SEEDS -Space Engineering EDucation Satellite-
|
Abstract
Our first satellie. We completed development of SEEDS in 2004. In July 2006, at Kazakhstan, the launch of SEEDS FM1 (Flight Model 1) was failed because of the launch vehicle's engine trouble.
After the launch failure, we developed SEEDS FM2 (Flight Model 2). We exported FM2 to the University of Toronto, Canada, and finished all checks in June 2007.
FM2 was launched by the Indian PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) in April 28th 2008.

Amateur Radio Service
SEEDS has following Amateur radio function.
・CW downlink
・FM Packet downlink
・Digi-talker
・SSTV
You can get QSL card by recieving SEEDS's radio wave. Please report it from webpage of publishment QSL card.We also want you to upload your downlink data in order to share downlink data with everyone. Use upload webpage anytime. And, you can get special QSL card by recieving Digi-talker and SSTV. We want you to enjoy SEEDS operation.
※You need Keyword in digi-talker voice to get QSL card for digitalker. You also need to explain the feature of SSTV image to get QSL card for SSTV.
