   ARLS002 RadFxSat (Fox-1B) Launch Moved to Late August   
      
   AMSAT reports that the launch date for RadFxSat (Fox-1B) has been moved to   
   August 29, 2017. RadFxSat is one of four CubeSats making up the NASA ELaNa XIV   
   mission, riding as secondary payloads aboard the Joint Polar Satellite System   
   JPSS-1 mission.   
      
   Information on ElaNa can be found on the web at, https://www.nas   
   .gov/mission_pages/smallsats/elana/index.html .   
      
   RadFxSat features the Fox-1 style Amateur Radio FM U/V repeater, with an   
   uplink on 435.250 MHz (67.0 Hz CTCSS) and a downlink on 145.960 MHz. Satellite   
   and experiment telemetry will be downlinked   
   via the "DUV" subaudible telemetry stream and can be decoded with the FoxTelem   
   software.   
      
   JPSS-1 will launch on a Delta II from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.   
   RadFxSat is a partnership with Vanderbilt University ISDE and hosts four   
   payloads for the study of radiation effects on   
   commercial off-the-shelf components.   
      
   RadFxSat construction and testing was completed in the fourth quarter of 2016,   
   and the CubeSat is currently in clean storage at Fox Labs, awaiting delivery   
   and integration, now scheduled for June.
