This page includes additional information on the planned deployment
of the cubesats from the P-POD canisters: “Unusually the CubeSats
will not be deployed straight after launch. All four CubeSats:
OSSI-1, BEESAT-3, SOMP, and BEESAT-2 will be deployed around 10:45
UTC on Sunday, April 21. Until then orbital maneuvers will be car-
ried out to achieve a circular orbit at 575 km altitude.”
OSSI-1 Deployed on April 19

145.980 MHz CW, 437.525 MHz 1k2
OSSI-1, the Open Source Satellite Initiative satellite is a cubesat
developed by Hojun Song DS1SBO. In addition to the radio beacons
OSSI-1 also carries a 44 watt LED optical beacon to flash Morse Code
messages to observers on Earth.
The development of the satellite has been documented on the Open
Source Satellite Initiative Blog http://opensat.cc/blog/ and the
Wiki http://opensat.cc/wiki/

BEESAT 3, BEESAT 2, SOMP, AIST and Dove-2 are expected to be separat-
ed from BION M1 in two batches on Sunday, April 21.

Downlink on 437.485 MHz including CW, 1k2 and 9k6 BPSK, AX25 FSK,
and AO40 standard 400bit/s BPSK
The Student Oxygen Measurement Project (SOMP) is a cubesat devel-
oped by students of the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany,
organized in the Students’ Research Group for Spacecraft Engineer-
ing in Dresden (STARD). SOMP will be a standard sized single CubeSat
with one payload side and five sides with two solar cells each.

BEESAT-2/3 (Berlin Experimental and Educational Satellite)
435.950 MHz, 4k8 GMSK (both satellites)
BEESAT-2 is a cubesat-sized vehicle carries a technology experiment
using gyros and sensors for precise orientation.
BEESat-3 is another cubesat-sized vehicle that will test high-speed
data links (up to 1MB/s).

April 21 Antares Launch to Orbit Three PhoneSat Cubesats
Three PhoneSat cubesats are now on-orbit following the launch of the
Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares(TM) rocket from NASA’s Wallops
Flight Facility (WFF) in eastern Virginia. The originally scheduled
April 17 launch attempt was scrubbed. April 21 is the next planned
launch attempt.
All three of the Phonesat cubesats carries an amateur radio payload
on 437.425 MHz. Each cubesat will transmit during individual time
slots. All three satellites transmit using AFSK (1200 bps) modula-
tion, AX.25 packet coding and have vertical linear polarization. The
two PhoneSat 1.0 satellites, Graham and Bell, transmit with a period-
icity of respectively 28 seconds and 30 seconds. The PhoneSat 2.0
beta satellite, Alexander, transmit with a periodicity of 25 seconds.
The PhoneSat web at http://www.phonesat.org/ provides access to the
“Dashboard” allowing you to track the location of our satellites in
real time. Detailed information on the downlink packet telemetry
format can be found on this page. The callsign will be KJ6KRW.
The orbit is very low (270km x 300km, 51.6deg) and the cubesats are
expected to only remain on-orbit for two weeks. The satellites are
battery powered with no additional charging from solar cells.
The Dove-2 commercial satellite is believed to use 2420.0 MHz for
its downlink.

April 25 China CZ-2D to Launch TURKSAT-3USAT Linear Transponder
TAMSAT reports the TURKSAT-3USAT, the first communication nanosatel-
lite mission of ITU, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey
is expected to launch on April 25 aboard China’s Chang Zheng-2D
rocket. Also aboard this launch will be Ecuador’s NEE 01 Pegaso 1U
cubesat and Argentina’s CubeBug-1 satellite.
TURKSAT-3USAT is a three unit CubeSat developed to provide SSB/CW
communications in a 680 km Low Earth Orbit. It will fly a V/U linear
transponder developed by TAMSAT, the Turkish Amateur Satellite Tech-
nologies Organisation.
+ Uplink center frequency 145.965 MHz
(145.940-145.990 MHz bandwidth)
Receive sensitivity -120 dBm
+ Downlink center frequency 435.225 MHz
(435.200-435.250 MHz bandwidth)
Output power 30 dBm (1W)
+ CW beacon on 437.225 MHz

CUBEBUG-1 Heading for Orbit Includes Amateur Radio Digipeater
———————————————————-
CubeBug-1 is the first technology demonstration mission for a new
CubeSat platform design (mechanics, hardware and software) intended
to be released as Open Source and Open Hardware for its use in Ama-
teur projects, University projects and research labs.
The project is sponsored by the Argentina Ministry of Science,
Technology and Productive Innovation.
Payloads on this first mission include:
+ An ARM based on-board computer
+ A nano-reaction wheel with its driver circuit
+ A low resolution camera
+ All based on COTS components
CubeBug-1 is a 2U CubeSat and the team are planning to use half
duplex communications on 437.445 MHz with 9k6 GMSK data. Tele-
metry information is at http://1.cubebug.org/coms/telemetry
After the technology demonstration part of the mission is over, the
satellite will enter a mode that will include services to the Ama-
teur radio community, including a Digipeater, science data downloads
from the payload (including images if possible).

May 3 Vega Launch from Kourou to Orbit ESTCube-1 CubeSat
Estonia’s first CubeSat ESTCube-1, amateur radio callsign ES5E/S,
is planned to launch from the ESA Spaceport in Kourou in the Cari-
bbean on May 3, 2013 aboard an ESA VEGA rocket.
Built by students at the University of Tartu ESTCube-1 the main
mission of the satellite is to test electric solar wind sail tech-
nology, a novel space propulsion technology that could revolution-
alize transportation within the solar system. It will deploy a 10
meter conductive electrodynamic tether and the force interacting
with the tether will be measured.
The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel have pub-
lished these frequencies for ESTCube-1:
+ 437.250 MHz – CW beacon, callsign ES5E/S
+ 437.505 MHz – 9600 bps AX.25 telemetry, callsign ES5E-11
