[amsat-bb] Transponder tested on a balloon

["William Leijenaar" <pe1rah@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi AMSATs,

Last saterday (5 juli 2003) a (satellite prototype) mode-uv transponder has 
been tested on a balloon in Germany. For interrested hams I put some 
pictures on my website.

I have no time for long technical stories, so you have to do it with the 
pictures and small descriptions...
This transponder I have made with normal available SMD components, except 
the crystal filter.

This might also be interresting for the discussion if a mode-uv transponder 
will fit into a cubsat, and if it is technically reachable for a student...
(By the way: I'm just a graduated student... :o)

Please look at:
