[amsat-bb] Re: SRMSAT Keps and Down Link Details

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

Hi Dinesh,

Is this a cubesat, or a microsat? The webpage indicates it is 286mmx286mmx294mm and 10kg, which is more the size of AO-51 than a 100mm^3 cubesat.

Is there any possibility of a secondary amateur communications mission?

Good Luck with the launch.

73, Drew KO4MA
