Lost in yesterday’s thrilling launch of the SpaceX Falcon-9/Dragon launch was that during their flight, they also apparently deployed a cubesat: CAERUS (which is apparently Greek for “opportunity”). It has a 900mw FM AFSK beacon downlink on 437.600, and operates under the amateur callsign KJ6FIX. I have not as yet been able to locate TLEs for the satellite, so I’m not sure of its orbit, period and the like, but it might be good to try to give it a listen.

Information Sciences Institute – CAERUS.

Addendum: The Falcon9 also carried a nanosatellite for the Army.
