 RS-16 - Russia

  RS-16 is expected to launch in early 1997 into a 95-minute,
  97.2-degree inclination orbit. It will have an uplink band of 145.915
  to 145.948 MHz, a downlink band of 29.415 to 29.448 MHz, and beacons
  at 29.408 MHz, 29.451 MHz, 435.504 MHz, and 435.548 MHz.

 PANSAT - Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California

  PANSAT is a microsatellite design that will provide an amateur radio
  store-and-forward message system. It is being designed and built at
  the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. This amateur
  satellite will be unique among the PACSAT style satellites in that it
  will employ direct sequence spread-spectrum communications.
