Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio

There are at least nineteen Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio (OSCAR). These artificial communication satellites have been launched by individuals. 

During the visibility periods, the communications with the spacecraft will be carried out by means of a dual radio link in the VHF 400 MHz band, with a raw transfer rate of 9600 bit/s. For the rest of the orbit, the satellite will maintain a periodic downlink stream in an amateur band also in the range of the 400 MHz.
