ARLS011 RadFxSat (Fox-1B) FM Satellite Set to Launch in November
The next AMSAT Fox-1 satellite, RadFxSat (Fox-1B), is scheduled to
launch on November 10 at 0947 UTC. RadFxSat (Fox-1B), which will
carry a 435/145 MHz FM transponder, is one of four CubeSats making
up the NASA ELaNa XIV mission, riding as secondary payloads aboard
the Joint Polar Satellite System-1 (JPSS-1) mission. JPSS-1 will
launch on a Delta II vehicle from Vandenberg Air Force Base,
California.
Information on ElaNa can be found at,
https://www.nasa.gov/content/about-elana .
RadFxSat is a partnership with Vanderbilt University Institute for
Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE) and hosts four payloads for the
study of radiation effects on commercial off-the-shelf components.
It will carry a Fox-1 style FM U/V repeater with an uplink on
435.250 MHz (67.0 Hz CTCSS) and a downlink on 145.960 MHz. Satellite
and experiment telemetry will be downlinked via the DUV subaudible
telemetry stream, which can be decoded using FoxTelem software.
The FoxTelem software can be downloaded from,
