Baikonur launch for UWE-3
This CubeSat project was planned as backup payload for the Vega maiden flight but is now expected to be launched from Baikonur in Q4 2012.
UWE-3 will be an experimental CubeSat which will contribute to the development of an active Attitude Determination and Control System for CubeSats, by testing such a subsystem and serving as a valuable source of experimental data.
In addition a new, advanced On Board Data Handling and a new Communication subsystem will also be tested on the UWE-3.
It is proposed to have FSK telemetry and a CW beacon.
The IARU satellite frequency coordination panel has co-ordinated a downlink frequency of 437.385 MHz.
