Fox-1D scheduled to launch this week

AMSAT’s next Fox-1 satellite, Fox-1D, is scheduled for launch on
January 12, 2018 at 03:58 UTC from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in
Sriharikota, India

Fox-1D will launch as part of the PSLV-C40 mission on board a Polar
Satellite Launch Vehicle with Cartosat, an imaging satellite for the
Indian government, and 30 other payloads.

In addition to the Fox-1 U/v FM transponder, Fox-1D contains a number
of exciting experiments, including a camera built by students at
Virginia Tech, the University of Iowa’s HERCI (High Energy Radiation
CubeSat Instrument), and AMSAT’s L-Band Downshifter which will give
amateur radio operators an opportunity to experiment with a different
uplink band.
