Hello CubeSats and Amateur Radio Operators!
The very first PhoneSat?s will be launching aboard the Antares on April 17
th at 1700 EDT (launch window to April 19th possibly further). We have
manifested 2x PhoneSat 1.0 and 1x PhoneSat 2.0 Beta.
Our orbit is very low (270km x 300km 51.6deg) and we?ll only be up there
for 2 weeks! So we?re looking for as many people as possible to help with
tracking our satellites!
If any of you are interested in tracking the satellite please let myself
(+the cc?d team) know ? your help will be greatly appreciated!
All three satellites will be transmitting on *437.425MHz* and TLE?s + more
info can be found at www.phonesat.org ? consolidated info sheet attached.
Feel free to tune-in and submit packets to

Next week, we are scheduled to carry out the first flight of our new
Antares space launch vehicle from Wallops Island, Virginia. The current
launch date for the test flight is April 17, with a targeted launch time of
5:00 p.m. (EDT). The available window extends until 8:00 p.m., if
necessary, to accommodate any pre-launch holds in the countdown that may
arise.
The Antares launch will be webcast over NASA.gov and broadcast on NASA TV
beginning at 4:00 p.m. (EDT). A NASA host, Kyle Herring, and our own John
Steinmeyer of LSG will provide commentary for the broadcast.
