    "content": "Could be of some interest on the next STS-116 mission.\n\n\nSTS-116 to launch USNA/DARPA satellites\n\nPretty much overshadowed by the main mission to the ISS, STS-116 will launch \ntwo U.S. Naval Academy Student Project satellites after undocking from the ISS. \nThese satellites are called ANDE (Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment) and \nRAFT (Radar Fence Transponder).\n\nThe NRL science mission of ANDE is to measure the density of the upper \natmosphere by precise tracking of the orbit decay by the Maui Laser Ranging \nTracking Station. The Comm system provides important telemetry on the attitude \nand temperature of the spacecraft. The ANDE and RAFT satellites will carry \namateur radio communications payloads (see frequencies below), but RAFT has \nsomething a bit extra.\n\nRAFT carries a 216.980 MHz receiver/transmitter to demonstrate self-location \ntechniques when it flies through the Space Surveillance Network radar fence \nacross the southern USA. When this experiment is activated, users will hear a 1 \nsecond ping when it flies through the fence. This is an excellent way to see \nhow sensitive your radio installation is.\n\n\n\nAmateur Payloads:\n\nANDE Side A: 145.825 MHz Digipeater up/downlink 1200 baud packet\n\nANDE Side B: 145.825 MHz downlink (backup to side A only)\n\nRAFT System: 145.825 MHz Digipeater up/downlink 1200 baud packet\n\nRAFT PSK-31: 28.120 MHz HF PSK-31 uplink -downlink on 145.825 MHz\n\nYou can get more information on these satellites at the following links:\n\nANDE/RAFT Space Operations\nhttp://eng.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/ande-raft-ops.html\n\nANDE (MAA) - Telemetry/Command and Comms\nhttp://eng.usna.navy.mil/~bruninga/ande.html\n\nVarious frequencies list \nhttp://www.monitoringtimes.com/\n\n\nRAFT Satellite Project\n\nThe MARScom satellite is suppose to launch with this mission, but nothing hs \nbeen mentioned in any of the official STS-116 paperwork about that Cubesat. \nWhile its mission fate is unknown as of this writing, according to a 13 October \n2006 Chief of NAVMARCORPSMARS message\nthe satellite is at KSC and ready for launch.\n\nYou can view my complete description of the RAFT and MARScom payloads at\nMEMS-Based PICOSAT Inspector (MEPSI)\n\nhttp://exploration.nasa.gov/programs/station/STP-H2-MEPSI.html\n\nsources:http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/\n           :http://monitor-post.blogspot.com/ \n\n_ADDITIONNAL MESSAGES__OF INTEREST______________________________\n\nR 131200Z OCT 2006\nFM NNN0ASA VA\nTO NNN0ALL\nINFO ZEN/AAA9A AZ\nZEN/AGA3C IL\nBT\nUNCLAS\nSUBJ: CHNAVMARCORMARS INFO BCST 48-06 - MARSCOM SATELLITE\n1. BOB, NNN0APR, HEAD OF THE NAVAL ACADEMY SATELLITE LAB, HAS\nINFORMED ME THAT MARSCOM, THE NAVY-MARINE CORPS MARS SATELLITE, IS AT\nTHE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER AWAITING LAUNCH ON THE NEXT SHUTTLE ON ABOUT\n5 DEC 2006. AT THAT TIME WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN SATELLITE IN ORBIT. WE\nHAVE A LITTLE OVER 50 DAYS TO DEVELOP A CADRE OF NAVMARCORMARS\nOPERATORS AND GROUND STATIONS. MORE INFO (INCLUDING A COUNTDOWN TO\nLAUNCH) IS AVAILABLE AT (ALL LOWER CASE):\n  HTTP://WWW.EW.USNA.EDU/(TILDE)BRUNINGA/MARSCOM.HTML\n2. MARSCOM WILL BE DIFFICULT TO HEAR AND TO CONTROL DUE TO USING HF\nSSB FOR THE DOWNLINK AND THE DOPPLER SHIFT. THE DOWNLINK TRANSMITTER\nTURNED OUT TO HAVE AN EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER (ERP) OF UNDER 100\nMILLIWATTS INSTEAD OF THE DESIRED 2 WATTS. WE ASSUME A 10 METER BEAM\nWILL BE NEEDED FOR THE COMMAND STATIONS. THE NAVAL ACADEMY HAS NO\nSUCH COMMAND STATIONS AT THIS TIME ... SO, WE NEED NAVMARCORMARS\nSTATIONS THAT HAVE 148 MHZ FM UPLINK AND SSB 10M DOWNLINK, AND A 1200\nBAUD TNC CONNECTED TO EACH.\n3. MARSCOM, BECAUSE OF ITS LOW EARTH ORBIT, WILL DE-ORBIT IN UNDER\nSIX MONTHS. WE WILL NEED TO FIRM UP OUR PLANS ON WHAT WE WANT TO\nACCOMPLISH DURING ITS 6-MONTH LIFE. THE NAVAL ACADEMY WILL BE\nCONTROLLING A TOTAL OF FOUR SATELLITES ALL LAUNCHED AT ABOUT THE SAME\nTIME ON THE SHUTTLE AND AN ATLAS. THEY ASK THAT MARS VOLUNTEERS ACT\nAS MARSCOM GROUND STATIONS, NET-CONTROL OPERATORS AND MISSION\nPLANNERS.\n4. BECAUSE OF THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM DELAYS, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME\nSINCE I INITIALLY REQUESTED VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS PROGRAM. THEREFORE, I\nAM SOLICITING VOLUNTEERS ANEW TO TAKE ON THE ROLES LISTED ABOVE.\nEXPERIENCE WITH SATELLITES IS DESIRED, BUT NOT MANDATORY. THE LOW ERP\nON THE HF DOWNLINK WILL MAKE THIS A REAL CHALLENGE. VOLUNTEERS ARE\nNEEDED ACROSS THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE ANTICIPATED SMALL FOOTPRINT\nOF THE MARSCOM SATELLITE.\n5. TO VOLUNTEER, PLEASE SUBMIT A REQUEST BY MARS MESSAGE TO YOUR\nSTATE DIRECTOR, INFO YOUR REGION AND AREA DIRECTOR AND NNN0ASA VA. BE\nSURE TO INCLUDE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SATELLITE EXPERIENCE.\n6.
