AMSAT-EA Hades PocketQube

Spains URE reports the launch of EASAT-2 and Hades satellites have suffered  
another delay.

A translation of the URE post reads:

EASAT-2 and Hades, the communications satellites for radio amateurs built  
by AMSAT-EA, will not be able to be launched in June with SpaceX as  
planned, as the FAA (the American Aviation Administration) has rejected the  
license to the integrator Momentus Space, On whose orbital transfer vehicle  
Vigoride was to be mounted the AlbaPOD ejector from Alba Orbital, within  
which are the satellites of AMSAT EA, as well as other organizations and  
universities.

The reasons for the FAAs rejection stem from the companys capital  
structure, which, according to the American agency, could endanger the  
national security of the United States. The next launch opportunity could  
come in December.

EASAT-2 and Hades were to have been launched in January this year aboard a  
SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket, but the Momentus license was also rejected by the  
FAA at the time.

Both satellites are FM and FSK voice repeaters, also having digitized voice  
recordings. Hades also incorporates an SSTV camera developed by the  
University of Brno in the Czech Republic and EASAT-2 incorporates as an  
experimental load a basaltic material from Lanzarote, similar to lunar  
basalts, provided by the research group on meteorites and planetary  
geosciences of the CSIC in the Institute of Geosciences, IGEO (CSIC-UCM)  
and that it could be used as a construction material on the Moon. This  
project was promoted and has the collaboration of the ETSICCP (UPM).

The frequencies coordinated with the IARU for both satellites are the  
following:

EASAT-2

• 145.875 MHz uplink, Modes: FM voice (without sub-tone) and FSK 50 bps

• 436.666 MHz downlink, Modes: FM voice, CW, FSK 50 bps, FM voice beacon  
with AM5SAT callsign

HADES

• 145.925 MHz uplink, Modes: FM voice (without sub-tone) and FSK 50 bps

• 436.888 MHz downlink, Modes: FM voice, CW FSK 50 bps, SSTV Robot 36, FM  
voice beacon with callsign AM6SAT
