Hi Stefan,VE4NSA

If I am so wrong! So very wrong indeed I have to tell you that AMSAT-UK is also very wrong indeed with me !

Read please the following page:

 http://www.uk.amsat.org/6948

and you will realize that this 3-unit CubeSat, developed by the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands has been largely developed by students and performed technology demonstration experiments for the space industry in the Netherlands..........."FOR THE SPACE INDUSTRY in the Netherland"....... right, but very very small for the Satellite Amateur Radio".

  Hi Domenico,


  I am sorry to tell you but you are so wrong! So very wrong indeed!


  The satellite amateur radio community was a significant part of Delfi-C3 from the very beginning. First of all many of the Delfi-C# team are ham radio operators in case you don't know. Secondly, our community did assist in key telemetry and science experiment data gathering and you should check sometimes the many ham operators around the world that helped in this and thirdly the on-board transponder was a key challenge to many of us and allowed for some very unique and rare QSOs. Too bad that you did not participate and obviously totally ignored one good satellite. Delfi-C3 is one great CubeSat success story and many of us a re looking forward to the next one.


  Stefan, VE4NSA

    Delfi-C3 was not of interest for the Satellite Amateur Radio community
    because it performed mainly technology demonstration experiments for
    the space industry in the Netherlands and not for our use.
