http://www.uk.amsat.org/4309 VEGA launch window Join us for the first qualification flight of the Vega launch vehicle on Monday 13 February, with a launch window open from 11:00 to 12:30 CET (10:00 to 11:30 GMT). Vega will lift off from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, to release nine satellites into orbit and add a new capability to Europe's fleet of launch systems. Live transmission starts at 10:40 CET. The payload consists of two Italian satellites - ASIfs LARES laser relati_ vity satellite and the University of Bolognafs ALMASat-1 - as well as seven picosatellites provided by European universities: e-St@r (Italy), Goliat (Romania), MaSat-1 (Hungary), PW-Sat (Poland), Robusta (France), UniCubeSat GG (Italy) and Xatcobeo (Spain). http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Vega/SEM8QAWX7YG_0.html http://www.videocorner.tv/ Frequency Change Downlink,CW frequency of MaSat-1 and UNICubeSAT were changed. They are MaSat1: 437.345MHz, UNICubeSAT: 437.305MHz as follows. The initial TLEs will be opened to public after launch Vega Rocket.
