank you very much for sending me the Athenoxat-1 QSL card via Falconsat-3 BBS.

And many thanks for contribution for collecting frames, and for the nice ATX Decoder (v1.02)

 I received my QSL card via the Athenoxat-1satellite ,

Thanks to  Athenoxat-1 control team, specially my friend Yesie .and to all other friends contributed by collecting Athenoxat-1 beacon frames PY4ZBZ, PW8PM, BX1AD ,YB3MBN, 9V1FC, and 9V1SV.

Athenoxat-1 beacon puzzles round 3

Dear friends, 

hope this email finds you well. I'd like to inform that we've started round 3 of Athenoxat-1 beacon puzzles. 

Beacon puzzles is the regular data beacon from Athenoxat-1 with specific type 3. 

It contains 10 frames per burst every minute (30sec interval alternating with Morse CW).

The kss files containing the frames can be submitted through the usual address athenoxat@micro-space.org (or to my email address here). 

Thus with time, we'll be able to construct the complete images with the collected frames. 

Our website will be updated daily and can be viewed here: http://www.micro-space.org/ham.html

For the stations around our control station (in Singapore), please keep tuning in as the satellite stays beaconing although it may seem appear busy in comm.operation. 

The only apparent change is that you may not hear the Morse CW once our comm.operation starts.

Athenoxat-1 is orbiting at equatorial orbit with 15-deg inclination.

Based on what we've seen, stations as far as plus/minus 35deg latitude (with good clearance horizon to horizon) are able to receive Athenoxat-1 data. 

Please let us know if you need any clarifications or help in setting up some software for receiving Athenoxat-1 packets. 

Please feel free to inform others who may be interested and able to listen to Athenoxat-1. 

Thank you in advance for listening.
