   ARLS003 Several CubeSats with Amateur Radio Payloads Deployed from ISS   
      
   Several CubeSats carrying Amateur Radio payloads were placed into orbit on   
   January 16 from the International Space Station (ISS). Six CubeSats delivered   
   to the ISS in December were deployed from the Kibo airlock using the new JEM   
   Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD).  Information on J-SSOD can be found   
   on the web at, http://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kiboexp/jssod/ .   
      
   Satellites carrying Amateur Radio payloads included ITF-2, Waseda-Sat-3,   
   AOBA-Velox-3, and TuPOD (including Tancredo-1). University of Tsukuba designed   
   and built ITF-2, with a downlink of 437.525 MHz. Waseda-Sat-3, a project of   
   Waseda University, downlinks CW and FM telemetry on 437.29 MHz. AOBA-Velox-3   
   downlinks GMSK telemetry on 437.225 MHz. Tancredo-1, a Brazil middle school   
   project, will transmit AFSK on 437.200 MHz.   
      
   The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has posted a video on the   
   launches and related activities.  Further information can be found on the JAXA   
   website at, http://global.jaxa.jp/ .
