Delfi-n3Xt Satellite

The Delfi-n3Xt has a 435/145 MHz linear transponder and is on the November 21 Dnepr launch. Jasper PC4JB sends this update:

Dear radio amateurs,

We have made some changes to the webserver and the telemetry client to resolve some issues with the connection as stated before. It seems that the system is now improved, but we are not a 100% certain if it will be stable for long term. Unfortunately our resources and time are limited, so we have decided to go ahead with the systems as-is.

Attached is the new DUDe client, version 5.0. Please delete the previous version (4.7) in case you still have this on your computer. Thank you for your help and patience so far!

After orbit injection of Delfi-n3Xt, the satellite will first be idle for 25 minutes and then start deployment of about 5 minutes. The satellite will not transmit on the 145.870 MHz during eclipse, so the first time Delfi-n3Xt can theoretically be heard is about 8:38h UTC.

Attached are also the pre-launch TLE set which can be used in tracking programs. We will announce new TLEs on our website after launch as soon as they become available. After a few days, the satellite should appear in one of the regular automatically updated lists.

I am looking forward for a wonderful launch next Thursday, with many radio amateur satellites on board, and of course successful reception of Delfi-n3Xt!
