DTUsat
DTUsat is a picosatellite designed and built by students from the Technical University of Denmark, DTU. The satellite will be launched on June 30th 14:14 GMT onboard a Russian Rockot-launcher, a reused SS-19 ballistic missile.
DTUSAT is on 437.475 MHz (2400 b/s)
DTUSAT sends burst of data every second min. Every 5th burst should be CW - but with a 1200 Hz tone so that it can be heard
on a FM receiver. It will send OZ2DTU DTUSAT at 13 words/min.

ISS crosses the Sun
Once again , the opportunity arose to catch ISS crossing the Sun from my location in the UK
This time I decided to reduce the field of view in order to maximise the size of the target.
Despite last minute gremlins a good frame was captured showing a detailed station against the backdrop of the solar surface.
The result is now posted on my website
http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk
via the ISS Lunar and Solar transit link.
Best wishes,
