Hopefully they do. I was looking forward to trying to receive the data.

Hi Marcus,
Hi Fabien,
darn! Missed the launch! This is exciting news! Please keep us updated! Do you have a GNU
Radio Flowgraph with which interested readers could monitor the satellite? TLEs?
Best regards,
Marcus

Unfortunatly, the rocket encountered a problem and the flight terminaison system had to be activated at about an altitude of 150km.
As a consequence, CASAA-SAT will never transmit. We don't know at the moment if the lab will rebuild it for another launch.
Best regards,
Fabien.
