February launch for Jordanian CubeSat

Fourth year electrical engineering student *Aya Jaafari* is a member of the
JY1-SAT team. She says working on the CubeSat has allowed her to
practically implement a lot of what she learns theoretically at university

The Jordan Times reports on the country's first CubeSat JY1-SAT which was
built under the Masar initiative of the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF), by
16 young Jordanian men and women. The satellite is scheduled to be launched
on a mission in February 2018, a date on which the team pins great hopes
and ambitions.

These young Jordanians were supervised by a group of experts and academics
through their weekly meetings held at the Royal Jordanian Radio Amateurs
Society (RJRAS).

JY1-SAT was chosen as a tribute to His Majesty the Late King Hussein of
Jordan whose amateur radio call sign was JY1.

The CubeSat will carry an Amateur Radio FUNcube 435/145 MHz SSB/CW
transponder and a Slow Scan Digital Video (SSDV) system to transmit stored
images reflecting the Jordanian culture and its historical heritage.
