Jan Poppeliers ON7UX has made available an AMSAT-ON video report on the OUFTI-1 D-STAR CubeSat.
The 10 minute video is in French although there is some English text.
It starts with a presentation by the Project Manager Amandine Denis ON4EYA and is followed by Xavier Werner ON5XAM describing the reception of the satellite signal on a D-STAR radio and a classic analog amateur rig.
In the last 2 minutes there are demonstrations of antenna deployment and using a classic rig to receive the D-STAR signal.
OUFTI-1 is currently scheduled to be launched on a Vega rocket towards the end of 2012.
The YouTube description reads:
Fifteen students are currently working nearly full-time on OUFTI-1, so technical advances are numerous! At on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 the OUFTI-1 team presented at the Montefiore Institute of the University of Liège the current state of development of the first Belgian student nanosatellite and recent realizations in the OUFTI-1 project, as well a demonstration of ongoing activities. Adaptation for D-STAR protocol of a classic transceiver is one of their developments. The good relation between the OUFTI-1 team and the UBA section GBX (Gembloux) was clearly noticeable.
