- UMKA-1 SSTV over Stockholm 2025-08-30
The UMKA-1 satellite has turned on it’s SSTV transmission on 437.625 MHz FM Robot 36-mode. Strong downlink that should be possible to receive with a simple yagi without elevation. Equipment used: Short video from the pass: - Ten-Koh-2 with linear transponder and 5 GHz beacon
Ten-Koh-2 is a satellite planned to be released from ISS later this year (2025). From several sources (see below) we can read that it will include linaer VHF/UHF transponder and a 5 GHz beacon. From IARU: More information: - Decode QO-100 PSK beacon
This is nothing new, but it is actually the first time I have done it. The PSK Beacon can be found on 10489,745 MHz and you can use the following Windows software: IZ8BLY P3D Decoder. I have tested this one, and it… Read more: Decode QO-100 PSK beacon - JAMSAT to develop multi-mode transponders for CubeSats
