It's telemetry encoded as AX.25 packet data. I've heard it while listening for PCSat on the same frequency, but I haven't tried to decode the Starshine telemetry. There's software that will use your soundcard to decode the data from the audio. If you have a scanner or a ham radio that can tune in that frequency you could possibly setup your PC to examine the telemetry.
