frequencies and carrying the University of Iowa HERCI (High Energy

payload. Fox-1D will provide additional selectable U/V or L/V repeater
capabilities once in orbit, and will be capable of downlinking Earth
images from the Virginia Tech camera experiment.Launch is currently planned for the first quarter of 2016. Additional donor support is needed to offset the costs associated with the launch of Fox-1D in addition to Fox-1C. Please visit http://www.amsat.org/ to donate support this launch, and help keep amateur radio in space.
Fox-1C has been renamed Fox-1Cliff in honor of Cliff Buttschardt, K7RR, who was a benefactor and long time supporter
for AMSAT as well as an adviser/mentor for students building CubeSats at Cal Poly.
