[amsat-bb] Re: Successful ISRO Launch

[Mani VU2WMY]

Hello Burns,
All the four stages of PSLV are indigenous one's. Only GSLV depended  
upon Russian fourth stage cryogenic engines. So far, 18 PSLV's were  
launched and 17 were successful. Yesterday's PSLV-C16 was 17th  
consecutive successful launch.

Hello Trevor,
None of the two piggy backs i.e. Youthsat or Xsat have any amateur  
radio frequencies. One of the two Indian payload on-board Youthsat is  
called RaBIT-Radio Beacon for Ionosphere Tomography for mapping the  
Total Electron Content (TEC) of the Ionosphere to generate tomograph  
of the region.
The frequencies are 150 Mhz and 400Mhz.
