Cubesats Deployed From Vandenberg Atlas V Launch
The Atlas V NROL-36 launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base
in Cali- fornia, originally planned for August, successfully launched on 13
September at 2139 UTC.
This launch carried a satellite for the National
Reconnaissance Office. Also aboard this flight at four cubesats as part of
ELaNa IV mission and seven cubesats for government missions.
Several hours after launch Justin Foley, KI6EPH,
announced via the #Cubesat IRC Channel that all eight P-PODS had successfully
deployed.
The ELaNa Cubesats aboard are:
+ CINEMA (Cubesat for Ion, Neutral, Electron, Magnetic
fields)
o Downlinks for
engineering telemetry and command are in the 2400-2450 MHz
range; Science telemetry is in 2200-2300 MHz range.
+ CSSWE (Colorado Student Space Weather Experiment)
o Downlink
437.345 MHz, 9k6 with AX25
+ CP5 (PolySat)
o Downlink
437.405 MHz at 1 watt, AFSK on LSB AX.25 over NRZI at 1200 baud,
every 2 minutes, begins 3.5 hours after first turn-on.
o Downlink
437.525 MHz, GFSK, AX.25

CubeSat Deployment From ISS Set for September 27
Five cubesats launched on July 21 and now aboard the ISS have been integrated with the J-SSOD small satellite deployer on the the Jap-anese Experiment Module, also known as Kibo. They will be deployed with the Kibo robotic arm planned September 27, 2012. First, 15:10-15:20 UTC: WE-WISH, RAIKO by Astronaut Akihiko Hoshide Second, 16:30-16:40 UTC: TechEdSat, NanoRack/F-1, FITSAT-1 by JAXA GS
