Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 12:29:28 -0000
All commissioning has been completed on TiungSat and the spacecraft is
now open for amateur use.
Currently the downlink is operating at 9600bd, although this will be
switched to 38k4 in the coming weeks. When this is done, the downlink
will not be on at all times since we will operate using the high power
transmitter which consumes considerably more power than the current
transmitter. The same system as employed on Uo-36 will be employed
to allow amateurs to switch on the downlink from their groundstation
as required.
The imaging systems are still being calibrated and not all images will
be available for download. The command stations in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia (9M2MCS) and Surrey, UK (G7UPN) will restrict downloading to
images that are of reasonable quality. We will only restrict access to
images that are cloudy or otherwise used only for calibration purposes
(such as the image programmed this morning during eclipse).
Since the images from TiungSat should be the primary interest, uploading
is restricted to command station use only.
The imaging system has a Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) of approximately
70m in 3 bands, and a wide angle camera with a GSD of approximately 1km.
The following information should be entered in your groundstation
software for TiungSat -:
Broadcast callsign MYSAT3-11
Uplink frequencies 145.850 / 145.925
Downlink frequency 437.325
Enjoy!
Cheers

Congratulation, TiungSat OPEN !
I received many following beacons with ExTerm from TiungSat.
MYSAT3>STATUS [11/3 04:34:10 UTC] (UI):Fri Nov 03 04:34:34 2000
Up: 36/9:47 F:337040 L:277392 d:0 [0].
MYSAT3-11>TELEM [11/3 04:34:10 UTC] (UI): .....
MYSAT3-11>PBLIST [11/3 04:34:11 UTC] (UI):PB: Empty.
And I received it at the same time with WiSP32,
then I put GIF_image file at my URL:
http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/01103tiu.gif
I noticed there were TG103303.IMT TG203302.IMC etc. in View-Dir.
Does anyone know the correct 'TiungSat Image Format' ?
TG11xxxx.IMT -- Infra redray and Thumbnail ?
TG12xxxx.IMC -- Infra redray and Compression ?
TG21xxxx.IMT -- Red and Thumbnail ?
TG22xxxx.IMC -- Red and Compression ?
TG31xxxx.IMT -- Green and Thumbnail ?
TG32xxxx.IMC -- Green and Compression ?
Note : TiungSat-1 object number is 26548.

I put WiSP View-Dir image of TiungSat at the following URL.
You will see that I'm receiving 58% '3F4 : TG303303.IMT'.
