Hi AMSATs,
I just wanted to let know to the AMSAT-world that testing has been
started to get the HAMSAT (or in hamradio called VUSAT) 100% working
and ready for launch.
During the final testing last year there were found some minor problems,
and the satellite could not been launced. Since a few days I am back at
ISRO in Bangalore to help with testing and get the satellite in best
shape for its launch summer this year.
I can not give any technical details and date of launch, but I want the
AMSAT world to know that in the background many work is in progress.
The satellite will give the hams in the world two new linear mode-uv
transponders in a 800km LEO orbit... and this all just for free...
