JO-97 is Jordan’s first satellite, under the Masar Initiative at the Jordan University of Science and Technology under the Crown Prince Foundation. Support has been provided by ISIS – Innovative Solutions In Space, AMSAT-UK, AMSAT Netherlands, and the Royal Jordanian Radio Amateurs Society. It is named in memory of His Majesty the late King Hussein whose call sign was JY1.
JO-97 functions in a similar manner to AO-73, with the addition of the ability to broadcast stored Slow Scan Digital Video (SSDV) images of Jordanian life and culture and a recorded audio message by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II. The images will are not standard Slow Scan TV. Both the images and audio message are decoded by Dashboard software.
