Developed by ORION\nSpace, AMSAT-Nepal, and AMSAT-EA, the satellite carries a radiation sensor\npayload and provides a store and forward capability. \n\nAt the request of AMSAT-Nepal, AMSAT hereby designates SanoSat-1 as\nNepal-OSCAR 116 (NO-116). We congratulate AMSAT-Nepal and their partners,\nthank them for their contribution to the amateur satellite community, and\nwish them continued success on this and future projects.\n\n[ANS thanks Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, AMSAT VP Operations/OSCAR Number\nAdministrator, for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n            The 2022 AMSAT President's Club coins have arrived! \n\t\t  To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its launch on \n\t\t\t\tOctober 15, 1972, this year's coin features \n\t\t\t\t\t\tan image of AMSAT-OSCAR 6. \n\t\t  Join the AMSAT President's Club today and help \n\t\t\t\t\t\tKeep Amateur Radio in Space!\n\n\t\t  https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club/\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nThe First Rocket from Mars.\n\nTwo weeks ago, Lockheed Martin won a $194M contract to build the Mars Ascent\nVehicle (MAV) for the upcoming joint NASA-ESA Mars sample return campaign.\nThe cost-plus contract covers the development and manufacture of 10 test and\nflight-ready MAVs over the next six years culminating in what will likely\nbe, barring other unforeseen entrants, the first rocket launched on another\nplanet (as opposed to a moon, comet, or asteroid). Lockheed will be\nsupported by Northrop Grumman, who will build the MAV’s solid propulsion\nmotors—updated STAR 15 & 20 solid rocket motors, originally developed in the\nearly 70s, which will need to survive a multi-year cold soak along with\ntheir propellant. To keep propellant grains above -40° C, the 2.8-meter long\nMAV will be housed in “the igloo,” an insulated dome blanketed with CO2,\nwhich will be heated by solar-powered electric heaters in 16\nseparately-instrumented heating zones. Additional information and graphics\nmay be found at:\nhttps://bit.ly/3aA7V1G\n All this is scheduled to kick off with the lander/rover/MAV combo launching\nNET 2026. Sample retrieval and launch to Martian orbit could take around 13\nmonths after arrival, but samples won’t actually make it back to Earth until\nsometime in the first half of the 30s.\n\n[ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n     Need new satellite antennas?

When you purchase through\n           AMSAT, a portion of the proceeds goes towards\n                  Keeping Amateur Radio in Space.\n           https://amsat.org/product-category/hardware/\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nTiny probes could sail to outer planets with the help of low-power lasers\n\nIn this illustration, https://bit.ly/3hjGtsm, a low-power laser (red cone)\non Earth could be used to shift the orbit (red lines) of a small probe (grey\ncircle), or propel it at rapid speeds to Neptune and beyond.\nSpace travel can be agonizingly slow: For example, the New Horizons probe\ntook almost 10 years to reach Pluto. Traveling to Proxima Centauri b, the\nclosest habitable planet to Earth, would require thousands of years with\neven the biggest rockets.\nNow, researchers calculate in ACS' Nano Letters that low-power lasers on\nEarth could launch and maneuver small probes equipped with silicon or boron\nnitride sails, propelling them to much faster speeds than rocket engines.\nInstead of catching wind, like the sails on boats, \"laser sails\" would catch\nlaser beams and could, in principle, push spacecraft to nearly the speed of\nlight. Scientists have been working on this concept for a while. For\nexample, one privately funded project called the Breakthrough Starshot\ninitiative aims to send a small, sailed probe weighing about a gram to\nProxima Centauri b with a flight taking only 20 years.\nIt would be propelled to 20% of light speed by a 100 GW, kilometer-square\nlaser array. Ho-Ting Tung and Artur Davoyan wondered if much lower-power,\nsmaller laser arrays could find use in applications where conventional\nelectric and chemical rockets are now used.

Alabama river rocks currently pave the path for rockets on\nthe crawlerway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This 4.2 mile road\nof rocks is crucial for launching NASA’s missions, specifically the upcoming\nlaunch of Artemis I, the uncrewed test flight of NASA’s Space Launch System\n(SLS) and Orion Spacecraft. A massive pair of machines called\ncrawler-transporters have carried integrated rockets and spacecraft to Pads\n39A and 39B for more than 50 years at Kennedy. Their initial design called\nfor asphalt roads, but engineers quickly encountered issues. Asphalt\ncouldn’t handle the weight of the 6.65-million-pound crawler on its own,\nmuch less with the weight of a rocket added to it. The asphalt also proved\ntoo sticky and therefore would not allow the crawler-transporter to turn\nproperly, causing damage to its roller bearings. NASA conducted a study to\nfind a material that would allow the crawler to make a proper turn and hold\nthe weight required. The results: river rock.
