一个新的微型业余通信卫星amsat-echo昨天发射成功，发射地点是哈萨克斯坦的发射基地。
echo contact established
first contact with echo was at 1452 utc on 29 june 2004. after collecting a bit of tlm the 435.150 mhz transmitter was turned off at 1500 utc. the preliminary keps were observed to be pretty close. the first look at echo's telemetry shows things are looking good. the battery was fully charged and the panels were delivering about 950 ma, which is fine. the panels were supporting the transmitter power adequately at about 2.3w output. the bird appears to be tumbling as expected. internal temperatures are around 10c which is also as expected.
在2004年6月29日，utc1452，地面控制人员第一次和amsat-echo建立了联络。地面人员在439.150mhz频率上收集了一些遥测数据后，卫星的发射机在utc1500就被关闭。
卫星当前的轨道参数正常。根据第一次收集到遥测数据看到，卫星的状况良好。电池处于充满的状态，太阳能电池板提供了950ma的电流，一切很好。太阳能电池板现在能够支持发射及输出大约2.3w的输出功率。卫星按照预期的状态自转。内部温度是预期的10摄氏度。
