AMOS-5 już na orbicie

[Harti]

jestem ciekaw w jakiej polaryzacji będą nadawać

Stawiam na liniową, bo taka była używana do testów na starym amosie, ale zobaczymy.

"Amos 5 will commence commercial operations tomorrow (January 25), operator Spacecom has confirmed.

Spacecom said Amos 5 was “in great shape and ready to go”.

The satellite’s launch on December 11, 2011 came after some lengthy delays with Globes reporting that Spacecom had reached a deal with satellite manufacturer, Russian Information Satellite Systems (ISI), over fines resulting from the craft’s late delivery. The $200 million (€154m) cost as been reduced by $13.5 million.

Amos 5 has a pan-African C-band and Ku-band payload. It is positioned at 17 degrees East."

Czyli od jutra warto zacząć tu zaglądać.

[Harti]

Zaglądam już od niedzieli, ale na razie cisza. Praktycznie tutaj trzeba zacząć od anteny 3m, bo moja może być za mała

Jak będzie pierwszy testowy transponder to ruszę z pozycji 38e na 17e
