Student-Led CatSat Mission Transmits its First Signals!

CatSat, the University's first satellite built entirely by students, broke free of its 2nd stage launch vehicle around 11am MST on Monday July 15th. The University of Arizona student team behind this endeavor is now in regular contact with CatSat using the ground station they built at the Arizona Research Building. There are typically two passes over Tucson a day and the team is busy commissioning the satellite during those passes.

The signal from CatSat is also being picked up by amateur radio ground stations all over the world via the SatNOGS network.
