China’s first Amateur Radio satellite
Posted | archive
It’s called XW-1 or 希望一号. From AMSAT China:
AMSAT-NA OSCAR Number Coordinator Bill Tynan, W3XO has informed Alan Kung, BA1DU, Amateur Satellite Project Manager and Chief Executive Officer of AMSAT-China that XW-1 is now designated as Hope OSCAR 68, or HO-68.
Bill wrote, “The satellite was launched successfully 15 December from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center of China, on a CZ-4C rocket. Amateur Radio Operators around the world have received beacon signals from XW-1.”
Anyone else is thinking of HAM your twitter and stuff inside China? lol
