Wei Mingchuan BG2BHC<\/a><\/strong> reports DSLWP is a lunar formation flying mission for low frequency radio astronomy, amateur radio and education, consists of two microsatellites.<\/p>\n

Developed by students at the Harbin Institute of Technology the amateur radio payload onboard DSLWP-A1 will provide telecommand uplink and telemetry \/ digital image downlink. An open telecommand is also designed to allow amateurs to send commands to take and download an image.<\/p>\n

The satellites are 50x50x40 cm with a mass of about 45 kg and are 3-axis stabilized. Two linear polarization antennas are mounted along and normal to the flight direction.<\/p>\n

The team plans downlinks for A1 on 435.425 MHz and 436.425 MHz while downlinks for DSLWP-A2 would be 435.400 MHz and 436.400 MHz using 10K0F1DCN or 10K0F1DEN 250 bps GMSK with concatenated codes or JT65B.<\/p>\n

Planning a launch into a 200 x 9000 km lunar orbit in June 2018. Further info at http:\/\/lilacsat.hit.edu.cn\/<\/a><\/p>\n
