When the deploy switch has been working for\nabout 30 minutes the VHF/UHF antennas are deployed with heat from the\nnichrome wire. https://www.facebook.com/knacksat/videos/818456401588168/\n\nThis creates a need for high-voltage electricity which may be the reason\nthat Knacksat satellite batteries had lower power than normal. If this were\nthe case Knacksat satellites would then enter \"Save Mode\", or a sleep\nstate, in order to charge the battery and to await orders from the HS0AK\nGround Station.\n\nWe are confident that the Knacksat satellite is still in a state of sleep.\nThe Knacksat team expects that it may take up to many months to charge the\nbattery to get to the original energy level. Hence, I would like to ask\namateur radio operators in the AMSAT group to help the Knacksat team as\nwell.\n\nThe Knacksat team needs urgent help in receiving reports of the CW beacon\nsignal on the frequency of 435.635 MHz because the Knacksat satellite will\nsend the CW Beacon signal when the solar cell panel receives enough\nsunlight to charge the battery. Hence, there may be a signal from the CW\nbeacon with the power of just 10 - 100 mW from the Knacksat satellite at\nany time.\n\nThe Knacksat team has prepared rewards for anyone who sends them details\nwith a signal report received from the Knacksat satellite including QSL\ncards, and Knacksat shirts, etc. Anyone who copies the satellite should\nplease send an email to [email protected] or enter a report at this\nwebsite: https://knacksat-26d23.firebaseapp.com. Details can be found at\nhttp://www.knacksat.space/\n\nSince the satellite was launched about one month ago only two persons have\nreceived signals of the CW beacon and the signal has been very weak such\nthat the CW could not be fully copied while the telemetry could not be\nfully decoded. Therefore, we would like to make an urgent request for\namateur radio operators to study the information below and to please get in\ntouch by email with [email protected] to help the Knacksat team.\n\n1. The need is for an amateur radio station with an antenna with the EME\nlevel of gain to help. The UHF frequency at 435.635 MHz requires an antenna\nwith a very high gain to receive the very weak CW beacon signal.\n\n2. The need is also for an amateur radio station equipped at the EME level\nwith a high-gain VHF antenna to try to send the sound (MP3) for command\nchange mode uplink VHF frequency. that will wake up the Knacksat satellite\nfrom being in Save mode.\n\nTherefore, if any AMSAT member knows of anyone or can help or who can\nco-ordinate efforts to contact or is capable of receiving signals from the\nKnacksat satellite, could they please get in contact with the Knacksat team\nas quickly as possible.\n\nThank you in advance for helping the satellites of Thailand. In the near\nfuture and not later than the second quarter of 2019 (Q2) the JAISAT-1\n(“Joint Academy for Intelligent Satellites for Amateur Radio of Thailand.”)\nsatellite will be launched into space and we will keep you informed of\nprogress with further news.\n\nWith respect\n\nTanan Rungseeprom, HS1JAN\n JAISAT 1 Satellite Project Manager\n", "attachments": [] }
