[amsat-bb] Details on upcoming launch? [Was: KEPS for PCsat, ...]

[John Mock <kd6pag@xxxxxxx>]

Can anyone tell me what downlinks will be used on the amateur satellites
listed in the following launch forecast?

    Sept 17: Lockheed Martin Athena 1 with NASA's Starshine and STP's
    Picosat, Sapphire and PCSat -- together known as Kodiak Star --
    from Kodiak Launch Complex. 9 to 11 p.m. EDT (0100 to 0300 GMT
    Sept. 18).

When i tried to find information on the WWW about these, i didn't come up
with much.  The only thing i found was a request for frequencies for PCSat.

    http://web.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/pcsat/freqs.txt

There are lots of pages on Sapphire, many of which have bad (but repairable)
links:

    http://ssdl.stanford.edu/squirt1/sapphire_overview.html

But i didn't see frequencies in that collection, either.

Are any others on that flight operating in the amateur service?  If so, any
idea where to find out more?
