ARLA/CLUSTER: Universidade de Budapest divulga o software para telemetria do Masat-1

[João Gonçalves Costa]

Budapest University Masat-1 telemetry decoder software released

Dr. Bandi Gschwindt HA5WH, Project Director of the Masat-1 CubeSat, the first Hungarian satellite, built in Hungary by students at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, reports that their satellite is expected to be launched on the Vega maiden flight on February 13 with a planned deployment window between 10:00-13:00 UTC.

Masat-1's website is at: http://cubesat.bme.hu/?lang=en

The students are looking for radio hams to help with the reception of telemetry data on 437.345 MHz at 625/1250 bps baud rate GFSK, especially in the first two weeks after launch. The satellite's callsign is HA5MASAT.

The Masat-1 amateur radio webpage is at:
http://cubesat.bme.hu/radioamatoroknek/?lang=en
You can register on that page.

The Masat-1 Ground Station Client Software was prepared to process the 437.345 MHz GFSK 625/1250 bps transmission received from the satellite.

The software provides the following functions:
+ Audio demodulation
+ Packet decoding
+ Packet data visualization
+ Frequency waterfall plot to aid radio tuning

Planned orbit will be 300x1500 km, inclination 70deg. Launch will be by ESA from Kourou.
