New Amateur Satellite to launch end of April
A new Amateur Radio satellite, Delfi-C3, is due to be launched at the end of April. It will go into a 630 km 90 degree sun-synchronous orbit from the Indian launch site at Sriharikota and will carry a 70 cm to 2 metre linear transponder for SSB and CW working.
The satellite will be in telemetry only mode for approximately the first three months of the mission, after which it will be switched to transponder mode.
