[amsat-bb] Re: JUGNU and SRMSAT - October 12

[Sanjay Srikanth Nekkanti]

Hi Bill,

The ground station paper was written before the frequencies were
coordinated by IARU. As mentioned by Mr. Mani the downlink frequency
is 437.425 Mhz.

Apparently the srmsat website is down for the past couple of months.
The web-team is trying to get the website operational.

Hi Bill and Dinesh,

I was a part of the ISRO team that conducted the Thermal Vacuum,
vibration and other environmental tests for both Jugnu and SRMSat.

I was able to receive the signals from both the satellites, while they
were here in my cetre during the above mentioned test. I even used
Funcube Dongle to receive and decode the telemetry CW data.

Frequencies:

SRMSat: Payload down link and CW Beacon on the same frequency -
437.425 (10dbm)
Jugnu:  CW Beacon - 437.275 (17dbm)
         Pay load  - 437.505
