Among the reports are:

Congratulations for a successful launch
Dear All,

Just witnessed the very successful launch of Delfi-C3 and all other satellites launched from India via DD National live.  My congratulations to all those involved in making this launch a success.
 
Now awaiting the reception of the first signals some 9 hours from now.  Will have to wait for tomorrow morning to copy the first signal from Delfi-C3 due to it being in eclipse during the first pass over West Malaysia.  Good luck to all those in copying the downlink.

73,

SEEDS Telemetry and Audio
    Hi All,

I captured audio and decoded some of SEEDS telemetry on the first pass over western US at 05:01 UTC. Report and audio can be found here:

Congrats to all sats on a successful launch!! We'll be listening tomorrow, and hope to catch those that weren't heard on the first pass.

Good luck, and 73
