If you join the GENSO network, you'll be able to remotely access the  
satellite from many Universities and amateur stations in different  continents.

Hi  Amsaters
The Universities at Auburn, Iowa and Louisiana are apply for a  grant to 
build a cubesat and we need some one to host a ground station in the  southern 
hemisphere at latitudes > 55 deg S. The orbit will be a polar  orbit and 
locations in the higher latitudes will be in the foot print more  time per day that us 
in the middle latitudes. We supply  the hard ware  for a fully automated 
station I.E. Icon 910, M2 antennas, rotator and a  computer  and we need a 
volunteer to  get it in operation for us and  connected it to the internet. We expect 
the life of the sat to be a year or  two. If you have a interest please 
contact me off line  

thanks
