CatSat's first "Hello World" message was soon picked up by a ham radio ground station in the Netherlands.

Congratulations to the CatSat Team!

CatSat, the University's first satellite built entirely by students, broke free of its 2nd stage launch vehicle around 11am MST on Monday July 15th. The University of Arizona student team behind this endeavor is now in regular contact with CatSat using the ground station they built at the Arizona Research Building. There are typically two passes over Tucson a day and the team is busy commissioning the satellite during those passes.
