I have received a reply from Associate Professor Tokumitsu, one of the members of the KOSEN-2R operations team at Yonago National College of Technology.
According to the information provided, the following details have been confirmed:
-
The object currently being tracked by the KOSEN-2R team is KAKUSHIN RISING OBJECT B (NORAD ID: 68793).
-
At present, the only planned transmitter mode is:
- 465.360 MHz, AFSK 1200 bps
-
If communications are successfully established in the future, they may also consider:
- 465.360 MHz, GMSK 9600 bps
-
Although the spacecraft is capable of transmitting DTMF signals, this mode is not expected to be used due to power consumption considerations.
-
The frequency 436.750 MHz, which was previously submitted to the IARU, will not be used for any transmissions.
In addition, they informed me that IQ samples of the transmitted signals should be available sometime next week.
Based on this information, I will update the corresponding entries in the SatNOGS Database. Please review the updates when they become available.
