Hello

There is little more than 6 weeks left in which to complete the outstanding
commissioning activities on Sumbandila before operations are planned to be
handed over in middle-March to the Satellite Application Center, who will
then continue to operate the satellite on behalf of the Department of Science
and Technology (DST) - owner of the satellite.

Since our progress is currently hampered by the various SA-AMSAT payload
activities, we have unfortunately no choice but to temporarily suspend this
service on SO-67.  We plan to have it "on air" again end-March / beginning
Apr this year.

We have so far successfully executed more than 320 payload activations since
we started using the SA-AMSAT payload in Q4 2009.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Best regards

Jan-Albert

Dear Sumbandial Team

We here in India had a couple of good days of activities on the limited
passes over India.  We understand the necessity of suspending activities so
that the other commissioning activies can be completed.

We wish the team all success and thanks for providing us with a satellite
with gud signals and coverage.  We eagerly await the full activation  at the
earlies.

Best Regards
Madhukar - VU2MUD
Regional Co-ordinator - VU

Hi

SO67 operations are not suspended. The satellite is still undergoing its commissioning phase so amateur operation is made available when there is a gap in the commissioning programme

Please read my email carefully:  the scheduled SA-AMSAT payload operations
are indeed suspended in totality, until we have completed the commissioning
of the satellite (expected to be end-March / beginning Apr).
