The call sign AM5SAT corresponds to the EASAT-2 satellite of AMSAT-EA.
EASAT-2, is a pocketQue 1.5P format satellite designed and built jointly by AMSAT-EA and students from the European University in Madrid (Degrees in Aerospace Engineering in Aircraft and Telecommunication Systems Engineering), with contributions from ICAI University in the part of communications.
Its main function is to act as an FM voice repeater and an FSK digital data transponder. It also features a CW beacon and a recorded voice from AMSAT EA Treasurer Joanna Bury with the callsign AM5SAT. As an experimental load it carries a basaltic material from Lanzarote, similar to lunar basalts, provided by the research group on meteorites and planetary geosciences of the CSIC at the Institute of Geosciences, IGEO (CSIC-UCM) and that could be used as construction material in Moon. This project was promoted and has the collaboration of the ETSICCP (UPM).
Downlink frequency: 436.666 MHz FM / FSK / CW
