Delfi-C3 Tranponder now activated over Europe

The Delfi-C3 435 to 145 MHz SSB/CW transponponder has now been activated.. 

It will be switched on duing this weekend whenever it is within range of Europe and will automatically switch back to science (telemetry) mode when it goes into eclipse about 1 hour later. 

This means that only those within range of the European passes will be able to use it. 

The Delfi-C3 team will be giving presentations on their exciting new satellite during the AMSAT-UK Colloquium taking place at the University of Surrey, home of the Surrey Space Centre. 

The presentations start at 09:05 am (0805GMT) on Saturday July 26th and will will be streamed live to the web to a worldwide audience at http://www.batc.tv/
