[amsat-bb] HuskySat

[Paul Stoetzer]

Cygnus is scheduled to depart the ISS on January 13, 2020 and raise
its orbit to around 500 km before deploying HuskySat-1 and SwampSat.
After deployment, I believe the 1200 bps BPSK beacon on 435.800 MHz
(decodable with FoxTelem) will be active. It will then complete its
primary mission, expected to last 30 days, testing a pulsed plasma
thruster and experimental 24 GHz data transmitter before being turned
over to AMSAT for amateur radio operations.
