Thousands watch CubeSat deployment
Three CubeSats were deployed on Friday from the Japanese Experiment Module Kibo aboard the International Space Station.
The satellites were Irazu from Costa Rica, 1KUNS-PF from Kenya and UBAKUSAT from Turkey.
All of them carry amateur radio telemetry payloads; UBAKUSAT also carries a linear transponder for SSB and CW.
Details of the beacon and transponder frequencies can be found via amsat-uk.org.
The deployment was broadcast live from the ISS via YouTube and was watched by thousands of people.
