ARLA/CLUSTER: 1ª Edição do "FUNcube Handbook" disponivel

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

 1st edition of FUNcube Handbook now available

Thanks to the very good work of Richard Limebear G3RWL the first
edition of the 'FUNcube Handbook' is now available

The handbook provides an initial introduction to the project overall
and the FUNcube-1 spacecraft in particular. An updated edition may be
available sometime after the launch which is currently planned
for November 21, 2013.

The primary mission of the FUNcube-1 CubeSat is to provide a telemetry
beacon that can be easily received by schools and colleges for
educational outreach purposes. When not in educational mode the
spacecraft switches on a communications transponder for use by radio
amateurs.

It is presently being translated into French and AMSAT-UK would be
delighted to receive offers of translation into other languages.
