Istanbul students plan 145/435 MHz satellite
Students at Istanbul Technical University are working on a 3U CubeSat that will carry a linear transponder for SSB/CW amateur radio communications.
TURKSAT-3USAT will carry a 50kHz bandwidth 145/435 (V/U) linear transponder, beacon and telemetry downlink. It is hoped to have an early 2012 launch into a Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO) at around 680km.
