EQUISat ACTIVE 53552 435.550 4k8 4FSK WL9XZE latest report details YES .

EQUiSat’s primary mission is to serve as an in-orbit validation of accessible and affordable space design to bring space closer to the masses. With novel in-house design techniques, cost-efficient construction, and open source technical documentation, EQUiSat represents the future of low-cost CubeSat design. EQUiSat’s secondary mission is to test lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries that have never been flown in space before. These batteries will power EQUiSat’s high-power LED array, which will serve as a beacon, allowing viewers on the ground to spot the satellite, even from urban areas. The beacon will flash from Low Earth Orbit with an apparent magnitude of 2, approximately the same intensity as Polaris.

Observers will also be able to hear EQUiSat, via an onboard UHF transceiver that will transmit a signal that can be easily tracked by amateur radio operators, universities, and grade schools. Individuals will be able to monitor the satellite’s telemetry, relationship to the sun, and valuable sensor data.
