AMSAT Bulletin Highlights August Amateur-Satellite Launch and New Coordinations

AMSAT’s August 23 News Service bulletin reports that the student-built JAMX01 and BY70-4 satellites are scheduled to launch August 25. The bulletin says JAMX01 is planned to carry amateur telemetry, digital-image transmissions, and an FM digipeater; it lists a 145.950 MHz uplink and several 435 MHz downlinks. Operators should treat those details as pre-launch information and watch for final coordination and operating notices.

The same bulletin summarizes recent IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination activity, including newly coordinated educational missions and several new applications. That is useful context for satellite operators following future packet, telemetry, and transponder opportunities.
