A Moscow Aviation Institute MAI 75 slow scan television, SSTV,
experiment event is planned for Wednesday, September 30, from 1305
UTC to 1845 UTC, and Thursday, October 1, from 1230 UTC to 1745 UTC.
SSTV signals will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz, plus/minus Doppler
shift.  The expected mode will be PD 120, and the call sign will be
RS0ISS.  Received images of reasonable quality may be posted on the
ARISS SSTV Gallery at, //www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ .  CAMSAT says
the CAS 7A launch has been postponed until next May, and CAS 5A
until next June.  Because of COVID 19, many things have been
delayed, CAMSATs Alan Kung, BA1DU, told ARRL. He said an
announcement would be made closer to the announced launches.  CAMSAT
said last spring that CAS 7A would launch in mid September, however
the launch has been postponed multiple times since first announced.
CAS 5A was predicted to launch in October. Both satellites will
carry two transponders that include HF, in a configuration similar
to that of the Russian RS satellites decades ago.  CAS 7A will be
placed into a sun synchronous orbit with an inclination of 98
degrees at 500 kilometers above Earth. The transponders will have a
bandwidth of 30 kHz. According to the IARU amateur satellite
frequency coordination page, the HF/HF linear transponder will
uplink on 15 meters, from 21.245 to 21.275 MHz, and downlink on 10
meters, from 29.435 to 29.465 MHz.  A CW beacon will transmit on
29.425 MHz. The HF/UHF transponder will uplink at 21.3125 to 21.3275
MHz, and downlink at 435.3575 to 435.3725 MHz. A CW beacon for that
transponder will transmit on 435.430 MHz.  The CAS 5A nanosatellite,
with a 6U form factor, carries two HF transponders and two VHF/UHF
transponders. While in orbit, it will deploy the tiny CAS 5B
femtosatellite, which will weigh just 0.5 kilogram.  The array of
CAS 5A linear transponders will include HF/HF, HF/UHF, and VHF/UHF
with 30 kHz passbands, except 15 kHz for the HF/UHF transponder.
CAS 5A will include CW telemetry beacons on HF and UHF. The HF CW
beacon will be at 29.465 MHz, and a UHF telemetry beacon will be at
435.57 MHz. Other beacons include the HF/HF transponder beacon at
29.490 MHz, the HF/UHF transponder beacon at 435.505 MHz, and the
VHF/UHF transponder beacon at 435.540 MHz.  Telemetry will be
transmitted at 435.650 MHz. The V/U linear transponder will uplink
at 145.820 MHz.  The V/U FM transponder will uplink at 145.925 MHz.
Terrestrial stations will access the transponders at 21.385 to
21.415 MHz.
