On October 4, 2012 five CubeSats were successfully deployed from the International Space Station (ISS). The first pod containing RAIKO and WE-WISH was deployed at 1437 UT while the second pod containing FITSAT-1, F-1 and TechEdSat deployed at 1544 UT.

It's strong and clear signal. 17:02-17:10UTC, 4 Oct 2012, Ele 8 WN-N-NE, 437.250MHz CW HI DE NIWAKA JAPAN S1 F0 03 00 BA S2 88 D5 81 81 ....... TechEdSat heard! It's very weak every 10 seconds. 18:38-18:48UTC, 4 Oct 2012, Ele 37 WN-E-ES, 437.465MHz FM
WE_WISH SSTV signal was received by JE1CVL. Great! This SSTV image is the infrared temperature indication image. WE_WISH, 20:15-20:24UTC, 4 Oct 2012, Ele 16 NW-W-S, 437.505MHz SSTV

I succeeded in decoding the 'Scottie 1' signal of WE_WISH SSTV. You will notice that you watch a picture carefully in a sentence of "JQ1ZIJ MEISEI ARC 2012" being written at the end line. http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/21005wi3.mp3 http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=29102
F-1, Nothing heard It seemed to hear F-1 which we did not hear so far. (unconfirmed) We can see the report like it under the next page. http://fspace.edu.vn/?page_id=27 Subject: [amsat-bb] CubeSats TLE From: Jean-Pierre Godet Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2012 09:13:59 +0000 (UTC) Hello dear CubeSats listener ! The TLE of the five CubeSats recently launched from ISS are now ava_ ilable with the NORAD registration numbers 1998-067-CN, CP, CQ, CR, CS. 1998 ? Yes as NORAD considers they are parts of the ISS, the first module of which, Zarya, was launched on November 20th 1998 and got the NORAD registration number 1998-067-A. Yesterday evening (evening in Western Europe, around 2130 UTC), I noticed that FITSAT-1 was already about 4 mn before the ISS predictions as this one modified altitude (higher). With a max. elevation angle of 83 deg., we received the 437.250 MHz beacon loud and clear. Have a good day my friends !
