Hi Piraja, I'm most interested in this project, as I collected a lot of magnetometer data from OSCAR-11 when it was fully operational.
Will you be transmitting WOD data, and publish full details of the format and decoding equations, so that we can all analyse it. 73 Clive G3CWV Hitchin, North Hertfordshire, UK On 23/07/2011 14:53, ps8rf Piraja wrote: > > Brazil is preparing to launch the NANOSATC-BR.
