This will enable live \ninteraction\nbetween pupils and Tim and is anticipated to be one of the highlights of the\nPrincipia STEM outreach program.\n\nDuring his 6 month mission to the ISS, starting in December 2015, Tim \nwill be\nundertaking a wide range of science experiments, some of which have been\ndesigned by students from around the UK. Additionally he has committed \nto take\npart in a large range of educational outreach activities with schools and\ncolleges around the country.\n\nJeremy Curtis, Head of Education at the UK Space Agency, said:\n“Both Tim’s space mission and amateur radio have the power to inspire young\npeople and encourage them into STEM subjects. By bringing them together \nwe can\nboost their reach and give young people around the UK the chance to be \ninvolved\nin a space mission and a hands-on project that will teach them new skills.”\n\nThe pre-arranged schools contacts will take place between January and April\n2016 and students will be able to put a number of questions directly to Tim\nusing amateur radio VHF and UHF radio equipment specially installed at the\nschool for the occasion.\n\nThe 3.8 meter dish owned by Satellite Applications Catapult is being \nloaned to\nthe project to track the ISS and will ensure real time video will be \navailable\nduring the schools’ contacts scheduled for early next year. The dish is \nalmost\nin the shadow of the 29 meter dish “Arthur” built in 1962 to receive the \nfirst\ntransatlantic television signals from the Telstar-1 spacecraft.\n\nFor Tim Peake’s mission, the ARISS team of licensed UK Radio Amateurs is\nplanning a world first by also receiving live video from the ISS during the\ncontact. Using the HamTV transmitter, which has recently been \ncommissioned on\nboard the ISS, Tim will be the first astronaut to use this equipment \nduring a\ntwo way schools contact.\n\nAs well as building a vehicle based receive system, which will be \ninstalled at\nthe school on the day of the contact, the team recently visited \nGoonhilly Earth\nStation in Cornwall to commission a dish to receive the 2.4 GHz HamTV\ntransmissions from the ISS.\n\nDuring the contact at the schools the ARISS team will be providing \ninformation\ndisplays on the ISS position and have webcams showing both the local and\nGoonhilly dishes as they track the ISS.\n\nThe hosting schools will be organizing presentations and displays before and\nafter the contact and the ARISS team will be providing a live web cast \nof all\nthe day’s events including the actual contact with Tim Peake.\n\nThe live event webcast will be hosted by the British Amateur Television Club\n(BATC) on their web streaming service at\nhttps://principia.ariss.org/live/\n\nThe ARISS program is designed to maximize the impact of the Principia\nMission outreach activities. It will directly engage students with media and\ncommunication technologies with the goal of inspiring them to pursue \ncareers in\nScience, Technology, Engineering and Maths.\n\nUK Space Agency Principia site\nhttps://principia.org.uk/\n\nSchool Shortlist for Tim Peake Space Station Contact\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2015/07/14/school-shortlist-tim-peake-iss/\n\nNASA TV to cover launch of Tim Peake KG5BVI\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2015/12/08/nasa-tv-to-cover-launch-of-tim-peake-kg5bvi/\n\n\n[ANS thanks UK Space Agency, ARISS, & AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nNASA TV to cover launch of Tim Peake KG5BVI\n\n\nThe next three crew members bound for the International Space Station \nare set\nto launch on Tuesday, December 15.

One of the \nagenda\nitems is of particular interest to the small-satellite community.\n\nAgenda item 1.7 for WRC-19 reads: “to study the spectrum needs for \ntelemetry,\ntracking and command in the space operation service for non-GSO \nsatellites with\nshort duration missions, to assess the suitability of existing \nallocations to\nthe space operation service and, if necessary, to consider new \nallocations, in\naccordance with Resolution COM6/19 (WRC-15).”\n\nResolution COM6/19, which eventually will be given a new number, \nspecifies the\nfrequency ranges that may be considered for possible new allocations. \nThey are\n150.05-174 MHz and 400.15-420 MHz.\n\nOne of the factors that the conference considered in deciding on these\nparticular frequency ranges was “that some non-amateur satellites have used\nfrequencies for telemetry, tracking and command in the frequency bands \n144-146\nMHz and 435-438 MHz which are allocated to the amateur-satellite \nservice, and\nthat such use is not in accordance with Nos. 1.56 and 1.57.” Those two\nprovisions of the ITU Radio Regulations define the amateur and amateur-\nsatellite services respectively.\n\nThe International Amateur Radio Union welcomed the exclusion from\nconsideration of all existing frequency allocations to the amateur and \namateur-\nsatellite services. IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, observed: “This is an\nexcellent result for the amateur services and clearly shows that non-amateur\nsatellite constructors need to consider spectrum other than the very limited\nand congested segments that are available for amateur satellites at 144 \nMHz and\n435 MHz.”\n\n\n[ANS thanks IARU, ARRL, & AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.

