Hi Hans ( @pb2t ),
Thank you for your comment on the general terms.
I like to come back to QUBE since Jan asked you to share your view on this subject.
The frequency coordination for QUBE was declined two weeks after the application date.
The reason stated on the IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Status page was:
" … the IARU Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel has discussed the QUBE coordination request and has problems to assign frequencies for a mainly scientific mission.
The panel suggests that you use frequency bands not allocated to the amateur satellite service."
Since there are 11 form pages to fill out for the coordination request, I expected more than just “has problems to assign frequencies for a mainly scientific mission” as an explanation for the rejection.
I and certainly also the community really like to understand this decision and have therefore further questions.
- What exactly made the coordination panel think it should “mainly” be a scientific mission?
- What does “mainly” refer to?
- What are the “problems”?
We are curious about your answers.
