AMSAT India thanks ARISSat Team - NITIN VU3TYG
Nitin Muttin VU3TYG, secretary of AMSAT-India, has thanked the ARISSat project team for their work in developing the new Amateur Radio satellite ARISSat-1.
On the AMSAT bulletin board he writes:
It was a great pleasure to watch the deployment of the ARISSat-1 from the ISS on NASA TV. On behalf of AMSAT INDIA I would like to thank all at AMSAT, ARISSat project team for enabling this capability for the Amateur Radio fraternity. I was able to hear the signals on 145.950 during the 03:57 UTC on 08/5/2011 over India and decoded a SSTV image and heard the CW on 145.919 but was unable to decode the telemetry using ARISSATLM application. Will try again to decode the telemetry and also the linear transponder.
Many Radio Hams in Bangalore have reported hearing the signals on 145.950.
