The European Space Agency launch site at Kourou, French Guiana successfully launched eight new satellites on February 13, 2012. These satellites operate in the Amateur band. See www.amsat.org for details and operating frequencies. Once again the satellites are too close together to distinguish who is who. Time and a lot of effort by some talented people (not me!)will reveal the which object is which satellite. Any ideas?

It appears that the rumors of the demise SumbandilaSat (SO-67, Cat# 35870)may have been greatly exaggerated. A rescue effort is taking place. See the following website - www.amsatsa.org.za Thus SO-67 has been added back in to the KEPs distribution. ARISSAT1 (Cat# 37772) has been dropped. _______________________________________________ Via the Keps mailing list courtesy of AMSAT-NA http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/keps ____________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ ...Continue Reading