Astronaut \nKjell\nLindgren, KO5MOS was able to answer 17 prepared questions for students.\n\nThe contact was recorded by the school. View it on the school website at:\nhttp://www.skola.umea.se/dragonskolan\n\nDragonskolan is one of the biggest upper secondary schools in Sweden and is\nlocated in central Umeå. Currently hosting 1820 students aged 16-19 and 300\nstaff; it has recently been renovated to meet modern needs in a stimulating\nlearning environment.\nAt Dragonskolan, we have an ethos where we believe we can offer our students\nthree meaningful and enjoyable years. Our core values are “open and bright”,\nreferring not only to the physical surroundings but also to the social \nclimate.\nDragonskolan is the biggest meeting place for young people in Umeå,\nA wide range of 3 year programs, college preparatory and vocational, are\noffered here, ranging from natural science to humanities and technological\nscience.\nAt the core of the school is the Dragonskolan Technology Center where\neverything is taught from industrial welding technology to electronics,\nautomation, computer science, CAD and much more.\nWith its close ties to the industry, the school keeps in pace with the \nlatest\nindustrial technology ensuring the students get the best education available\nwithin their chosen field.\n\n* A direct contact with students at an event titled, “the development of\nGagarin from Space”, was sponsored by the Polytechnic Professional \nCouncils of\nthe City of Grozny, Russia on Sat 2015-12-05 16:25 UTC. The cosmonaut \nfor the\ncontact was Sergey Volkov RU3DIS.\n\n* A telebridge contact via LU1CGB with students at Konstanty Ildefons\nGalczynski Junior High School, Swietajno, Poland, was successful\nTue 2015-12-08 08:19:31 UTC 62 deg. Astronaut Kjell Lindgren KO5MOS \nanswered\n14 questions prepared by students.\n\nAn audio recording may be heard at:\nhttp://www.ariss.org/news.html\n\nKonstanty Ildefons Galczynski Junior High School in Swietajno,\nattended by approximately 170 pupils (aged 13-15), is situated in a\npicturesque Land of a Thousand Lakes in Szczytno County (Warmian-Masurian\nVoivodeship, in the northeastern part of Poland. The school consists of \nseven\nforms and it employs twenty well-qualified teachers. Mazurian Amateur Radio\nClub SP4YWM has been established here and it functions with the number of\nseventeen school members (among which there are three primary school pupils\nand one pre-school girl, all from Swietajno).\n\nIn preparation for the amateur radio contact with the ISS, the students with\nthe guidance of their teachers improved their English, got familiar with the\nlife and work on the ISS. They had a great opportunity to learn everyday\nEnglish in order to ask an astronaut questions during the ISS contact as \nwell\nas the specialized language of science to visit space agencies pages. The\nstudents learned geography with the use of modern technologies and \nphotographed\nthe Earth from the camera on board the ISS (EarthKAM). The school cooperated\nwith the Olsztyn Planetarium to organize an observation. The planetarium\nvisited Swietajno to accompany one of the school events. Consequently, the\nAstronomical Mobile Laboratory called Astrolabium was at the school’s \ndisposal.\nLast year the ARISS participants from Swietajno attended the 4th Polish-Wide\nConference of Contributors and Sympathisers in ARISS held in the central \npart\nof Poland, where they focused on interesting topics concerning the ISS and\nlearned how other Polish schools had prepared for ARISS contacts in the \npast.\n\nThe pupils also performed an experiment in the near space as a part of the\nminiSAT project. They sent peas, bubble wrap and a watch to near space \nto the\naltitude of about 30 000 meters above the Earth. The conditions differ\nsignificantly between near space and the surface of the Earth: the \npressure is\nmuch smaller, UV radiation is higher and the temperature is below zero\ndegrees Celsius. People from all over Poland, including the pupils from\nSwietajno, took part in it. The balloon used in the event was marked “CP26”.\nThe experiment in the near space was possible thanks to ham radio operators\nand other volunteers from a non-governmental organization called Copernicus\nProject Foundation (near Torun, Poland). Their two flagship projects are\nMiniSAT and Near Space Program in Poland and they have organized above 30\nballoon flies to the near space since 2005.