The Innospace HANBIT-NANO rocket is almost ready to launch from Brazil’s Alcantara Space Center.

Related nasaspaceflight forum thread.

There will be 5 payloads and other hosted ones.

  • FloripaSat-2A and -2B (2U, Brazil)
  • Jussara-K (1U, Brazil)
  • Pion-BR2 (1U, Brazil)
  • Solaris S2 (1U, India)

Some information about Brazilian satellites:

  • Jussara-K = 468.500MHz | LoRA
  • FloripaSat-2A = 468.200MHz | GMSK 1k2 NGHam (Software for decoding HERE)
  • FloripaSat-2B = No publicly available link. Its payload data are transmitted to FloripaSat-2A through a low-power LoRa

No information for Pion-BR2.

Orbit Information:

Target Altitude = 300km (Originally 500km was expected… This change to 300km meant that some satellites could not be launched on this rocket)

Target Inclination: 40°

Yes, Jussara-K will transmit the packets in LoRa.
Frequency: 468.5MHz
BW: 250KHz
CR: 5
SF: 9

Hello and thank you for the info!

Could we get the remainder of the LoRa parameters, please?

-preamble bits

-syncword

-CRC on/off

-LDRO on/off

Hi Igor @pu4elt,

Is there an IQ ir wav file available to test the spacelab-decoder? TKS!

BTW, I did my install to use the decoder in a virtual environment to avoid using python setup.py install on my linux mint 22.2 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS), and possible dependency conflicts.
see below for link to script for that purpose.

git clone GitHub - spacelab-ufsc/spacelab-decoder: SpaceLab Packet Decoder

cd spacelab-decoder

copy new install script to the spacelab-decoder directory, and run it from there.

Link to my install script https://mega.nz/file/npV03L7b#U_-k3XHtSrxEaM0-057WZDKLGuH-elHNDUfKhzBB_a4

Good Hunting all,

Bob

Thanks Bob - you certainly saved me a lot of time!

Note that the “Data Output” option sends JSON formatted decodes to whatever you have listening on the (default) port TCP-7359.

So, as one example, the command

nc -l 7359 | jq

will setup a listener for the SpaceLab Decoder to connect to. I’m sure there are other options as well. But here is that display:

run_with_JSON_output
run_with_JSON_output1911×1019 246 KB

… you could certainly pipe the JSON-formatted output to a file; another option is that Node-Red parses JSON input extremely well, too.

The sample file used here is from: grs/samples at master · floripasat/grs · GitHub

(note that this test was w/ the ‘beacon’ sample file… the ‘download’ sample file produced errors in the decoder)

Unfortunately, I don’t have any IQ files… I’ll see if I can get something today… If I manage to find an IQ file, I’ll share it with you here.

Hi Igor,

TKS looking. Just found sample audio files here grs/samples at master · floripasat/grs · GitHub

The beacon file works for testing.

GL,

Bob

A calculation of TLE sets using this gist:

EDIT: It seems something is off, I’m checking again my calculations and I’ll update the TLE
EDIT 2: One of the dates was off, I’m calculating again the TLE and I’ll return with a new post.

Given that this is the first flight, I’m going to wait for the launch before make available the satellites for scheduling in Network, as the launch time may change.

Apparently it has already undergone a change, but nothing official (I received the news from a colleague who is in Maranhão to cover the launch).

Very good, Bob!! I hadn’t found those audio files yet.

Is this like couple of minutes, hours or maybe days?

These are the right calculated TLE sets:

Initially, hours (According to him, the launch was postponed to 2025-12-19 20:00UTC/17:00BRT) but again… I’m not sure about that.

Looking at GOES, I see some slightly heavy clouds in that region.

nice script. just want add, if you running old debian or old ubuntu maybe will find error like cannot found libgirepository-2.0-dev package. you can substitute with:
sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev

but dont forget to edit requirements.txt and change
from:
PyGObject
to
PyGObject==3.50.0

if you dont change, it will make error like:
../meson.build:31:9: ERROR: Dependency 'girepository-2.0' is required but not found.

and dont forget to add -r option, so the command become:
pip install -r requirements.txt

additional command that also important before you run pip install -r is:
pip cache purge

Hi Bob,

Thanks for this information, I was only wondering if these are IQ or demodulated audio files?
And of course the ssmple rate.
