Beijing may do three ham radio sat launches

Beijing is thought to be planning three separate launches of satellites
carrying amateur radio payloads in the next few weeks

The launches were highlighted on the Social Media site Weibo and have been
discussed on a space flight forum.

On September 19 the new CZ-6 rocket is expected to launch from Taiyuan
carrying nine satellites with amateur radio payloads. Six XW-2 satellites
will carry 435/145 MHz SSB/CW transponders. LilacSat-2 will have a 145/435
MHz FM transponder along with APRS. The DCBB satellite will have 9600 bps
GMSK telemetry in both 145 and 437 MHz and the NUDT-Phone-Sat will have a
437 MHz 9600 bps FSK telemetry downlink.

Another new launcher, CZ-11, is Beijing's first solid-fuel rocket. Planned
to launch on September 25 from Jiuquan it will carry three satellites with
amateur payloads: Tianwang-1A (TW-1A / SECM); Tianwang-1B (TW-1B /
NJUST-2); Tianwang-1C (TC-1C / NJFA-1). They were developed at the Shanghai
Engineering Center for Microsatellites.

The Jilin-1 Earth Observation constellation is planned to launch on October
5 from Jiuquan on a CZ-2D. It is reported there may also be a satellite
with an amateur radio payload.
