First images were received this week from the SONATE 2 satellite. A
low-resolution Slow-Scan TV (SSTV) image that had been pre-loaded onto the
satellite prior to launch was received on March 8. The first wide field of
view earth image from the onboard camera was received on March 11. Both
images can be viewed at

[*12.03.2024 First wide field of view image from SONATE-2*]
SONATE 2 was built by students and faculty in the Aerospace Information
Technology program at at Würzburg University in Germany. It was launched on
March 4 as part of the SpaceX Transporter 10 mission from Space Launch
Complex 4E in Vandenberg SFB, Calif.
Using Doppler measurements, Nico Janssen, PAØDLO, has identified SONATE 2
as object 59112. The telemetry downlink frequency is 437.0254 MHz, just
slightly above the published target frequency of 437.025 MHz. Telemetry is
in 9k6 G3RUH GMSK AX.25 using a protocol that may be downloaded from
https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/fileadmin/1003-ifex/2024/SONATE-2_pr...
The SSTV downlink is at 145.880 MHz FM using the Martin M1 protocol. The
satellite also carries an APRS digipeater for 145.825 MHz, but the
digipeater is not yet active. A schedule for upcoming SSTV transmissions is
published at

[ANS thanks Würzburg University and Nico Janssen, PAØDLO, for the above
information
