Vega launch of three satellites with ham radio payloads
Christophe Mercier reports
three satellites with amateur radio payloads will be on the Vega VV16
launch expected to take place early morning on September 2
On the AMSAT Bulletin Board he writes:
The Vega rocket (VV16) is scheduled to leave Kourou on 02 september 2020
at 3h36 CEST with 53 satellites on board.
One of the satellites that will be leaving is the Amicalsat satellite
built by the CSUG (Centre Spatial Universitaire Grenoblois). The
measurements made by the satellite will be available to all. They will
allow radio amateurs to use them for propagation predictions.
The project's website (in english) has just been put online:

The Amsat-Francophone supported this project:

A software (Linux & Windows) is provided for decoding the telemetry and
sending it to the database (SatNogs). The user manual is available (in
English)
