INFORMACION IMPORTANTE DEL COLEGA M5AKA TREVOR HAWKINS , Directivo de AMSAT U.K. - REINO UNIDO

Following the successful tests last weekend the latest Amateur Radio
satellite ARISSat-1 will be deployed from the ISS, Aug 3, during
a space walk that commences at 1400 GMT. AMSAT-NA have created a
special page with information on how to receive the satellite.

ARISSat-1 can transmit Slow Scan TV pictures from its 4 onboard cameras and it is hoped a picture of the actual deployment wil be transmitted. ARISSat-1 also has CW and BPSK beacons and a cross band 435/145 MHz linear transponder for SSB/CW working. The 145.950 MHz SSTV FM signal should be receivable using simple equipment such as a 2m FM handheld with a quater wave whip.
