XiWang-2A , or XW-2A for short , also CAS-3A , is a Chinese microsatellite which is used for experiments on the physics of the thermosphere and is an amateur radio satellite . XiWang is Mandarin and means "hope". CAS stands for "Chinese amateur radio satellite". This satellite was developed by the Chinese amateur radio satellite group, CAMSAT. The satellite with the callsign BJ1SB has a 20 kHz wide linear transponder.
mission
The satellite was launched on September 19, 2015 on a Long March 6 launcher from the Taiyuan Cosmodrome in China together with 20 other small satellites, including nine other satellites from the CAS 3 series. An orbital lifespan of 8.5 years is expected.
