LilacSat-2 FM transponder schedule

Wei Mingchuan, BG2BHC, reports that the amateur radio FM voice
transponder on the LilacSat-2 satellite should now be activated on a
regular basis

First LilacSat-2 infrared image Sept 24, 2015

On September 24 the student team at the Harbin Institute of Technology
successfully downloaded the first infrared image from the satellite.

LilacSat-2 is scheduled to switch on the FM transponder at about 2200
UT each Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The FM transponder
(and APRS) downlink is 437.200 MHz, remember the Doppler shift on the
downlink during a pass will be about +/- 10 kHz.
If your radio has selectable FM filters use the wider filter designed
for 5 kHz deviation FM, sometimes referred to as a 25 kHz channel
spacing filter.

LilacSat-2 was deployed into a 528 km by 551 km 97.5 degree
inclination orbit. The NASA Orbital Lifetime Software indicates the
satellite might remain in orbit for 18 years before reentry into the
Earth’s atmosphere.
