ESA have released a video of the European Student Earth Orbiter ESEO<\/a> satellite which carries an amateur radio payload.<\/p>\n

ESEO is expected to launch as part of Spaceflight\u2019s SSO-A<\/a> SmallSat Express mission, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The launch is currently scheduled for November 19, 2018 at 18:32 GMT.<\/p>\n

The AMSAT payload, provided by AMSAT-UK in cooperation with the University of Surrey, UK, allows the satellite to establish a downlink connection to hundreds of ground stations in the AMSAT network, sending both housekeeping and scientific data. These data will be used to run science and technology lessons in schools and universities.<\/p>\n

Radio amateurs will be able to communicate via the 1260\/145 MHz FM transponder.<\/p>\n

IARU Coordinated Frequencies:
\n\u2022 Main ESEO Telemetry Beacon 437.000 MHz 4k8 or 9k6 GMSK AX25
\n\u2022 FUNcube-4 Beacon 145.895 MHz 4k8 BPSK
\n\u2022 FM Uplink 1263.500 MHz CTCSS 67 Hz
\n\u2022 FM Downlink 145.895 MHz<\/p>\n
