FUNcube-4 - a payload on the ESEO mission.
ESEO is a 20kg class microsat which incorporates experimental payloads
from a number of universities around Europe. The FUNcube payload will
provide similar telemetry to its predecessors but will have a more
powerful transmitter and thus be even easier to hear. For amateurs,
this payload will also provide a single channel L/V transponder for FM.
These downlinks will be transmitted on 145.930MHz and the uplink will
be on 1263.5 MHz.

The ESEO project is being funded by the ESA Education Office.
The launch date for this mission has not yet been confirmed.
