Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D successfully finished environmental testing on
February 8 and are now ready and waiting for delivery to Spaceflight
Industries for integration into their Sherpa payload dispenser which
will be making its maiden flight. Launch is on target to occur in
in the first half of 2016 on a SpaceX Falcon 9.
The CubeSats will be kept in a clean condition sealed in anti-static
bags, opened occasionally to charge the batteries so that they are
fully topped off for delivery.
Launched into a sun synchronous orbit, Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D will
both carry an FM repeater as Fox-1A (AO-85) has, as well as a camera
experiment built by students at Virginia Tech which will take images
of Earth for downlink in the high speed Data Mode. Fox-1Cliff will
also contain a radiation experiment from Vanderbilt University ISDE
like that in AO-85, and Fox-1D will host the University of Iowa HERCI
(High Energy Radiation CubeSat Instrument) experiment to map the Van
Allen radiation belts.
With Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D completed, the Fox Engineering Team is
focusing on RadFxSat/Fox-1B which is currently set to launch in
January, 2017.

Online Telemetry Forwarder
DK3WN Mike har skapat ett nytt program kallat Online Telemetry Forwarder som hanterar telemetri ett antal satelliter och lägger upp data på en server hos PE0SAT. Följande satelliter stöds:
BISONSAT, BUGSAT, CUBEBUG-2, DEORBITSAIL, FIREBIRD-3, FIREBIRD-4, GRIFEX, MCUBED-2, O/OREOS, POLYITAN, QB50P1, QB50P2, STRAND-1, TIGRISAT, UNISAT-6, UWE-3, PHONESAT2.4, ZACUBE, XW-2A..2F
Kopplingen sker enligt följande:
Audio in (via SDR eller vanlig analog radio och ljudkort) -> Soundmodem_HS -> Online Telemetry Forwarder

Ny satellit från ISS. Dock stämmer ej datum enligt text:
School SSTV CubeSat to deploy from ISS
A Slow Scan TV (SSTV) CubeSat developed by students at Saint Thomas
More Cathedral School (STM) in Arlington, VA, is set to be deployed
from the International Space Station on March 7 between 8-11am EST.
STM is thought to be the first Elementary school to build their own
satellite, even Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First Grade
students were involved in the project.
The satellite, a 1U CubeSat called STMSat-1, will transmit a SSTV
signal on 437.800 MHz.
Middle School Students took the initiative to begin exploring how to
receive data from the CubeSat and formed a Ham Radio Club. There,
they learned the basics of operating a ham radio station and explored
Slow Scan Television as an option for receiving images once the
satellite is deployed.
Be advised that the deployment could be delayed or postponed
depending on demands on the crew’s time.
