On 15 November 2018 Es'hail-2/P4A was launched with a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle from
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 in Florida.
Es'hail-2/P4A was jointly developed by QARS (Qatar Amateur Radio Society) and Es'hailSat (The Qatar Satellite Company),
under the technical leadership of AMSAT-DL, and is the first geostationary amateur radio payload.
The satellite reached its final position at 25.9°E and the narrowband and broadband transponders were successfully tested on 23 December 2018 and 16-17 January 2019. The transponders are expected to open for general use in February 2019.
At the request of AMSAT Deutschland e.V., QARS and Es'hailSat, AMSAT hereby designates Es'hail-2/P4A as Qatar-OSCAR 100 (QO-100).
May the 100th OSCAR satellite be the lead star for future amateur radio satellites and payloads in geostationary orbit and beyond.
