As I see it there's no absolute guarantee that any satellite won't become an orbital hazard at some point. The debris from weapons testing in space can generate hundreds of thousands of fragments but the biggest hazard is natural debris - there are tens of millions of natural debris

Based on a high elevation pass (82 deg) with satellite rise over the Pacific, 1998-067EM (39568) is a very good fit. AOS was within 10 seconds of predicted AOS. Doppler correction tracked good through TCA. 73, Ken W7KKE Lincoln City, OR ___ Sent via

Is CDMA an authorized emission type for the Amateur service? What is the chipping rate/bandwidth of these? Don't the PRN sequences need to be made public so as not to be classified as encryption ? Detailed specs on the Sprites is in short supply. Has anyone done a link budget, seems like allot

If I understand the situation correctly they didn't send the first command to LitSat-1 until today at 15:30:26 EET. I would image they will want to be confident in the operation of the satellite before activating the transponder  - I'm looking forward to it whenever it happens. 73 Trevor

I am not sure we are talking about the same bird Trevor. Is LituanicaSat-1 the same as LitSat-1. I thought they were 2 different satellites? I was asking about the one built by the Kaunas University of Technology LituanicaSat-1. This bird is the one that has the FM transponder, FM CW beacon and
