The IARU has announced frequency coordination has been completed for HA-1, a 2U CubeSat developed by the Teenagers Amateur Radio Centre of Activity in Huaian, China. HA-1 is planned for launch on December 20.
HA-1 will be mainly used for teenagers in Huaian to carry out activities related with amateur radio and aerospace science education. The CubeSat is equipped with amateur radio repeater and SSTV(Slow Scan Television) component, which is to validate still image transmission in narrowband voice channel.
There is an SSTV beacon, which puts Date/Time/Location information/temp- erature etc. on a SSTV picture. Amateurs worldwide can also use HA-1 to test SSTV via the CubeSat.
