I will\ncertainly miss her, good bye dear friend.\n\nThanks to all who helped fund, design, build, launch, command and operate\nVO-52. It's 9+ year mission has been wonderful! It was fun!! Memories and stories will be around forever.\n\nLooking forward to FOX-1 and other AMSAT projects worldwide!\n\n73!\nHector, CO6CBF / KF5YXV\n\n\n________________________________________\nDe: [email protected] [[email protected]] En nombre de Mani [VU2WMY/KJ6LRS] [[email protected]]\nEnviado el: lunes, 21 de julio de 2014 11:03 a.m.\nPara: BB, AMSAT; AMSAT-INDIA; VUHAMS\nCC: HAMS, ISRO\nAsunto: [amsat-bb] Good Bye HAMSAT-VO52 - Rest In Peace\n\nDear Friends,\n\nWith heavy heart, I sadly convey, that our little angel ‘HAMSAT VO-52’\nwould no more be able to offer her services to the ‘Amateur Radio\nFraternity. HAMSAT VO-52 succumbed in Space on 11th July 2014, while she\nwas on her 49,675th orbit, due to the failure of on-board lithium ion\nbatteries that have met their end of life.\n\nAlthough her desires were to be at work with other systems and sub-systems\nworking normal as per the latest telemetry received, the on-board computer\nrecurring to ‘Reset’ mode due to the failure of batteries is preventing\nher to do so. Hence, it is decided not to expect any more meaningful and\nreliable services from HAMSAT VO-52.\n\nSince 11th July, every best possible effort has been put in by the\nspacecraft controllers here in ISTRAC Bangalore to revive her back to life\nand to help her with work load, so she won’t be swamped when she returns,\nbut with no luck. Though it is hard, the HAMSAT VO-52 designers and\ncontrollers insist that the time has come to let the little angel free in\nspace to go drifting on her own from their care and custody.\n\nThus, today 21st July 2014, ISRO have decommissioned 'HAMSAT-VO52'\nofficially.\n\nWe all here in ISRO do definitely hope that ‘HAMSAT VO-52’ worked\ntirelessly and was a good friend to the ‘Amateur Radio Fraternity’\naround the World. We are sure that HAMSAT was loved by all who worked\nthrough her. Though, we are deeply saddened by the loss of HAMSAT VO-52,\nbut she will never be forgotten and far from our hearts, minds and\nmemories.\n\nHAMSAT VO-52 will always be remembered by all of us here in ISRO as one of\nthe greatest satellites of ours.\n\nDear ‘HAMSAT’, looking at the sky, we all say ‘Good Bye’ to you.\nYou’ll be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.\n\nNevertheless, at this point of time, on behalf of the World Amateur Radio\nFraternity, we thank each and everyone who contributed to the great success\nof ‘HAMSAT’.\n\nParticularly, our sincere thanks to the Chairman ISRO, Dr. K.\nRadhakrishnan, past chairmen Dr. Kasthurirangan, Dr. G. Madhavan Nair,\nDirector-ISAC Dr. S.K.Shiva Kumar, past ISAC Directors Dr. P.S. Goel, Dr.\nShankara, Dr. T.K. Alex, Director-ISTRAC Shri. B.S. Chandrasekhar,\nscientific secretary Dr. Koteshwar Rao, Project Director-Shri. J.P. Gupta,\nDeputy project Directors, Mission Director-Shri. R.Suresh, Operations\nDirector-Shri. Parimalarangan and each and every person directly or\nin-directly contributed.\n\nAt this point of time, we also thank AMSAT-India and in particular, late\nShri. Nagesh Upadhyaya-VU2NUD, Shri. B.S. Gajendra Kumar-VU2BGS, Shri.\nPrathap Kumar-VU2POP, Air Commodore. Subramanian-VU2UV, Shri. V.P.\nSandlas-VU2VP, Dr.R. Ramesh-VU2RMS, Shri. Nitin-VU3TYG, Mr. Williams\nLeijenaar PE1RAH and each and every member.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nPasted below is the message from Mr. R. Suresh, Mission Director:\n\nHAMSAT, the first small satellite by ISRO has been Decommissioned after\nnearly a decade of service to the World Ham community.\n\nA true masterpiece among small satellites, designed for one year mission\nlife, but exceeded all expectations by serving for almost 10 years. A truly\nautonomous satellite, with “Zero maintenance“ in terms of Mission\noperations, it provided a springboard to test many new concepts such as\nBMU. LI-ion based power system, automatic Spin rate control and Auto SAOC\nfor maintaining the Satellite attitude without any ground commanding.\n\n HAMSAT known as “OSCAR-52” among the Amateur HAM operators has been\nvery popular because of its high sensitivity receiver and strong\ntransmitter. Indian Radio Amateurs on many occasions conveyed to us that\nthey have been greatly honored to share the adulations showered on ISRO and\nINDIA by the International Radio Amateur for gifting this wonderful\nsatellite \"HAMSAT\".\n\nI take this opportunity to applaud the HAMSAT teams at ISAC, ISTRAC and\nother centre for their efforts and support, which has made ISRO proud\namong the HAM users across the globe.\n\nR,SURESH\nMISSION DIRECTOR\nHAMSAT\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nMani [VU2WMY/KJ6LRS]\nSecretary & Station-In-Charge\nUpagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC\nISRO Satellite Centre\nHAL Airport Road, Bangalore-560 017.\nPhone:(Office)91-80-25082598/25082054/25082192\nMobile: 91-9880 341 456\nE-mail ID: [email protected]\n [email protected]\n [email protected]\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nConfidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for\nthe sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and\nprivileged information.
