The Express message\nbelow was sent to 18,516 EXPRESS subscribers and to 1,285,892 NASA\nTwitter account subscribers. Using social media services to expand\nthe range for NASA education messages has increased the total audi-\nence to approximately 1,304,408 people. (Yes, that's 1.3 million\npeople).\n\n[NASA EXPRESS Message follows]\n\nARISSat-1 Satellite Launched\n\nA satellite with amateur radio capabilities and a student-designed\nexperiment was released into orbit around Earth on Aug. 3, 2011,\nduring a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. The sat-\nellite is transmitting signals containing information that students\naround the world can access.\n\nARISSat-1, which stands for Amateur Radio on the International Space\nStation Satellite-1, contains a student-designed experiment and other\nequipment that students can use to learn more about space and space\nexploration. The rectangular spacecraft is covered by six solar panels\nthat will charge the batteries in the satellite for about six months\nas it orbits Earth. Spoken telemetry values, with data such as temp-\nerature and battery life, are intended to promote science and mathem-\natics education by encouraging school children to listen to the satel-\nlite, track its progress and plot the changes.\n\nThe project website provides free downloadable software that can be\nused to decode the data. In addition to data, the satellite will trans-\nmit 24 pre-recorded greetings in 15 different languages -- French,\nSpanish, German, English and Chinese, to name a few.\n\nCheck out the ARISSat-1 website at http://arissat1.org/ for information\non data transmissions, contests and student activities.\n\nQuestions about ARISSat-1 should be directed to [email protected].\n\nNASA Education listserv: http://www.nasa.gov/education/express\nNASA Twitter: http://twitter.com/nasa\nNASA Blogs: http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/newui/blog/blogs.jsp\nNASA Education Express Blog:\n             http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/blog/educationexpress\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW for forwarding this\n  news to the AMSAT News Service]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-219.03\nARISSat-1/KEDR Deployed on August 3 - Signals Received\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 219.03\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nAugust 7, 2011\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-219.03\n\nARISSat-1/KEDR was deployed from the ISS during EVA-29 on Wednesday,\nAugust 3 by Cosmonaut/Flight Engineers Sergei Volkov and Alexander\nSamokutyaev. First reported signals were received by JR8LWY with\ncopy of the telemetry beacon as the satellite passed over Japan.\n\nFull operational capability of ARISSat-1/KEDR was quickly confirmed\nafter initial concern of a missing or damaged 70cm receiver antenna\non the satellite.\n\n145.950 MHz FM Downlink - OPERATIONAL\n-------------------------------------\nFM transmissions will cycle between a voice ID as RS01S, select tele-\nmetry values, 24 international greeting messages in 15 languages and\nSSTV images.

It has a composite\nVHF downlink that will easily fit into the FUNcube Dongle (FCD) re-\nceive spectrum. The 145.920 MHz telemetry is 1000 bps BPSK and can,\nof course, also be received with a normal SSB 2 metre receiver.\n\nThe signal levels from ARISSat-1 should be similar to those we expect\nfrom the AMSAT-UK FUNcube-1 satellite (and also eventually from UKube-1)\nand the AMSAT-UK team are keen to discover what will be the minimum and\nbest type of antennas for schools to use with a FUNcube Dongle (FCD)\nSoftware Defined Radio (SDR). Therefore user experience with the\nARISSat-1 signals will be very valuable in making this determination.\n\nTo encourage everyone to receive the 145.920 MHz BPSK ARISSat-1 tele-\nmetry signal AMSAT-UK are offering a FUN reward for listeners!\n\nThere are a number of categories for this challenge -they include:\n\n+ The first FCD user, from each continent, who can post a spectrum\n   recording of the received signal together with evidence of decoding\n   the data using the ARISSatTLM software and of sending it to the\n   ARISSat data warehouse.\n\n+ The first non-FCD user, from each continent, who can provide evidence\n   of having decoded the signals and of sending it to the ARISSat data\n   warehouse.\n\n+ The listener, using a FCD or not, who can demonstrate satisfactory\n   reception of the telemetry in the same ways as described above, using\n   the \"smallest\" possible receive antenna. The actual closing date for\n   this part of the challenge will be announced later.\n\n+ All other entrants who can demonstrate that they have been having FUN!\n\nPlease submit your \"entries\", including your location, station details\n(including FCD serial number where applicable), postal address and\nreports to: [email protected]\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK and Trevor, M5AKA for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-219.06\nAMSAT History: 40th Anniversary of First Synchronous Satellite Proposal\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 219.06\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nAugust 7, 2011\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-219.06\n\nJuly 24 marked the 40th anniversary of AMSAT's original SYNCART proposal\nto NASA, in 1971, to fly a Synchronous Amateur Radio Transponder on NASA's\nApplications Technology Satellite ATS-G. NASA's response to our proposal\nappeared to be favorable, but unfortunately NASA cancelled the ATS-G\nmission.\n\nThe SYNCART proposal is on AMSAT-DL's web site at for those who would\nlike to read it. It gives the justification why NASA should fly it for\nfree, listing a number of amateur experiments and applications, most of\nwhich would still apply today.\n\nThe 1971 WARC on Space Technology was held around the same time\n(June 7 - July 17, 1971, in Geneva). That's the ITU conference that\nestablished the amateur-satellite service and allocated frequencies to it.\n\nSeveral satellite manufacturers are now advertising that they host pay-\nloads aboard their satellite platforms. Think how it would transform\namateur radio if we could get SYNCART packages aboard one or more of\nthem!\n\nRead a copy of the original proposal at:\nhttp://www.amsat-dl.org/images/stories/satellites/syncart/sync.pdf\n\nAMSAT-DL article (in German) at:\nhttp://www.amsat-dl.org/index.php/news-mainmenu-97/185-syncart\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT Past President Perry Klein, W3PK for this information]\n\n/EX\n\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-219.07\nARISS Status - 1 August 2011\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 219.07\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nAugust 7, 2011\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-219.07\n\n1. Successful ARISS Contact with United Space School\n\nOn Saturday, July 30 a successful Amateur Radio on the International Space\nStation (ARISS) contact was held between students at United Space School in\nSeabrook, Texas and Mike Fossum, KF5AQG on the ISS. Station W6SRJ in California\nprovided the connection. The United Space School is a once a year session of\nhigh school students that meets in the NASA/Clear Lake \nArea.  Students come from\naround the world for a two week session, during which they stay with local host\nfamilies while being mentored by astronauts, engineers, and \nscientists to design\na mission to Mars as their team project.  Class sessions are held at the\nUniversity of Houston at Clear Lake.  Students are given lessons on amateur\nradio and through the ARISS contact they learn firsthand what spaceflight is\nlike.  They will use this knowledge in their team project, which they will\npresent to the Houston space community at the end of their session.\n\n\n2. Astronaut Training Status\n\nMike Hopkins, KF5LJG is scheduled for an ARISS Basic Ops class on Monday,\nAugust 1.  Hopkins is slated to fly with Expedition 37 in September 2013.\n\n\n3. EE Times Runs ARISSat Blog\n\nEE (Electronic Engineering) Times is running a blog called \"Chips in \nSpace - The\nBuilding of an Amateur Satellite\" that will run over the next few weeks\ndescribing how the amateur radio satellite, ARISSat-1 was designed and built.\nThe first entry has been posted:\nhttp://www.eetimes.com/electronics-blogs/chips-in-space/4218140/The-Building-of-\nan-Amateur-Satellite-1\n\n[ANS thanks Carol, KB3LKI, for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the President's\nClub.
