FW: ARLS008 MIR-SAT1 CubeSat Expected to Deploy from the ISS on June 22


 

OK, maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety. But Mauritius can put a
satellite in orbit, but AMSAT can't seem to launch one that works?

What am I missing here.

ARLS008 MIR-SAT1 CubeSat Expected to Deploy from the ISS on June 22

MIR-SAT1 (Mauritius Imagery and Radiotelecommunication Satellite 1), the
first amateur radio CubeSat from the Indian Ocean island nation of
Mauritius, is expected to be deployed from the International Space Station
(ISS) on June 22.

MIR-SAT1 will carry an amateur radio V/U digipeater (a downlink of
436.925 MHz has been coordinated). MIR-SAT1 will collect images of the
Republic of Mauritius and its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) using an onboard
camera.

The 1U nanosatellite was designed by a team of Mauritian engineers and radio
amateurs and built by the Mauritius Research and Innovation Council (MRIC).
MIR-SAT1 will be available to the amateur community when the satellite is
not in use for other purposes.
