[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Shin'en2 designated as Fuji Oscar 82

Shin'en 2 (FO-82) also known as Abyss 2

William A. (Bill) Tynan, W3XO, OSCAR Number Administrator has
conferred on Shin'en2 the designation Fuji OSCAR-82 or FO-82

In reply to Seiji Fukushima's, JH6RTO, request for an OSCAR number,
Bill said, "I along with all in AMSAT-NA and the world's Amateur Radio
satellite community congratulate you and all involved with Fuji
OSCAR-82 and trust that it will fulfill all of its mission objectives.
FO-82 joins an illustrious line of Fuji spacecraft built and launched
by Japan."

Shin'en2 is a 17 kg satellite measuring 490×490×475 mm built by
students at Kagoshima University in Japan. The aims of the mission
were:
• To establish communication technologies with a long range
• To establish a new technology of ultra-light-weight satellite with
UHF downlinks

The orbit is quite different from the previous satellites. Shin'en2
headed to a deep space orbit between Venus and Mars. The inclination
will be almost zero, which means it will stay in the Earth's
equatorial plane.

The distance from the Sun will be between 0.7 and 1.3 AU. An
Astronomical Unit (AU) is 149,597,871 km.

Shin'en2 IARU coordinated frequencies:
• 437.505 MHz CW beacon
• 437.385 MHz Telemetry

Shin'en2 launched in the 4th quarter of 2014 with another amateur
radio satellite, ARTSAT2:DESPATCH, on a H-IIA rocket with the asteroid
explorer Hayabusa 2 as the main payload.
