FCD (FUNcube Dongle) に関連して、FUNcubeSat 衛星そのものの打ち上げがいつ
なのかを問い合わせてみました。今年(2011年)後半には打ち上げを目指している
が、その機会がなかなか見つからないということです。逆に、その打ち上げ機会
があればコンタクトをとってほしいと頼まれました。

Hi Mineo,

Thanks for your email, and I'm glad you are fining the FUNcube dongle OK.

We are hoping to have the satellite completed later this year, and we are
currently looking for a suitable launch opportunity, but they seem a bit few
and far between at the moment. If you know of any opportunities, please get
in contact!
