ISS satellite deployment

The *AggieSat4* satellite carrying the *Bevo-2* CubeSat is expected to be
deployed from the International Space Station on January 29, both have
amateur radio payloads

This is a timelapse of the build process of the Texas A&M student-built
satellite, AggieSat4. The video spans an entire year, the amount of time it
took to build AGS4, however many more years were put into the design and
programming of AGS4 before any hardware was assembled.

AggieSat4 was launched aboard the Orbital ATK Cygnus OA-4 cargo resupply
mission. The Cygnus spacecraft was mounted atop a United Launch Alliance
Atlas V rocket that took the Cygnus from the Kennedy Space Center up into
Low Earth Orbit on December 6 at 4:44pm EST.

AGS4 is planned to release from the ISS on January 29 and will then proceed
to eject the University of Texas CubeSat, Bevo-2 and perform relative
navigation tasks as well as take pictures of the release of Bevo-2.

The IARU has coordinated these frequencies for the amateur radio payloads:
AggieSat4 436.250 MHz 9k6 FSK telemetry (also 153.6 kbps FSK)
Bevo-2 437.325 MHz CW and 38k4 FSK
