ARLA/CLUSTER: Três novos CubeSats já estão em orbita

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Three new CubeSats now in orbit

Signals have been received from the three CubeSats launched April 25
on Soyuz flight VS14 from the Kourou spaceport in South America

The three CubeSats were developed by student teams under the European
Space Agency (ESA) Education Office “Fly Your Satellite!” program,
which is aimed at training the next generation of aerospace
professionals. The satellites are OUFTI-1, Université of Liège,
Belgium; e-st  r-II, Polytechnic of Turin, Italy; AAUSAT-4, University
of Aalborg, Denmark.

The signal from the e-st  r satellite 1200 bps beacon is very weak
which may indicate an antenna deployment issue or unexpectedly low
transmit power. ESA report the e-st  r team is working to consolidate
the radio communication link with their satellite.

OUFTI-1 carries the first dedicated amateur D-Star satellite transponder
