The launch of LUSEX, second AMSAT ARGENTINA amateur
satellite next May 30, will mark an extraordinary
event for our Institution and the fostering of hope
for the satellite community. Details of LUSEX
(LU Satellite EXperiment) are available on
http://lusex.org.ar .
As mentioned on the announcement of the launch
of this experiment, Amsat Argentina has been working on,
for several years, to keep alive the dream of many
Argentine amateurs: to get back into Space with their
own satellite as a follow-up of the legendary 1990's
LUSAT-1, making use of the benefits of Technological
advancement of our days.
We believe technical activities and the development of
experiments in near space share the same goals: preserving
the human group, enhancing their capabilities as well as
disseminating and guiding the education and development of
the activity, meanwhile contributing to Space available resources.
Satellogic Enterprises already launched three low orbit
satellites: Captain Beto, Manolito, and Tita, two of which
transmit telemetry and data currently in UHF identifying
themselves with callsign LU7AA. Our agreement with Satellogic
Enterprises allowed us to ride a linear analog amateur radio
transponder and corresponding antenna aboard one of their next
satellite, ÑUSAT-1.
AMSAT-LU provides simultaneous support for this mission and the
ÑUSAT-2 mission, by operating one of the control
stations at Tortuguitas, Buenos Aires.
The experiment developed by Amsat-LU evolved from an original
design of our colleague and partner William, PE1RAH.
The electronic adaptation, mechanics, and software was made
by LUSEX group and was mounted on a 10 x 10 centimeters
radiating plate, in which components of the power supply
as well as a duplexer and dual band antenna were also incorporated.
This set was installed on the Ñusat-1 bus, which supplies power
and is integrated as part of several other experiments this
satellite will perform.
The transponder receives UHF which is broadcasted in VHF,
has a bandwidth of 30 kHz and an output power of 250 mW.
435,935 ~ 435,965 are LSB/CW uplink.
145,965 ~ 145,935 are USB/CW downlink.
145,900 Basic CW Telemetry.
The launch will be done from a Chinese launcher to a polar orbit
at 500 km altitude, with inclination of 97 degrees from Equator.
