Coleman previous-\nly served as a member of the Board of Directors from 2017-2019 and\nalso served as AMSAT's Secretary during this time. He has also volun-\nteered in several other capacities for AMSAT, including chairing the\n2016 AMSAT Space Symposium held aboard the cruise ship Carnival\nLiberty.\n\nColeman’s first introduction to amateur radio in space was with SAREX\nand Mir. An interest in setting up an AX.25 BBS and nodes led to him\ntrying out the Mir Personal Message System (PMS) and digipeater to\nmake contacts in the early 1990s. It wasn’t until a visit from a\nfriend in 2011 that Coleman was bitten by the OSCAR bug and began his\nAMSAT journey chasing operating awards.\n\nHaving held other leadership roles in his community, nonprofits, and\ncritical infrastructure, Coleman’s desire is working with constituents\nto improve organizational processes and align them with strategic\ngoals. Professionally, Coleman works in the industrial process con-\ntrol sector as both a consultant and business development manager. He\nresides in the North Texas area with his spouse and two children.\n\n[ANS thanks the AMSAT Board of Directors and AMSAT President Clayton\nColeman, W5PFG for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nPhoenix CubeSat Upcoming Deployment\n\nSeveral CubeSats are scheduled to be deployed from the ISS into orbit\non 12 Feb. Among them is the Phoenix CubeSat, which is a 3U CubeSat\ndeveloped by Arizona State University to study the effects of Urban\nHeat Islands through infrared remote sensing. Following deployment,\nthe Phoenix operations team would appreciate as much help as possible\nwith identifying the spacecraft and verifying that it is operational.\n\nPhoenix is scheduled for a deployment time of *8:30 UTC* on 12 Feb.\n\nPlease note that two CubeSats being deployed on this date operate on\nthe same frequency. Both Phoenix and QARMAN share the frequency of\n*437.35 MHz*, and both utilize an AX.25 9600 baud protocol with GMSK\nmodulation. Both CubeSats will also be deployed within 1.5 hours of\neach other, and will therefore be close to each other in orbit. Please\nbe mindful of this situation, and if you have any doubt about the Cube-\nSat that you are receiving, please get in touch with Sarah Rogers,\nProject Manager, Phoenix CubeSat, sroger13 [at} asu.edu with any ques-\ntions or concerns.\n\nTo read more about the Phoenix CubeSat, it's transmitter characteris-\ntics, and how you can decode the signal, please see the website at\nhttp://phxcubesat.asu.edu/content/amateur-operations!\n\n[ANS thanks Sarah Rogers, KI7OOY, for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n    AMSAT, along with our ARISS partners, is developing an Amateur\n    Radio package, including two-way communication capability, to\n          be carried on-board Gateway in lunar orbit.\n   Support AMSAT's projects today at https://www.amsat.org/donate/\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNew ISS Tour Video Goes Inside Cygnus NG-12\n\nA  video by astronauts Luca Parmitano and Andrew Morgan posted on the\nEuropean Space Agency YouTube channel on January 26th, 2020 shows Luca\ngoing inside the Cygnus NG-12 vehicle, which took cargo, as well as\nseveral satellites, including HuskySat-1, to the ISS.\n\nEven more relevant to HuskySat-1 and the the amateur radio satellite\ncommunity, Luca mentions the \"delivery system\" they planned to install\non the vehicle before it was released, which happened on January 31st.\nHuskySat-1 was deployed from the delivery system later that day. Luca\nsays he thinks it's really cool that the delivery system provides\nanother way to gain access to space, and I couldn't agree more.\n\nThe Cygnus tour begins at 24:42 into the video, and the delivery\nsystem is mentioned at 26:57.\n\nThis link to the video goes directly to 24:42:\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Snn1k_qEx20?t=1482\n\n[ANS thanks John Brier, KG4AKV, for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution\n\nThe following satellite's NORAD CAT ID has been changed in this week's\nAMSAT TLE distribution:\nOCULUS-ASR is now object NORAD CAT ID 44348\n\nThe following satellites have been deleted from this week's AMSAT TLE\ndistribution:\nOBJECT H - NORAD CAT ID 44346 (non-amateur satellite TEPCE, decayed\n   February 1,2020)\nOBJECT J - NORAD CAT ID 44347 (non-amateur satellite FALCONSAT-7)\nTBEX-A   - NORAD CAT ID 44356 (non-amateur satellite)\n\nThe following Amateur Radio satellite has been added to this week's\nTLE distribution:\nHuskySat 1 - NORAD CAT ID 45117 (Cygnus NG-12 Spacecraft deployment,\n1/31/2020).\n(Thanks to Nico Janseen, PA0DLO, for satellite identification.)\n\n[ANS thanks Ray Hoad, WA5QGD, AMSAT Orbital Elements Manager, for the\n above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nHuskySat-1 Gains Enthusiastic Following\n\nInitial reports indicate considerable interest among amateurs in\ntracking and capturing data from the newly deployed HuskySat-1. The\nsatellite, designed at the University of Washington, was launched to\nthe ISS by Cygnus NG-12 on November 2, 2019. It was deployed to a\nhigher orbit from the ISS by Cygnus on January 31, and began telemetry\ntransmissions on 435.800 MHz.\n\nHuskySat-1’s 1,200 bps BPSK beacon is active and decodable with the\nlatest release of AMSAT’s FoxTelem software. FoxTelem is available at\nhttps://github.com/ac2cz/FoxTelem\n\nHuskySat-1 is a CubeSat, and will demonstrate onboard plasma propul-\nsion and high gain telemetry for low Earth orbit that would be a pre-\ncursor for an attempt at a larger CubeSat designed for orbital inser-\ntion at the Moon.