ARLA/CLUSTER: Primeiro satélite jordano JY1-SAT em testes finais antes do seu lançamento

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Jordan’s first satellite – JY1-SAT

During the final satellite integration training for Jordan’s first
satellite, *JY1-SAT*, the team was supported for the final stages of
integration by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II

The spacecraft has been given to students of the Masar Initiative at the
Jordan University of Science and Technology as part of the JY1-SAT mission
support and training program under the Crown Prince Foundation given by
ISIS – Innovative Solutions In Space and AMSAT-UK and AMSAT Netherlands.


JY1-SAT CubeSat

The JY1-SAT mission was proposed by Jordanian students who participated in
the first batch of the cooperation program with NASA, after which the
interns had suggested the design and launch of the first Jordanian
satellite CubeSat.

To build up the capability to design and develop such a first mission, the
Crown Prince Foundation signed a support agreement with ISIS – Innovative
Solutions In Space and the AMSAT Radio Amateur Societies of the UK and the
Netherlands, for hardware and training support, building on ISIS’ and
AMSAT’s experience with FUNcube radio amateur transponder missions.

As a special development for the JY1-SAT mission, AMSAT has expanded the
capabilities of the FUNcube transponder to be able to transmit stored
images reflecting the Jordanian culture and its historical heritage, along
with a voice message recorded by the Crown Prince to be transmitted in
space to receivers around the world.

The launch of the JY1-SAT, scheduled during the first half of next year, is
in memory of His Majesty the late King Hussein, the first founder of the
HAM Radio in Jordan and holder of call sign *JY1*.

JY1-SAT will have a linear, inverting, transponder downlinking between
145.855 & 145.875 MHz with the uplink between 435.100 & 435.120 MHz. The
telemetry downlink will be on 145.840 MHz and be FUNcube compatible. A new
Dashboard will be made available before the launch of JY1-SAT.
