Request to Reconsider Decommissioning of IO-117 Under Evaluation by Italian
Space Agency

Moments ago, the AMSAT News Service received the following announcement
from AMSAT Italia regarding IO-117 (GreenCube):

*AMSAT Italia would like to inform the amateur community that its request
to the Italian Space Agency, the owner of the GREENCUBE satellite, to
reconsider its decision of decommissioning the satellite is under
evaluation.*

*Waiting for its decision, IO-117 is still operational.*

*The GreenCube satellite was born as a scientific experiment placed in MEO
orbit which successfully concluded its mission.*

*IO-117 is the HAM Radio part of the satellite consisting of a digipeter
which was promoted by AMSAT Italia and coordinated by IARU-R1.*

*At the moment AMSAT Italia is committed to promoting the continuation of
the mission for the HAM Radio part of Greencube.*
