The Russian space agency Roscosmos has released a video of the Tomsk-TPU-120<\/a> CubeSat commemorative transmission from the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

The satellite was developed by students at the Tomsk Polytechnic University to test new space materials technology and is the world’s first space vehicle with a 3D-printed structure. It was launched from Baikonur to the ISS on March 31, 2016 in a Progress-MS-2 cargo vessel. It will be deployed by hand during a future Russian spacewalk (EVA), which is why unlike other CubeSats this one has a handle. The call sign of the satellite is RS4S<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Tomsk-TPU-120<\/a>In May 2016 the Tomsk Polytechnic University celebrated its 120th anniversary. As part of the celebrations on May 10\/11 the Tomsk-TPU-120 was activated in the ISS and transmitted a greeting to Earth inhabitants, recorded by students of the university in 10 languages: Russian, English, German, French, Chinese, Arabic, Tatar, Indian, Kazakh and Portuguese.<\/p>\n

The greeting message was transmitted once a minute on 437.025 MHz FM<\/strong>. One of the Kenwood transceivers on the ISS provided a cross-band relay, re-transmitting the signal on 145.800 MHz FM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The video, recorded in the Russian ISS Service Module, shows the CubeSat and the amateur radio station.<\/p>\n
