PO-34 PANSAT
Catalog number: 25520
Launched: October 30, 1998
Status: Telemetry downloads only
Uplink/downlink frequency (listed on the PanSat web site) 436.500 MHz
The satellite is not available for general uplink transmissions.
The Naval Postgraduate School developed PanSat. At the time of
launch, PanSat spread-spectrum digital transponders were to
be available to Amateur Radio operators along with software to utilize
this technology.
The satellite is still operating, however, the spread spectrum packet
radio portion never took place. The spacecraft is now beyond it's
initial 2-year mission life, but telemetry records are still being
downloaded.

AO-49 AATiS OSCAR-49 (SAFIR-M)
Catalog number: 27605
Launch Date: December 20, 2002
Status: Semi-operational.
Uplink 435.275 1200-baud AFSK
Downlink 145.825 9600-baud FSK
(optional voice message)
Broadcast callsign: DP0AIS
AO-49 (SAFIR-M) is a German amateur radio payload onboard the small
German
scientific satellite "RUBIN-2".
AO-49 was built by the German amateur radio association "AATiS e.V."
(German
acronym for "Arbeitskreis Amateurfunk und Telekommunikation in der
Schule",
which means: 'working group for amateur radio anand telecommunications
in
schools'). AO-49 is designed as a "store and broadcast" system for APRS
based messages, dedicated for the use of schools in combination with the
existing WX-Net and planned buoy experiments in Germany.
No transmissions detected since the 1st of February 2003! It appears
AO-49 is not properly aligned to illuminate the solar panels. This
should end soon. Due to its orbit, AO-49 will be in a phase without
eclipses until 13Feb03.
Martin DG8UAU has written a small software program "SAFIR-M Decoder" to
allow decoding of the received DATA0 frames. It is available at:
http://amend.gmxhome.de in the section Aktuelles.
Details on AO-49 (SAFIR-M) can be found at:
