[amsat-bb] UKube-1 launch first signals

[Graham Shirville]

AMSAT-UK has congratulated the UKube-1 team on the successful launch and deployment of the spacecraft earlier today.


Signals have already been heard from both transmitters in many countries and the UKube team has asked that all stations continue to monitor the downlinks and where possible to forward their reports as follows:



CW beacons on 145.840MHz to operations at funcube.org.uk and steve.greenland at clyde-space.com

FUNcube telemetry on 145.915 MHz - your existing dashboard will not display properly(except for the Fitter Messages!) but it WILL be forwarding it to the Warehouse correctly and the data will be very useful for the team.



The first stations to receive the FUNcube telemetry during the initial orbit were:

 DK3WN 

 OO1A     

 F-60429   

 G0PGL    

 G4GUO    

 PB1DTF   

 M0LTC
