Fitter Messages

What on earth is a Fitter message?

Think Twitter! A Fitter message is a short (200 characters) text like message which can be uploaded to the satellite (via a moderator), and which can be transmitted several times every 5 minutes or so. It will continue to be retransmitted until such time as it is replaced by a new Fitter Message.

So such a message could be something like:

Greeting to xyz school, which will be holding a special Space Day on xyz Date. We hope you receive this message OK and have a FUNtime!

There is space for a total of nine such Fitter Messages.

Please email operations@funcube.org.uk with your request at least two weeks ahead of time,
