Detailed Description
Arsene-OSCAR 24 was launched May 13, 1993 by a Ariane V-56A from Kourou, French Guiana. Orbit elliptical, equatorial. Mode B (145.975 MHz downlink (1200 bps FM AFSK)) and Mode S (2446.54 MHz downlink transponders).
Arsene was a French packet relay satellite built by French Radio Amateur Club de l'Espace. The packet system was never implemented because the 2 meter transponder failed soon after launch. Arsene was then used to relay SSB and CW signals on 2.4 GHz for several months until this transponder failed as well.
