PSLV launch successful, 5 satellites placed in orbit, 03:52:00 UTC, 12 Jul 2010
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/pslv-launch-successful-5-satellites-placed-in-orbit/645264/
In its 16th successive, successful mission, the Polar Satellite Launch
Vehicle placed five satellites into the predestined orbit after a precision
launch on Monday, a feat that elated the space community as it came after
the failure of last launch.
The payloads included the latest remote sensing satellite CARTOSAT 2B,
a nanosatellite fabricated by students of a consortium of private engineering
colleges in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, ALSAT-2A of Algeria, AISSAT-1
of Canada and TISAT of Switzerland.

Good signals from TIsat over ZL 0926 to 0936 when the signals stopped
abruptly shortly before predicted LOS.

Decoding table for TIsat-1 early beacon messages
During the early days of TIsat-1 mission, the beacon send continuously
during the day the message "HI HI HI TISAT" followed by a Morse character
indicating the temperature of the transmitter. The beacon is turned off
during eclipse to avoid stress of the batteries. This message is repeated
each 15s and is encoded with 17 WPM. The radio used as beacon has been
developped completely in SUPSI with the help of local HAMs.
The following table allows to translate the last character of the message
into the relative temperature expressed in Celsius degrees.
Character F B K R H N T E I S A D M U 5 L
Temperature -10 -5 0 +5 +10 +15 +20 +25 +30 +35 +40 +45 +50 +55 +60 +65
We invite to keep note of the received messages and temperatures.
A Web application to upload these information will be soon available.

Hi,
Yes we are operating in the same frequency that is 437.861MHz
for Beacon. We have received the Beacon in the same frequency.
Thanking you,
Mamatha
(Team STUDSAT)
StudSat reference:
Satellite Completed the beacon mode of communication and has entered the mission mode,
where in it will transmit encrypted data at 437.505 MHz and will not send the beacon.
