NanoSail-D, carrying an Amateur Radio beacon on 437.305 MHz, is planned to launch November 20 on a Minotaur-4 HAPS rocket.
NanoSail-D will be in a low earth orbit at 9 degrees inclination. It will carry a 437.305 MHz 1200 bps AX25 beacon with one 1/2 second burst every 5 seconds.
The orbit will be elliptical, 685 km apogee and 340 km perigee, degrading to 200 km at which time it will de-orbit.
