 RS-39 Chibis-M deploys tonight
RS-39 will be deployed at around 23:18:30 UT on Tuesday, January 24, and radio amateurs are asked to send reception reports.
RS-39 has CW beacons on 435.315 and 435.215 MHz that can be received directly by schools and colleges for educational outreach purposes.
The team of RS-39 will very much appreciate any reception reports of “Chibis-M”. Special attention is requested for the first orbits as these are outside of control stations for “Chibis-M”. Each report will be confirmed by special QSL card. The email address is
