El passat 3 de juliol es va enlairar i posar en òrbita de del centre de llançaments xinès de Taiyuan, el satèl·lit BY70-2. Aquest satèl·lit substitueix el seu successor, BY70-1, un cubesat 2U que degut a un problema en el llançament va quedar en una òrbita el·líptica amb perigeu molt baix i es va cremar en la reentrada el febrer de 2017.

El BY70-2 és un cubesat 2U amb propòsit educacional posicionat en una òrbita a 500 Km d’alçada. Du una càmera miniatura per a captar imatges del planeta. També un transponedor amb entrada en FM a 145.920 MHz subto 67Hz  i sortida en mode digital Codec 2 per 436.200 MHz. Funciona de manera similar a d’altres ginys com  LO-90  o el Taurus-1.

Codec 2 és un mode de veu digital de codi obert. Està dissenyat per bitrate entre 700 y 3200 bps. Està implementat per exemple en el software FreeDV àmpliament usat en HF  SSB. El software sol acumular uns quants paquets abans de ser descodificats el que implica un retard d’uns 200 mSec. EA4GPZ, Daniel Estévez, va implementar una versió sense retard.
