Downlink: 437.100 MHz GMSK 9600bps
ChubuSat-3 Satellite

Downlink: 437.425 MHz GMSK 9600bps
Fakta från ANS-038:
Nagoya University(NU) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries(MHI) developed 50kg
microsatellite ChubuSat-2(NU) and ChubuSat-3(MHI). These satellites have
amateur VHF receiver and amateur UHF transmitter, and will be launched on
Feb. 12 2016 from Tanegashima, Japan. Komaki Amateur SATCOM Club operates
these satellites from Komaki, Japan.
After the satellite separation, each satellite will transmit UHF CW beacon
message including battery voltage etc. which is very important information
for our initial and critical operation. So we are very happy if you receive
the CW beacon message and report to us
chubusat2@frontier.phys.nagoya-u.ac.jp
In following WEB site, we show the information(frequency, format, TLE, etc.)
about ChubuSat-2 and ChubuSat-3. If we have your report, we will show your
report in this page.

Both satellite will provide the message exchange service. After the on-orbit
checkout of the satellite(maybe one month after launch), you can use this
service, sending your message with VHF uplink, then your message is written
to the on-board memory. By sending inquiry message, anyone can read your
message with UHF downlink.
ChubuSat-2 Satellite
Uplink: 145.815 MHz FSK 1200bps
Downlink: 437.100 MHz GMSK 9600bps
ChubuSat-3 Satellite
Uplink: 145.840 MHz FSK 1200bps
Downlink: 437.425 MHz GMSK 9600bps
The uplink/downlink format will be uploaded in above WEB site.
We hope you get interested in our satellites, receive beacon messages, and
enjoy the message exchange service.
