[amsat-bb] New Russian Radio Sputnik 48 launched

[Nico Janssen]

All,

Dmitry, R4UAB, published further information on SamSat 218D and
Aist 2D. It appears RS 48 is Aist 2D (object 41465, 2016-026B) instead
of SamSat 218D. This is now confirmed by doppler measurements.

An overview of all downlinks:

Aist 2D ('Stork' 2D) / RS 48
* 435.315 MHz  telemetry and digital data
* 435.365 MHz  telemetry and digital data
* 8025 - 8393 MHz  remote sensing digital data
* 433 - 438 MHz  P-band radar

SamSat 218D
* 145.850 - 145.890 MHz  transceiver TRXSSAU downlink

73,
Nico PA0DLO
