Attention search: spacecraft DX1

Finally, close to the accomplishment of our long-awaited event - the launch of a spacecraft DX1 Tuesday July 8th. We would like to ask for help to all radio amateurs who are interested to receive signals spacecraft. We offer you to take part in "catching" our satellite immediately after the start.





Start will be at 19:58 Moscow time from the Baikonur cosmodrome. Based on the parameters of the orbit, the first successful communication session is expected in 3 hours over Eastern Europe, and then the satellite returns to Russia after only a few turns of a few hours from the Far East. Therefore, our PCO in Moscow will hold the first session the next day. Satellite radio beacon broadcasts in amateur radio frequency, so everyone will be able to hear it before us. Moreover, such assistance, we need to refine its orbit and confirm availability. Therefore, our gratitude will be supported souvenirs for successful hunters from around the world.


The parameters of the radio beacon mode:

· Carrier frequency: 438,225 MHz
· Protocol used: AX.25
o Call Sign Source: DSC001
o Call Sign Receiver: Dauria
· Size TMI frame within AX.25 packet 55 bytes
· Speed: 9600 bit / s
· Modulation GFSK
