I dagarna (maj 2017) har det kommit ut ett antal nya Cubesats från ISS. Flera lyssnarrapporter har kommit redan. Det finns en video på utsläppet från ISS  här.

DK3WN Satblog har en aktuell status daterad 18 maj.

DK3WN har gjort några utmärkta frekvens-skisser över satelliterna:

The second phase of QB50 CubeSats should be deployed from the
International Space Station over three days from May 23-25, 2017.

Built by university students and research organisations from 23 c
ountries around the world, the QB50 constellation aims to study the
lower thermosphere 200-380 km above the Earth.

11 QB50 CubeSats were deployed in the first phase and a further 17
will be deployed in the second phase. The beacons should be
activated about 30 minutes after deployment.

The QB50 CubeSats have downlinks between 435.7 and 438 MHz and
reports from radio amateurs are most welcome. Beacon data received
can be uploaded to a dedicated QB50 webpage at

LilacSat-2 (ON02CN), which deploys at 0815 GMT on Tuesday, May 23,
is carrying a FM to Codec2-BPSK Digital Voice transponder, an APRS
digipeater and camera. Further information at

Two of the ISS QB50 CubeSats deployed in the first phase, ON01FR
437.020 MHz and ON05FR 436.880 MHz, carry V/U FM transponders.
The uplink frequency for both is 145.860 MHz with 210.7 Hz CTCSS, see
