I would like to ratify some mistakes in the text we sent. The name of the satellite is NANOSATC-BR. The name of the project coordinator of the satellite and the INPE is Mr. Otávio Durão, not is Jose Manuel Octávio.
Dear Domenico, I think he is not involved in this project. In conversations I had with the coordinators of the project was informed only the support of Amateur Radio Association Santamariense - ASRA through Lauro Barbosa Alves, PY3EB. Um forte abraço, Pirajá, PS8RF The Amateur Radio is supportive and helpful in any circumstance. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Cubesat NANOSATC-BR > Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:45:00 +0200 > > Hi Piraja' ,PS8RF > > Is Junior de Castro PY2BJO from AMSAT Brazil BRAMSAT involved in > this project ? > > 73" de > > i8CVS Domenico > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "ps8rf Piraja" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 3:53 PM > Subject: [amsat-bb] Cubesat NANOSATC-BR > > > > Brazil is preparing to launch the NANOSATC-BR.
