CHESS will not have an amateur payload<\/h2>\n

Two CHESS CubeSats had been planned to carry amateur radio linear transponders, however, it was announced on June 10, 2021, there will not be any amateur payload on the satellites.<\/p>\n

A translation of the press release reads:<\/p>\n

The CHESS project management, due to funding constraints, had to move the project towards a commercial cubesat platform. Space is scarce on this new platform to accommodate another payload. Subsequently, there is no longer an opportunity to carry a ham radio transponder on board.<\/p>\n

The CHESS project management has correctly decided not to use frequencies in the amateur satellite service and to use earth exploration or experimental UHF- and X- band frequencies.<\/p>\n

The ham community, who assured the funding of the transponder, is very disappointed by this decision, but must accept it.<\/p>\n

Such projects always carry risks of one partner changing its mind. That is what happened here.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to all who have actively supported the transponder project, especially the AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL team.<\/p>\n
