Falconsat-3 launch successfulReports have been received that the Atlas launch carrying Falconsat-3 into orbit was successful on March 8, 2007. Drew, KO4MA wrote, "We had a great view of the launch tonight. The Atlas is dimmer than the Shuttle or Delta launches, but a nice crimson color. "We talked about the launch on the Florida AMSAT net at 1930, and had several guys outside for both the 88 degree pass of AO-51 at 2030 and watching the launch at 2210 while discussing it on the local repeater system." CelesTrak now has KEPS available at: Likely candidates this early into the mission include 2007-006D, 2007-006E and 2007-006F. When Falconsat-3 completes its primary mission an amateur radio payload is planned to be activated. More details on this feature will become available at that time.
