The Japanese HORYU-2 research satellite was launched May 17 at 1639
UTC as part of a mission that included the JAXA climate observation
satellite Shizuku.
HORYU-2 was built by students at the Kyushu Institute of Technology
(KIT) and it carries the call sign JG6YBW. The satellite will
conduct a variety of experiments including high-voltage power
generation and space debris measurements.
Amateurs have been asked to monitor HORYU-2's Morse code and
1200-baud AX.25 packet telemetry at 437.375 MHz. Telemetry decoding
software is available for downloading from KIT and hams are
encouraged to submit reports. Details can be found at,

Kyushu Institute of Technology (九州工業大学 Kyūshū Kōgyō Daigaku ) is one of the 87 national universities in Japan. Located in Fukuoka Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, it is dedicated to education and research in the fields of science and technology. It is often abbreviated to KIT and sometimes to Kyutech.
The founder was Matsumoto Kenjiro, second son of Yasukawa Keiichiro, and the links with the Yaskawa Electric Corporation (founded in 1915) remain strong to this day. The centenary of the opening of the Tobata campus is being celebrated in 2009, with Founder's Day on May 28, 2009.
The most famous alumnus is "Mr. Tornado", the severe storms researcher Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita. He graduated in 1943 and was an associate professor until 1953 when he was invited to the University of Chicago. /Wikipedia
