During the first activation of the APRS digipeater, 421 messages were forwarded. A complete success and another opportunity to support the worldwide amateur radio service through the SONATE-2 mission!

After the launch of SONATE-2, communication with our satellite was established during the first pass over our ground station in Würzburg. We are now starting to analyze the telemetry data received.

The SONATE-2 mission will be launched on 04.03.2024 at 23:05 (CET). A first contact attempt with SONATE-2 is expected around 70 minutes after the launch.

The launch of SONATE-2 with the Transporter 10 mission on board the Falcon 9 is scheduled for March 4, 2024 at 23:05 (CET). In preparation for the launch, details on the reception of SONATE-2 for radio amateurs have now been published.
