[amsat-bb] Amicalsat cubesat to be launched on 19 June

[christophe.mcr]

The Vega rocket (VV16) is scheduled to leave Kourou on 19 June 2020
01:51:10 GMT with 53 satellites on board.

One of the satellites that will be leaving is the *Amicalsat *satellite
built by the CSUG (Centre Spatial Universitaire Grenoblois). The
measurements made by the satellite will be available to all.  They will
allow radio amateurs to use them for propagation predictions.

The project's website (in english) has just been put online:
http://amicalsat.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/.

The Amsat-Francophone supported this project:
http://site.amsat-f.org/amicalsat/

A software (Linux & Windows)  is provided for decoding the telemetry and
sending it to the database (SatNogs). The user manual is available (in
english)
