Dear All,

I am newcomer. I am from Vietnam National Space Center, the NanoDragon owner.

Our satellite will be launched on Oct. 1, 2021 by Epsilon No. 5. I hope you can help us the hear the TLM signal from this satellite. If you need any more information, please kindly tell me.

NanoDragon downlink UHF frequency: 437.365 Mhz; Baudrate 1.2kbps; Square Root Raise Cosine(SRRC) with rolloff=0.5; modulation: BPSK

NanoDragon will be deployed from the rocket around 1:50 UTC, Oct. 1, 2021 above Canada.

Everything is ready for the launch!

Quote

The launch test of Epsilon Rocket No. 5 was conducted prior to the launch on Oct. 1.

The Epsilon Rocket No. 5, which is scheduled to be launched from the Uchinoura Space Center in Kimotsuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture on October 1, appeared on the morning of the 23rd for the launch rehearsal.

The rehearsal was to confirm the operation at the same time as the actual launch, and the 26-meter Epsilon rocket is ready for launch.

Epsilon will carry nine satellites into space and a total of 14 experiments will be conducted on technologies and ideas selected through open contracting with private companies and universities.

The Epsilon No. 5 rocket is scheduled to launch at 00:48 UTC on October 1, but the city of Kimotsuki, Japan, will be the first to launch the Epsilon No. 5 rocket at 00:48 UTC on October 1.

Other information about the mission:
-Rocket description.
The Epsilon launch vehicle is a three-stage solid propellant rocket developed by leveraging technologies developed for the M-V and H-IIA rockets. Epsilon 5 will be equipped with a small liquid propulsion system (PBS: Post Boost Stage) on top of the third stage to improve the satellite's orbit insertion accuracy.
In addition to the PBS, Epsilon-5 is equipped with the Epsilon Satellite Mounting Structure (ESMS) and the Epsilon Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (E-SSOD). (E-SSOD: Epsilon Small Satellite Orbital Deployer), and will consist of nine satellites: the second small demonstration satellite, four microsatellites and four CubeSats. The Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstrator-2 (ISAT-2), consisting of nine satellites, four nanosatellites and four CubeSats, will be launched.
- Fall of the rocket stages.
Fall of the First stage and the satellite fairing: Between 7 and 23 minutes later.
Fall of the second stage: Between 12 and 28 minutes later.
