HADES-ICM telemetry over Stockholm 2025-04-10

Strong signal over 25 degree elevation, easy to decode. Link to decoder in post. Equipment and software used:

  • RX at 436.662 MHz USB
  • 2 x 13 el LFA X-Yagi (InnovAntenna) switched between horizontal and vertical polarisation
  • AlfaSpid RAS az/el rotor
  • LNA Mini-70 from SHF Elektronik
  • LMR-400 coax
  • Airspy Mini SDR
  • SDR-Console v3 with doppler correction of downlink and satellite tracking, rotor control
  • PstRotator for rotor control interface between SDR-Console and RAS controller
  • Kepler element number used: 63492
  • VB-Cable: virtual audio cable for piping audio from SDR Console to Soundmodem. Set to 96 kHz and 16 bit.
  • Genesis 200bd Soundmodem v0.03b and AMSAT-EA KISS Console, download from:
    uz7.ho.ua/genesis200.zip

HADES-ICM was deployed last Monday, March 31, at 7:37 UTC from OTV ION-SCV-017. Telemetry data shows the satellite is in good condition. The satellite has already accepted commands and now it is undergoing a testing phase. The final TLE is not yet available but you can use this one (Source SatNOGS):

HADES-ICM
1 98637U 25052X 25092.34373891 .00000000 00000-0 42496-2 0 03
2 98637 97.4434 347.3229 0004588 342.2991 86.6061 15.18376415 09

The repeater will not be active until we have its final TLE and the satellite has been fully checked. This can take several weeks.

The same software as for HADES-R can be used for demodulating and decoding. (Recommended Andy’s Soundmodem).
