About AO-95
AO-95 (Fox-1Cliff) is a 1U CubeSat built by AMSAT and launched on 3 December 2018 on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg as part of the SSO-A mission. It was meant to be a U/v FM repeater like AO-85 and AO-91, with an L-band uplink as well.
During commissioning in December 2018 its receiver was found not to work, so the repeater never entered service, although the downlink and telemetry were healthy. Its 145.920 MHz transmitter was heard for years after launch, but AO-95 cannot be worked.
