   ARLS013 Launch Date Set for AMSAT Fox-1A   
      
   AMSAT Vice President of Engineering Jerry Buxton, N0JY, has announced that the   
   Fox-1A CubeSat will launch on October 8 from California. It initially had been   
   set to launch in August.   
      
   Fox-1A will include an FM transponder with an uplink frequency of 435.180 MHz,   
   and a downlink frequency of 145.980 MHz.   
      
   The first phase of the Fox series 1-Unit CubeSats will allow simple ground   
   stations using hand-held transceivers and simple dual-band antennas to make   
   contacts. The Fox-1 CubeSats also will be able to transmit continuous   
   telemetry during normal transponder operation. The satellites will feature 200   
   bps telemetry in the audio spectrum below 300 Hz.