\n\nHuskySat-1 is expected to carry out its primary mission before being\nturned over to AMSAT for activation of a 30 kHz wide V/U linear trans-\nponder for SSB and CW.\n\nInitially it looked like object 2019-071G was HuskySat-1, but our\nfriends at the 18th Space Control Squadron published data on addi-\nional objects in recent days, and there is considerable evidence\nsuggesting that HuskySat-1 is actually one of those instead.\nElement sets for objects 2019-071H and 2019-071J are now distributed\nin nasabare.txt as candidates for the \"Real\" HuskySat-1.\n\nUsually element sets are good for a week or more, at least for ham\npurposes where we have fairly wide beam widths. The exception is the\nISS, the only spacecraft we have in nasabare.txt that maneuvers, and\nwe keep its element sets \"fresh\" by applying updates from Johnson\nSpaceflight Center several times per day. Husky-Sat 1 will be testing\na thruster early in its mission, and endeavors to demonstrate a delta-\nV of 100m/sec or more.  This could cause the accuracy of element sets\nto degrade more quickly than usual.\n\n[ANS thanks Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT IT Team Leader for the above\ninformation]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRobert Bankston, KE4AL, Proposes amsatLink Project\n\namsatLink is a proposed three-phased program to ultimately establish a\nconstellation of nanosatellites, linked in a peer-to-peer voice commun-\nications network for amateur satellite service. As a wireless ad hoc\nnetwork, future satellites can be added to the network and ground\nstations, moving in and out of a nanosatellite node’s footprint, can\neasily join and exit the network.\n\nThe proposal is to create an IEEE 802.11 wireless ad hoc network, op-\nerating within the FCC Part 97 amateur radio frequency allocation of\nthe 2.4 GHz microwave band. Individual satellite and ground nodes would\nconnect directly, dynamically, and non-hierarchically to as many other\nnodes as possible and cooperate with one another to create one virtual\nnetwork that can efficiently route data from/to clients.\n\nWhile the idea of cross-link communication between satellites is not\nnew, amsatLink hopes to continue the efforts of NASA’s PhoneSat, EDSN\nconstellation, and NODES missions, by expanding the network to include\nground-based nodes, demonstrating the use of voice over internet pro-\ntocol communications, and organizing nodes into clusters, where each\ncluster consists of one nanosatellite node and any visible ground nodes.\n\namsatLink will continue NASA’s design philosophy by utilizing commer-\ncial-off-the-shelf hardware and keeping the design and mission objec-\ntives as simple as possible. Estimated total hardware cost per satel-\nlite is less than $5,000. Proposed ground stations will also use off\nthe shelf equipment with a total estimated cost of less than $150.\n\nFor more details, see https://ke4al.github.io/amsatLink/  Robert seeks\nfurther discussion of this proposal among AMSAT members.\n\n[ANS thanks Robert Bankston, KE4AL, for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n           Purchase AMSAT Gear on our Zazzle storefront.\n          25% of the purchase price of each product goes\n            towards Keeping Amateur Radio in Space\n              https://www.zazzle.com/amsat_gear\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n10 US Schools Moved Forward in ARISS Selection Process\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is pleased to\nannounce the schools and host organizations selected for the second\nhalf of 2020.  Of the proposals submitted during the recent proposal\nwindow, 10 were accepted to move forward in the selection process for\na scheduled amateur radio contact with a crew member on the ISS. The\nprimary goal of the ARISS program is to engage young people in Science,\nTechnology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) activities and raise\ntheir awareness of space communications, radio communications, space\nexploration, and related areas of study and career possibilities.\n\nThe schools and host organizations are now engaged in the next step of\nthe acceptance process. When ready, they will be put in the scheduling\nqueue for a contact during the July to December 2020 time period. Al-\nthough ARISS expects to schedule all 10 during this period, changes to\nNASA crew availability might force some delays to the next time period.\n\nThe schools and host organizations are:\n\n     Estes Park Elementary School\n     Estes Park, CO\n\n     Green Bank Elementary School\n     Green Bank, WV\n\n     Tecumseh Public School\n     Tecumseh, OK\n\n     RSU #21\n     Kennebunk, ME\n\n     JFK High School\n     Denver, CO\n\n     Oregon Charter School\n     Mill City, OR\n\n     Newcastle High School\n     Newcastle, WY\n\n     Tarwater Elementary School\n     Chandler, AZ\n\n     Kopernik Observatory\n     Vestel, NY\n\n     Salem-South Lyon District Library\n     South Lyon, MI\n\n[ANS thanks Dave Jordan, AA4KN, ARISS PR, for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nAMSAT at Yuma (Arizona) Hamfest, 14-15 February 2020\n\nAMSAT will be at the Yuma Hamfest, which is also serving as the 2020\nARRL Southwestern Division Convention, on Friday and Saturday, 14-15\nFebruary 2020.
