Digital copies of the\nProceedings of this Symposium can be purchased through the AMSAT Store\nonline at www.amsat.org\n\nThe first session was held Friday afternoon, and began with a brief welcome\nfrom AMSAT President Robert Bankston, KE4AL.\n\nThe first presentation was \"Building a Portable Sta;on for QO-100, the\nGeosta;onary Satellite Es'hail-2 Carrying Amateur Radio\" by Stefan Wagener,\nVE4SW. While QO-100 is not accessible from North America, Stefan discussed\nhis approach to a portable station that he has taken on European vacations.\n\nRandy Berger, WA0D, ARISS Director of Engineering followed with \"What's\nNew, ARISS on ISS and Mission to the Moon with Lunar Gateway?\" His\npresentation focused on the Student on Orbit Sensor System (SoOSS) which\nwill send telemetry from various sensors on the ISS in a format that can be\neasily received and decoded in schoolrooms on Earth.\n Randy also reported on prospects for amateur radio aboard the Lunar\nGateway, a space station in a complex orbit around the moon. Opportunities\nexist and conversations with NASA are ongoing a the Gateway design emerges.\n\n\"OTA Software Update for LEO Satellites,\" a presentation by Heimir Thor\nSverrisson, W1ANT, discussed advantages and challenges of being able to\nreprogram satellites after launch with over the air updates.\n\nNick Pugh, K5QXJ, presented with details on the CAPE IV 3U satellite\ncurrently in development with input from several universities. The primary\nmission will focus on educational projects aimed at high school and middle\nschool classrooms.\n\nThe afternoon session concluded with \"Export Control and Economic Sanctions\nPolicy\" by Robert Bankston, KE4AL, AMSAT President. The presentation\ncentered on the newly adopted ITAR/EAR policy formally adopted by the AMSAT\nBoard at their meeting earlier in the day. The goal is to return to\ninternational cooperation in the building and launching of satellites while\ncomplying with Federal law.\n\nOn Saturday morning, Nick Pugh, K5QXJ, updated the Symposium on \"University\nof Louisiana at Lafaye[e Education Initiative\" which encourages primary and\nmiddle school students to get involved in satellite technology through\nhands-on projects.\n\nPaul Graveline, K1YUB, provided and update on the AMSAT CubeSat Simulator\nproject. The presentation included a pre-recorded video by AMSAT VP,\nEducational Relations Alan Johnston, KU2Y, reviewing educational events\nthat have taken place in the previous months.\n\nA GOLF TEE update was presented by Kipton Moravec, AE5IB, who is an\nengineering volunteer coordinating the Electonic Power Subsystem (EPS) for\nthe first satellite in the Greater Orbit, Larger Footprint (GOLF) series,\nknown as the Technology Exploration Environment (TEE).\n\n\"The AMSAT Linear Transponder Module\" was presented by Burns Fisher, WB1FJ.\nThe LTM is a multi-use transponder board set designed for universities and\nother partners launching cubesats who have need for a communications\ncomponent. Similar to the radio systems in Fox and GOLF, the partnership\nprovides easy downlinks for universities and a transponder for amateurs.\n\nIn the afternoon on Saturday, Jonathan Brandenburg, KF5IDY, AMSAT Assistant\nVP, Engineering presented \"Building a Helmholtz Cage for Dynamic Magnetic\nField Generation and CubeSat Aitude Control Testing.\" Magnetorquers built\nto stabilize cubesats require test beds. A Helmholtz Cage provides the\ntesting environment simulating the Earth's magnetic field, but is not\ntrivial to build.\n\nAMSAT Board member Zach Metzinger, N0ZGO, provided a report on the reaction\nwheel project that will be used for 3-axis orientation of the GOLF\nsatellites. The entire reaction wheel assembly is being constructed\nspecifically for the project by AMSAT volunteers.\n\nAs the final presentation, Jerry Buxton, AMSAT VP of Engineering, gave an\nAMSAT Engineering Update touching on Fox, Fox+, GOLF, and other projects.\n\n[ANS thanks Mark Johns, K0JM, for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n The 2022 AMSAT President's Club coins have arrived!