[amsat-bb] Biomass 432-438 MHz Radar Satellite

[M5AKA]

I believe that the Biomass satellite, just approved by ESA and slated for a 2020 launch, is a Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite that will operate 432-438 MHz.

As I recall 432-438 MHz was allocated to these broadband radar satellites about a decade ago.
