    Vega VV16 launch

    Christophe Mercier reports three satellites with amateur radio payloads
    will be on the Vega VV16 launch expected to take place in the early hours
    of September 2.

    On the AMSAT Bulletin Board he writes:

    The Vega rocket (VV16) is scheduled to leave Kourou on 02 September 2020 at 3h36 CEST with 53 satellites on board.

    One of the satellites that will be leaving is the Amicalsat satellite built
    by the CSUG (Centre Spatial Universitaire Grenoblois). The measurements
    made by the satellite will be available to all. They will allow radio
    amateurs to use them for propagation predictions.

    The projects website (in English) has just been put online http://amicalsat.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/

    The Amsat-Francophone supported this project
    http://site.amsat-f.org/amicalsat/

    A software (Linux & Windows) is provided for decoding the telemetry and
    sending it to the database (SatNogs). The user manual is available (in
    English) https://code.electrolab.fr/xtof/josast/-/blob/master/ApplicationAmicalsat/src/site/markdown/UserManual.md
