Successful launch of Amateur Radio CubeSats
Following Wednesday's successful PSLV-C14 launch, telemetry has been received from all four Amateur Radio satellites.
The launch took place at September 23 06:21 UTC from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. By 12:00 UTC Wouter PE4WJ had reported that signals from all 4 satellites had been received.
When listening for the satellites remember that the frequencies can vary +/- 10 kHz of the nominal frequency during the pass as a result of doppler shift.
SwissCube-1 437.505 MHz CW, 1200 bps AFSK AX.25 packet
BeeSat 436.000 MHz 9600/4800bps GMSK AX.25 packet
UWE-2 437.385 MHz, CW, 1200 bps AFSK AX.25 packet
ITUpSat1 437.325 MHz CW, High speed telemetry
Mike DK3WN has posted details of reception of the CubeSats on his SatBlog which can be found on his excellent website at

Ready, Set, Go!
AMSAT's 40th Birthday Space Symposium is Coming Soon ...
Co-Chairs, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, and Janet Bauer remind you that the 2009 AMSAT Symposium is rapidly approaching! And we hope you can join us, especially given that there are some low-cost airfares out there for those of us in the US.
We have an outstanding venue this year at the Four Points Sheraton at the BWI Airport. Your symposium committee recently did a walk through of this facility. The accommodations and meeting rooms are superb. Frank said, "I do a lot of traveling and I must say that the rooms are absolutely beautiful. You will definitely get a substantial bang for your buck (or Euro, etc.) at this symposium. And planned 40th Anniversary celebratory events will be truly memorable".
So we'd love to see you in "Charm City"-Baltimore Maryland..for the symposium presentations, 40th anniversary celebrations, poster sessions, ARISS Operations Team Meeting, and AMSAT BoD meeting.
Find the full details on-line here at the AMSAT Symposium web site!
You can now register online for the 2009 AMSAT Space Symposium and Annual Meeting
Online registration will disappear on October 5th so do not wait too long!
Our guest speaker is Dr. Martin Collins from the the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. He will talk on "Making the Space Age: The First Fifty Years".
Follow the links from the Symposium page to book your room at the hotel. An 800 number is also available. When booking your room let the operator know that you are with the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation for the special rates. (The telephone staff doesn't seem to know about AMSAT.)
