Tomorrow (11/15/2018 14:46 CST), SpaceX will be launching the Es’hail 2 satellite into geostationary orbit. The satellite’s main mission is to provide digital TV service to Qatar but it also carries two P4A amateur transponders. These should provide an amateur link as wide as Brazil to India!
While this satellite might be difficult to work from the states, it will be the first amateur radio hardware to reach geostationary orbit! It’s certainly a historical event worth sharing and I’ll be watching the launch tomorrow with anticipation!
