Hi AMSATs, wanna play with our digipeating satellite in MEO? Try to use the now-active GreenCube's digipeater at 5800 km here and let us know! s5lab.space/index.php/digi… Thanks to AMSAT ITALIA for their support during the development!

CONGRATULATIONS to Scott Chapman and @kd8cao for the first complete contact with our GreenCube digipeater!!! Looking forward to all the new contacts in the next days and weeks... (See how to use the GreenCube Digipeater HERE: s5lab.space/index.php/digi…)

Seven of our students are at European Space Agency ESTEC to follow the FYS! Design Booster training week for the new Educational Programme by ESA Education . The visit to the replica of the ISS Columbus module was given by our good old friend Paxi !

BY POPULAR DEMAND: We will postpone the maintenance & down link operations of GreenCube of 1 week. The Digipeater will now be OFF at 23:59 UTC on Feb 13 and will come back ON at 00:01UTC on Feb 20. Thanks for the many enthusiastic messages and enjoy your hamradio campaigns! ♥️🛰️

Updates from the GreenCube: we need to send a telecommand to the satellite to put it back to digi mode, but we had a power&internet outage just before a long weekend of holiday. We’re waiting for everything to be stable again at the lab and we’ll be back! Don’t miss us too much🚀

More updates on GreenCube 🌱: communication with the satellite is restored but we need more passes for data down link & housekeeping. We will resume the digipeater mode on June 12 at 0:00UTC 🕰️🛰️! Thanks for your messages and patience, your favorite digi will be back soon 🙏💚

We have some connection issues at the ground station (again during bank holidays in Rome…) - we will restore the digipeater mode and schedules of both GREENCUBE and LEDSAT on Monday, as soon as we’re back to the lab 🥺🛰️ we’ll keep you posted, sorry for this! ♥️

Update from our OPS room: 📡 Ground Station: connection issue fixed 🛰️ LEDSAT: reinstalled to nominal mode. DIGI back on tomorrow, Jul6, with original schedule 🛰️ GREENCUBE: Stay tuned for further updates. Will start some telemetry operations at next pass over Rome (~1hr)

Updates from the OPS Room: 🛰️ GREENCUBE DIGI now on. Thanks a lot for your patience! ♥️
