Launch description based on information shared on forum.nasaspaceflight.com
Atongmu Jiqiren (Atom Robot), the cargo is composed of eleven satellites.
One of the satellites interesting for Ham radio operators, it is CASAA-SAT.
Part of the description given on the following page.
We plan to expand communications with interested Radio amateurs who will be able, whatever their origin on the globe (IARU link), to send a TC and obtain the response in return.
For example, we will be able to send back the last image of the poles, and hopefully of an aurora borealis, if the energy on board is sufficient. If the energy risks being faulty, we can always send back the state of the satellite (temperature, voltage, etc.).
And thanks to this opening, we will be able to cover more regions of the world and better control and exploit our Nanosatellite.
It is hoped that the launch of the satellite and the associated media coverage will also make it possible to strengthen the already existing links with Radio Amateurs and to create a local Radio Club, within which Marseille enthusiasts will be able to meet and exploit CASAA-Sat, which will offer it Ground Station redundancy.
In a short time, software that manages TCs and TMs will be available here to be downloaded, installed on a PC and ready to be used, from anywhere in the world, to communicate with CASAA-Sat.