\n\nIn March 2013 the school started public relations activities connected with\nthe ham radio contact between an astronaut on the International Space \nStation\nand the students from Konstanty Ildefons Galczynski School. An official\ninauguration of the ARISS program in Swietajno had been prepared. TVP \nOlsztyn,\nRadio Olsztyn and other local mass media were present there and took part in\nan inaugural lecture on ARISS. As a continuation of EarthKAM program an\nexhibition of the photographs taken by the students was organized during the\ninauguration. Before that, Swietajno primary school pupils (between the ages\nof 5 and 12) had been invited to participate in the preparations to the \nARISS\ncontact. As a result, some of them are going to ask the astronaut their\nquestions, together with their older friends from the junior high school.\n\n\nUpcoming Contacts\n\n>From 2015-12-20 to 2016-01-04, there will be no US Operational Segment \n(USOS)\nhams on board ISS. So any schools contacts during this period will be\nconducted by the ARISS Russia team.\n\nWatch\nhttp://www.ariss.org/upcoming-contacts.html\nfor information about upcoming contacts as they are scheduled.\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS, and Charlie, AJ9N for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\n\n* SpaceX to launch rocket Dec 19, six months after blast\n\nSpaceX on Thursday announced plans to launch its Falcon 9 on December \n19, its\nfirst mission since a massive explosion after liftoff destroyed the \nrocket and\nits space station cargo six months ago.\nSpaceX CEO Elon Musk wrote on Twitter that the company is preparing for a\nstatic fire -- an engine test on the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space \nCenter\nin Cape Canaveral, Florida -- on December 16, followed by \"launch about \nthree\ndays later.\"\nThe Falcon rocket will carry 11 satellites for the US company Orbcomm \ninto low-\nEarth orbit, a company spokesman said.\nThe spokesman did not say when SpaceX planned to begin sending cargo to the\nInternational Space Station again.\nSpaceX's only competitor in the commercial resupply industry is Orbital ATK,\nwhich also suffered a major setback when its Antares rocket exploded after\nlaunching from Wallops Island, Virginia in October 2014.\n\nOrbital ATK launched on Sunday its unmanned Cygnus cargo ship to the \nISS, this\ntime aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket while it upgrades the\nAntares, which previously used a reconditioned Ukrainian rocket engine.\n\nThe Falcon 9 exploded on June 28, just over two minutes after launching from\nCape Canaveral with its Dragon cargo ship loaded with supplies for the\nastronauts living in space.\nMusk said the blast was due to a faulty strut.\nThe accident was a blow to the California-based company, which was the first\ncommercial outfit to send a cargo craft to space under a $1.6 billion \ncontract\nwith NASA.\nThe Falcon 9 rocket that is scheduled to fly December 19 is a new \nversion that\nis 30 percent more powerful and designed to improve the controlled \nlanding of\nthe rocket's first stage, a mission that SpaceX has been attempting to \nrefine\nin the hope of one day making rockets as reusable as airplanes.\nSpaceX has tried multiple times to land its rocket upright on a floating\nplatform in the Atlantic Ocean, without success.\nFor this next launch, SpaceX said it plans to attempt a touchdown on \nland for\nthe first time.\n\nAmazon founder Jeff Bezos, an Internet entrepreneur who like Musk also \nowns a\nrocket company, announced on November 24 that he had successfully landed his\nNew Shepard rocket after a suborbital flight.\nWhile Bezos touted the achievement, Musk and other experts pointed out \nthat it\nwould have been much easier to control the landing of a rocket that \nflies lower\nin altitude than the first stage of the Falcon 9.\nOnce rockets do become reusable, analysts say the practice will save \nmillions\nof dollars in equipment and launch costs.\n\nsee\nhttp://www.spacedaily.com/reports/SpaceX_to_launch_rocket_Dec_19_six_months_\nafter_blast_999.html\n\n[ANS thanks SpaceDaily.com for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n/EX\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club.
