Amateur Radio heads for Venus

Mineo Wakita JE9PEL provides an update on the launch of an Amateur Radio satellite that will head towards Venus on May 17 carrying a beacon on 5840.0 MHz.

On the AMSAT Bulletin Board he writes:

Four CubeSats in Japan are planning to launch on 17 May 2010 together with PLANET-C which belongs to JAXA by
H-IIA rocket.

Launch date, 17 May 2010
Launch time, 21:44:14UTC
Launch site, Tanegashima Space Center in Japan

Three of the CubeSats, Negai*", WASEDA-SAT2, KSAT, being launched by the H-IIA rocket on May 17 will be dropped off into a low earth orbit but UNITEC-1 will continue following the JAXA's Venus Climate Orbiter PLANET-C / AKATSUKI on its journey to Venus.

It is reported on the European Space Agency (ESA) website that a Radio Amateur was able to receive Mars Express on its recent flyby of Phobos.

The posting at http://webservices.esa.int/blog/post/7/1058 says:

On Wednesday night, we had some of the biggest ground stations in the world listening in on Mars Express, along with collaborative stations from the JIVE network.

The professionals weren't the only people listening to our signal though - amateur radio operator Bertrand Pinel F5PL from near Castelnaudary, France, used his 3.5m dish throughout the flyby to listen to the signal from Mars Express.
