Video of AESP-14 CubeSat deployment from ISS

The Japanese Space Agency, JAXA, have released a video showing the
deployment of the Brazilian amateur radio satellite AESP-14 from the
International Space Station

The AESP-14 is a 1U CubeSat developed by undergraduate and graduate
engineering students at the Technology Institute of Aeronautics (ITA)
in Brazil. The satellite’s primary mission is to test the various
subsystems in the space environment.

The satellite was sent to the ISS as cargo on the SpaceX Falcon 9
mission CRS-5. Launch had been scheduled for December 16, 2014 but was
postponed three times and it wasn’t until January 10, 2015 that the
launch eventually took place. AESP-14 then awaited deployment from the
ISS by the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) which is in
the Japanese Experimental Module, Kibo.

The deployment took place around 1250 UT on Thursday, February 5.
The AESP-14 telemetry beacon had a power output of 500 mW and used
AX.25 with 9600 bps GMSK modulation (G3RUH standard) on 437.600 MHz.
It should have started transmitting 30 minutes after deployment but as
of March 30 nothing had been heard. It may be the battery did not
survive several months without being recharged or the antenna may have
failed to deploy.
