OSCAR Numbers Assigned for CubeSats QB50p1 and QB50p2
In an email to Mr. Wouter Weggelaar PA3WEG, AMSAT-NL and Mr. Jeroen
Rotteveel, ISIS CEO, OSCAR Number Administrator William A. (Bill)
Tynan, W3XO, announced,
“I have received your request for OSCAR Numbers for CubeSats QB50p1
and QB50p2 and from everything I can determine these spacecraft meet
all of the requirements necessary to receive OSCAR numbers.
“Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the AMSAT-NA President,
I hereby confer the designation European OSCAR 79 to CubeSats QB50p1
and European OSCAR 80 to CubeSat CubeSats QB50p2. These designations
can, of course, for convenience be shortened to EO-79 and EO-80.
I, and the entire amateur satellite community, hope for successful
missions for both EO-79 and EO-80 and congratulate AMSAT-NL and the
ISIS team as well as all who contributed to these new Amateur Radio
satellites for their success in building, testing and launching these
new OSCARs.”
[ANS Thanks Bill W3XO and AMSAT-NA for the above information]
