| A CZ-2D rocket launch |
Ecuador is hoping to have two CubeSats in orbit this year.
Their first CubeSat NEE-01 Pegasus
will carry a 720p HD camera to send live video from space using a 3
watt TV transmitter in the 915 MHz (33cm) band along with a beacon that
will send a Morse Code ID, a SSTV image and Ecuador’s national anthem.
It was originally planned to launch on a Dnepr from Yansy but is now
expected to fly on a CZ-2D rocket from the Jiuquan Space Center in the 2nd quarter of 2013.
Ecuadors second CubeSat NEE-02 Krysaor
carries the same payloads in the 915 MHz band as NEE-1 Pegasus but has a
slightly different solar panel configuration. As yet websites such as Gunter Space Page give no indication on which rocket NEE-02 Krysaor will fly.
