Tancredo-1(UbatubaSat) AFSK tommorrow
[amsat-bb] Tubesat Tancredo-1
From: Edson W. R. Pereira, PY2SDR
Date: Wed Jan 18 18:55:07 UTC 2017
The tubesat Tancredo-1 (http://www.ubatubasat.com/en/), built by middle
school students at the Tancredo Neves public school in Ubatuba, state of
Sao Paulo, Brazil, is scheduled to be deployed from the TuPOD, a tubesat
deployer developed by Gauss in Italy (http://www.gaussteam.com/tag/tupod/).
TuPOD was successfully deployed from the ISS this past Monday, Jan 16th,
and should start transmitting a CW beacon on 437.425 MHz for a few days,
starting from tomorrow around 22:00 UTC.
The Tancredo-1 deployment is also scheduled for tomorrow around 22:00 UTC
and right after deployment it should start transmitting telemetry using
packet radio (1200 bps AFSK) on 437.200 MHz with the callsign PY0ETA. The
telemetry format is described in this document: https://goo.gl/qOK6qM
Reports will be much appreciated and can be send online using this web
page: http://www.amsat-br.org/tools/srs/TuPOD, Tancredo-1(UbatubaSat) activehttp://www.gaussteam.com/tupod-almost-ready-for-launch/http://www.gaussteam.com/satellites/tupod/radio-amateur-information-for-tupod/
We believe that NORAD assigned the identifier 41931 to the TuPOD.
The following TLE will be valid for the complete period in which
the satellite will be available for listening to it.

Integration of the TubeSats into the TuPOD by the GAUSS team, in Rome
The two onboard TubeSats in TuPOD are:
* TANCREDO-1, as part of the UbatubaSat Project, carried out by Brazilian
students from "Escola Municipal Presidente Tancredo de Almeida Neves"
together with INPE
* OSNSAT, developed by the Open Space Network, a Californian space company.
Cubesats launch and IDs
[amsat-bb] Cubesats launch and IDs
From: Nico Janssen, PA0DLO
Date: Fri Jan 20 15:03:03 UTC 2017
Last Monday 2017-01-16 six cubesats were launched from the Japanese
Kibo module of the ISS, using the J-SSOD cubesat deployer.
ITF-2, Waseda-sat 3 and Freedom were deployed at 09:10 UTC. EGG was
deployed at 09:20 UTC. AOBA-Velox 3 was deployed at 10:40 UTC.
TUPOD was deployed at 10:50 UTC.
The JSpOC published the first TLE sets two days after the launch and
assigned preliminary IDs to the new cubesats. Detailed doppler
measurements show that some of these IDs are not correct:
TUPOD is object 41931, 1998-067KT
ITF-2 is object 41932, 1998-067KU
WASEDA-SAT3 is object 41934, 1998-067KW
AOBA-Velox3 is object 41935, 1998-067KX
Tancredo-1 is object 41936, 1998-067KY
Around 23:30 UTC on 2017-01-19 the first ever Tubesats were deployed into
orbit from the cubesat TUPOD, i.e. Tancredo-1 (Brazil) and OSNSAT (USA).
Tancredo-1 is still close to TUPOD, so for the time being TUPOD's TLE set
can be used to track this Tubesat.
