ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space\nincluding reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur\nRadio operators who share an active interest in designing, building,\nlaunching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio\nsatellites.\n\nThe news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur\nRadio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to:\nans-editor at amsat.org.\n\nIn this edition:\n\n* One Million Telemetry Packets Received by AO-85 Ground Network\n* ARISS Countdown to 1000th Contact\n* School SSTV CubeSat to deploy from ISS\n* First satellite QSO to Antartica\n* AMSAT's Fox-1E Likely to Get a Lift from NASA\n* AMSAT Events\n* ARISS News\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-066.01\nANS-066 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 066.01\n>From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\nDATE March 06, 2016\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-066.01\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nOne Million Telemetry Packets Received by AO-85 Ground Network\n\n\nAt 10:31:06 UTC on March 3rd 2016, the millionth telemetry packet\nfrom AO-85 was submitted by PB0AHX to  AMSAT's Fox Internet Telemetry\nSystem (FITS).   Led by Chris Thompson, G0KLA, AMSAT has built a\nworldwide network of ground stations that can effectively monitor\nspacecraft health as well as collect experiment data for our\nuniversity partners. The FITS development team is international in\nnature, with contributors from the US, Canada and the UK.   There is\nplenty of work to go around, if you are interested in helping please\ncontact [email protected]\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT/NA for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nARISS Countdown to 1000th Contact\n\nThe ARISS contact between Powys Secondary Schools, Mid Wales, UK,\nwith Astronaut Timothy Peake KG5BVI was on Saturday represented the\n997th successful ARISS contact in ARISS history. ARISS is posed to\ncelebrate its 1000th contact as early as this week.\n\nBelow is the list of currently scheduled events for ARISS. Each one\nwill have to be successful for the numbering to be correct. As of\nright now, the March 10 contact with North Dakota (the first for that\nstate) is in the prime slot to be the 1000th contact.\n\nSchool: Slovanské Gymnázium Olomouc, Olomouc, Moravia, Czech\nRepublic (Kopra) #998\nTue 2016-03-08 08:22:43 UTC 82 deg\n\nSchool: Atlanta Science Festival, Atlanta, Georgia (Peake) #999\nTue 2016-03-08 16:11:05 UTC 53 deg via K6DUE\n\nSchool: North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC), Grand Forks,\nNorth Dakota (Kopra) #1000\nThu 2016-03-10 19:08:55 UTC 56 deg via W6SRJ\n\nAs stated above, if all of the above contacts are successful it looks\nas if the contact between Tim Kopra KE5UDN and North Dakota Space\nGrant Consortium (NDSGC) in Grand Forks, North Dakota Thursday 2016-\n03-10 19:08:55 UTC will be contact 1000. The contact will be\ntelebridged via W6SRJ. Kopra will use the callsign NA1SS.\n\nIn celebration of the 1000th contact NASA is producing videos\ntouting the importance of amateur radio on the ISS.\nThe first of these to be released can be viewed at\nhttps://youtu.be/bTOiiBd2dCo\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSchool SSTV CubeSat to deploy from ISS\n\n\nA Slow Scan TV (SSTV) CubeSat developed by students at Saint Thomas\nMore Cathedral School (STM) in Arlington, VA, is set to be deployed\nfrom the International Space Station on March 7 between 8-11am EST.\n\nSTM is thought to be the first Elementary school to build their own\nsatellite, even Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First Grade\nstudents were involved in the project.\n\nThe satellite, a 1U CubeSat called STMSat-1, will transmit a SSTV\nsignal on 437.800 MHz.\n\nMiddle School Students took the initiative to begin exploring how to\nreceive data from the CubeSat and formed a Ham Radio Club. There,\nthey learned the basics of operating a ham radio station and explored\nSlow Scan Television as an option for receiving images once the\nsatellite is deployed.\n\nHow Did 400 Grade School Students Built A Nano-Satellite?\n\nhttp://jewelbots.tumblr.com/post/134465599599/how-did-400-grade-\nschool-students-built-a\n\nSTMSat-1\nhttps://twitter.com/STMSAT11\nhttps://www.facebook.com/stmsat1/\nhttp://www.stmsat-1.org/\n\nBe advised that the deployment could be delayed or postponed\ndepending on demands on the crew's time\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK* for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nFirst satellite QSO to Antartica\n\n\nOn Feb-28 2016, first satellite QSO from Antartica to mainland\nArgentina thru SO-50.

The satellite, also known as RadFxSat-2,\nwill carry a radiation effects experiment developed by Vanderbilt as\nwell as a 30-kHz wide amateur radio linear transponder with an uplink\non 2 meters and a downlink on 70 centimeters. This will be in place\nof the FM repeater carried by most amateur cubesats. The project\nreceived a #1 priority out of 20 accepted proposals and has been\noffered a launch date by NASA. This is the second collaboration\nbetween AMSAT and Vanderbilt. The first - RadFxSat/Fox-1B - is also\npart of NASA's  CSLI program and is scheduled for launch next January.\n\nhttp://cqnewsroom.blogspot.com/2016/02/amsats-fox-1e-likely-to-get-\nlift-from.html\n\n[ANS thanks the CQ Newsroom for theabove information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.
