UMKA-1 telescope satellite mission

Hi. The certificates have not been sent out yet, but they are ready. The expectation is related to a technical feature of the form. In the future, it should speed up the application processing process. Don’t worry. I’ll notify you as soon as it starts.

I just received my diploma from the “Orbital Quest” event, see HERE.

Below are two images I received from the UmKA-1 during the event (Obviously I received these images several times :grin:)

Below is the final result of my drawing :

It was one of the best events I’ve ever attended!! Very cool :grinning_face:

Hi, I’d like to know if all the QSL cards for the space game have been sent out? I submitted an application in the form, but I haven’t received a QSL card yet.

Hi. All but two have been processed, as manual processing is required there. However, I do not exclude that any technical problems may have occurred. I can suggest the following option. You are checking the spam folder. If there was no response, write to me here. I will issue the certificate to you manually in the near future (1-2 days).

Got this on the 0900UTC pass over UK. Not perfect since only c25Deg max elev but hopefully good enough for eQSL. Will try for better on later passes over the weekend - tomorrow looks like c50Deg so hopefully some good images will be captured.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my hobby and passion. I’m in Texas visiting my son, and got to share this event with a friend of his. She’s been interested in space and satellites for years, and this was her first “hands on” experience copying a satellite. I think she grinned for the next 6 hours! Might have another ground station in our future.

Thanks for the opportunity for myself, and for the opportunity to share something super cool!
