New CubeSats reach ISS

Three new CubeSats have been taken to the International Space Station for deployment in August.

The satellites, known as MAYA-1, BHUTAN-1 and UiTMSAT-1 were built in Japan by students from Malaysia, Bhutan, and the Philippines.

Collectively known as the BIRDS-2 constellation, the CubeSats will transmit a CW beacon on 437.375MHz throughout their six month life.

Each is also equipped with an APRS digipeater on 145.825MHz and two cameras for earth observation.
