    ITF-2 CubeSat Set to Deploy from ISS


    Toshihiro Kameda, JJ3GRX/W3GRX, of the University of Tsukuba’s “Yui” satellite project in Japan, reports that the ITF-2 (“imagine the future”) CubeSat is set for release from the International Space Station (ISS) on Monday, January 16, at 0910 UTC.

    The 1U ITF-2 was designed and built at the university.

    The Amateur Radio downlink is 437.525 MHz.

    Updated information will be announced on the AMSAT Bulletin Board.

    ITF-2 is the successor to the unsuccessful ITF-1, which launched in 2014 but was never heard

    any ideas about TLE/Keps for these? I guess the delta-V from the launcher is pretty small so the cubesats ought to stay near the ISS, for a while.

    Another bird to listen for! I need to return to the AMSAT site and check for updated listings, should there be an uplink frequency that will be open.
