SB SPACE ARL ARLS002
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.
