Update on Lunar Mission

As we announced in an earlier post, we have prepared a message (the URL of our parent site, w0is.com) that will be sent from Lunar orbit as part of the LuxSpace Manfred Memorial Moon Mission (4M).

LuxSpace has announced that all messages, including ours, have now been uploaded to the spacecraft and that each uploaded message will be sent from Lunar orbit at least twice. LuxSpace will be conducting a contest during the mission for earthbound participants to receive as many messages as possible.  It is hoped that many of the participants will post their received copy after the contest.

The message will be transmitted from the Moon on 145.98 MHz using JT65B mode. The Lunar orbit is scheduled for October 28. Full technical details are available at LuxSpace’s mission page.
