Subject: Vega rocket to launch amateur radio satellites Tue Dec 13, 2011 3:06 am
The inaugural launch of the ESA Vega rocket will carry the amateur radio microsatellite ALMASat-1 and at least six CubeSats.
The satellites will be launched from the ESA spaceport at Kourou in the Caribbean into an elliptical orbit of 1450 by 354 km at an inclination of 69.5 degrees. They are expected to have a lifetime before re-entry of 4 years.
