   ARLS003 Amateurs Asked to Listen for HORYU-2 Satellite   
      
   The Japanese HORYU-2 research satellite was launched May 17 at 1639   
   UTC as part of a mission that included the JAXA climate observation   
   satellite Shizuku.   
      
   HORYU-2 was built by students at the Kyushu Institute of Technology   
   (KIT) and it carries the call sign JG6YBW. The satellite will   
   conduct a variety of experiments including high-voltage power   
   generation and space debris measurements.   
      
   Amateurs have been asked to monitor HORYU-2's Morse code and   
   1200-baud AX.25 packet telemetry at 437.375 MHz. Telemetry decoding   
   software is available for downloading from KIT and hams are   
   encouraged to submit reports. Details can be found at,   
   http://kitsat.ele.kyutech.ac.jp/index_e_new.html.
