Taurus-1 with solar sail deployed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Taurus-1 (Jinniuzuo-1) carrying an amateur radio FM to Codec-2 transponder was launched on a CZ-4B rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center on Thursday, September 12 at 0326 GMT.<\/p>\n

Taurus-1 is a CubeSat project developed by Aerospace System Engineering Research Institute of Shanghai for youth education and amateur radio.<\/p>\n

The transponder is similar to that used on LilacSat-1 receiving FM with 67 Hz CTCSS on 145.820 and retransmitting it as Codec-2 9600 bps BPSK digital voice on 436.760 MHz. The telemetry downlink is on 435.840 MHz +\/-10 kHz Doppler shift.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cGood signals from #Taurus-1 on 435.840 MHz! Doesn\u2019t look like the FM\/Codec2 Transponder is enabled yet though (no response on 436.760 MHz when transmitting on 145.820 MHz)\u201d<\/em>
