ESEO -The European Student Earth Orbiter - development gets underway

Graham Shirville G3VZV provides an update on ESEO which is the second micro-satellite mission within ESA's Education Satellite Programme.

The ESA Education website now has this interesting page concerning the ESEO satellite mission:

Slightly greater technical information is also available on the AMSAT-UK website here:

We are not able to be more precise at this time as detailed discussions about the communications sub-system have still to take place - hopefully we will have some firm decisions within a few weeks so that design, development and manufacture of the hardware can commence quickly.

We promise to keep information about this project flowing as much as we can.

Best 73 from the AMSAT-UK team!
