This week the Peruvian Chasqui-1 was launched on August 18 at 1423 UTC from the ISS. I have added CHASQUI-1, Cat # 40117 to this week's KEP distribution. "Chasqui-1's beacon on 437.025 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler shift) can transmit either 1200 bps AFSK AX.25 or 9600 bps GMSK. As of August 19, the beacon had not been heard." (courtesy ARRL Bulletin ARLS004,8-19-14) Sorry about missing the distribution last week. I had a serious illness in the family. Well, it actually was my horse Zafiro (Sapphire) that was il ...Continue Reading

The separation between UKube 1 and AISSat 2 has increased to about 60 km. UKcube-1 is OBJECT F - 2014-37F - Cat#40074. OBJECT F in the KEPs has been renamed UKUBE-1. Thanks to Nico Janssen, PA0DLO for the above final identification. Nico says, "JSpOC's initial guess appears to be correct." OBJECT G - 2014-37G - Cat#40075 has been removed form this weeks KEP distribution. _______________________________________________ Via the Keps mailing list courtesy of AMSAT-NA http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/keps ...Continue Reading
