Hi All,
Is it linear polarized, if so which?
If not, then which circular polarisation?

I don't know, but this, from the Nansat-D mission dashboard, is not very
hopeful:
"
STATUS: NanoSail-D ejected on 1/17/11 at approximately 1900 PST. Beacon
data was routinely received by the public throughout the world from
1/19-21/11, and telemetry indicates that the sail deployed on schedule.
As of early morning PST on 1/21/11, no beacon packets are being
received. This combined with a plunging battery voltage may mean that
NanoSail-D is effectively out of power. The ops team and amateur radio
operators around the world are still making attempts to make contact
with the spacecraft.
We will be tracking the de-orbiting of NanoSail-D over the next few
months, and we will post any available visual photographs of the
satellite, which are being collected by the mission team at NASA
Marshall Space Flight Center."
