BID: $ANS-170.06
The preliminary pre-launch keps for the Cosmos launch scheduled for
August 25th have been announced.
This launch includes the SSETI Express spacecraft that will be carrying
an amateur U/S FM transponder.
SSETI1
1 33001U 05066C 05237.44790000 -.00000001 00000-0 10000-4 0 16
2 33001 98.1900 134.5000 0000001 0.0000 0.0000 14.60830000 00013
These are only provisional and maybe refined nearer the launch date!
This satellite is sponsored by the Education Office of the European
Space Agency and is the first in a series of student built satellite
projects that are underway. Their next project "ESEO" is scheduled for
2007/8 launch into a GTO orbit.
For the SSETI Express programme ESA are very keen to have as many
amateurs contributing received downlinked telemetry on 437MHz and 2.4GHz
to a central database. They recognise that our "worldwide" network is a
unique facility that is not otherwise available to them
A new website giving full details of the telemetry, how to decode it and
how to forward it to the SSETI database is being currently being
developed and initial information should be made available within the
next four weeks.
In the meantime we can further report that the launch is expected to be
broadcast live on this "free to air" satellite downlink.

As this only covers Europe we are also hoping to be able to stream the
sound and video over the internet - more news will follow on this nearer
the time.
