SpaceX will launch in December this year 2020 the EASAT-2 and Hades satellites that AMSAT-EA, the URE satellite group, is building together with the European University, in a launch that has been managed through the Scottish space broker Alba Orbital.

EASAT-2 and Hades will be launched into a sol-synchronous orbit between 500 km and 600 km and their main function is to act as analog and digital repeaters for radio amateurs, also carrying a camera for the transmission of images on SSTV provided by the Republic Czech and that it has already flown on the satellite of the United States Marine Academy PSAT-2, having been adapted to the smallest space available.

Both satellites are based on the pocketQube 1.5P (7.5 x 5 x 5 cm) architecture and represent an evolution of the previous GENESIS platform, whose GENESIS-L and GENESIS-N satellites are expected to fly before the end of the year with Firefly, in a joint collaboration with Fossa Systems and LibreSpace, which also launch their own satellites, all of them within the Picobus dispenser, developed by the latter.

Transmissions to Hades and EASAT-2 will be in the VHF band and reception of their signals in UHF.
