SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C

Catalog number: 27607

Launch date: December 20, 2002


Status: Operational.


Current Mode: V/u


Uplink:   145.850 MHz FM - 67.0 Hz PL tone

Downlink: 436.795 MHz


Mode and Antenna Polarization:

V: Linear

U: Linear


Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml

(not up and running currently)


To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4

Hz. The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):

1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute

timer on board the spacecraft.

2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the re-

peater on and off within the 10 Minute window.

3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset

the 10 minute timer.
