HuskySat-1 Designated HuskySat-OSCAR 107 (HO-107)
On
November 2, 2019, the HuskySat-1 cubesat launched on the Cygnus NG-
12
mission from Wallops Island, Virginia, USA. The satellite was con-
structed
by the Husky Satellite Lab at the University of Washington,
and utilizes an
AMSAT-constructed radio system for primary communica-
tions. Deployed from
the Cygnus vehicle on January 31, 2020 after de-
parting the ISS, HuskySat-1
began a 3-month educational mission. Upon
completion of that mission, the
satellite began operation of a V/u
linear transponder in amateur
service.
At the request of the Husky Satellite Lab and AMSAT teams, AMSAT
here-
by designates HuskySat-1 as HuskySat-OSCAR 107 (HO-107). We
congratu-
late the Husky Satellite Lab, thank them for their contribution to
the
amateur satellite community, and wish them continued success on
this
and future projects.
