Orbit data

Shin'en-2 ( Japanese し ん え ん 2 ; after the start also Fuji-OSCAR 82 , FO-82 for short ) is a Japanese amateur radio satellite that was built by students from the University of Kagoshima .

Furnishing

The Einsatziele of the project are to establish communication technologies over long distances and new technologies on a small satellite with UHF - downlink to test.

The satellite has a beacon in WSJT (29  dBm ) in the UHF range, a linear transponder (mode J, 29 dBm, bandwidth 20 kHz) and a telegraph beacon ( CW ).

The AMSAT has the satellites OSCAR awarded -number 82nd The name "Fuji" was chosen to refer to the long history of Japanese involvement in amateur radio satellites ( JAS 1 , JAS 1B , JAS 2 , etc.).

mission

Shin'en-2 was launched on December 3, 2014 as a secondary payload together with Hayabusa 2 with an H-IIA rocket.

The satellite entered an elliptical orbit around the Sun and is in an orbit between Venus and Mars . The orbital inclination is close to zero, which means that the satellite will remain in the earth's orbital plane. The distance to the sun will be between 0.7 and 1.3  AU .

Frequencies

The frequencies for the satellite with the callsign JG6YIG have been coordinated by the International Amateur Radio Union :

  • 437.505 MHz telegraph beacon
  • 437.385 MHz WSJT telemetry
  • inverting SSB / CW transponder:
    • 145.940-145.960 MHz uplink LSB
    • 435.280-435.260 MHz downlink USB
