CubeBel-1 (BSUSat-1) is scheduled for Launch on 29, October 2018 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center (NW China) with CFOSAT.
CubeBel-1 is a 2U CubeSat, developed by team of students and young scientists of Belarusian State University.
The satellite will serve as a basis for various aspects of the aerospace educational and research programs at the university. In the context of practical courses, students will learn to receive and process telemetry and satellite imagery, to test various stabilization algorithms, calculate orbital elements, to study gamma spectra at low Earth orbit, etc. Students will study also the radio systems of amateur satellites and get an idea of amateur radio. The satellite has been equipped with a digital repeater for the purpose of amateur radio community.

The help of amateur radio community is very important for the CubeBel-1 team. Our team ask observers to listen for the FM telemetry beacon on 436.990 MHz and send reports to eu1xx.ko33ru@gmail.com . The received telemetry could be sent to the project’s website https://bsusat.com soon (under construction now).
The first 10 observers who sent *.kss files or other useful information will be awarded prizes!