\n To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its launch on\nOctober 15, 1972, this year's coin features\nan image of AMSAT-OSCAR 6.\n Join the AMSAT President's Club today and help\nKeep Amateur Radio in Space!\n https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club/\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nAMSAT Board Elects Officers\n\nDuring their meeting prior to the AMSAT Symposium, on Thursday, Oct. 20,\nthe AMSAT Board of Directors elected officers for the coming year. Those\nelected are:\n\nRobert Bankston, KE4AL, President\nPaul Stoetzer, N8HM, Executive Vice President\nJerry Buxton, N0JY, Vice President - Engineering\nDrew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, Vice President - Operations\nAlan Johnston, KU2Y, Vice President - Educational Relations\nVacant Position, Vice President - Member Services\nFrank Karnauskas, N1UW, Vice President - Development\nSteve Belter, N9IP, Treasurer\nJeff Davis, KE9V, Secretary\n\nIn other business, reports on current status of various functions were\nreceived from the officers. President Robert Bankston reported that AMSAT's\nfinancial status is strong. Reduced overhead from the closing of the\nWashington, DC office has resulted in more funds to build & launch\nsatellites. Also, AMSAT membership remains steady at more than 4000 members\nrepresenting 75 countries.\n\nActing Secretary Paul Stoetzer, N8HM, reported that the online election of\nBoard members ran smoothly and resulted in considerable cost savings from\nthe mailed paper ballot system previously used.\n\nSteve Belter, N9IP, AMSAT Treasurer, reported that funds on hand are\nsufficient to meet the needs of day-to-day operations and satellite design\nand building projects currently underway. He also reported that Form 990\nhas been filed with IRS and will be posted publicly. Outside review of the\nbooks was conducted and found complete & correct. The Board voted\nunanimously to accept the review from McDaniel & Associates.\n\nMark Hammond, N8MH, reported on behalf of the Operations team. He gave a\nrundown on the current status of various satellites now in orbit. Of\nparticular note, FalconSat-3 is predicted to re-enter the atmosphere in the\nnext few months, but may be made available on a limited basis until that\ntime. Also, AO-16 is in a period of continuous sunlight, but has not yet\nresponded to commands to switch on. The operations team will continue to\ntry to reactivate the satellite. The operations team wishes to thank\nAMSAT-DL for providing telemetry from AO-109 via their 20-meter diameter\ndish antenna.\n\nVice President - Development, Frank Karnauskas, N1UW, reported that\nmembership in the President's Club remains steady. Grant requests have been\nmade and are pending. Kidzsat and BuzzSat programs are starting up. For\nthese programs, it is important to focus on being an educational and\nscientific organization. “Amateur radio isn't our purpose, it's our\nreward,” he noted.\n\nMark Johns, K0JM, Senior Editor of the AMSAT News Service bulletins,\nreported that there is an ongoing need for volunteer editors to assist with\ncreating and distributing the weekly bulletins. A long-term goal is to\ntransition from plain text to html format for the email editions, but the\nBoard expressed concerns that the bulletins remain accessible across\nvarious radio platforms, as well as via the internet. Concerns were raised\nabout reporting of information embargoed by launch providers. AMSAT is\nbound by launch agreements to honor these restrictions.\n\nThe AMSAT Journal has been successful in digital format, however content is\nneeded. AMSAT members are encouraged to work with the Journal editors to\ndevelop ideas and projects into articles.\n\nThe IT team has worked diligently on maintaining various email lists and\nsystems. The Discord channel has several hundred members currently. AMSAT\nis seeking a webmaster to revamp the website for easier navigation.\n\nContests & Awards Manager, Bruce Paige, KK5DO, reported that the Gridmaster\nAward has been the most sought after in the past year, but other awards are\nholding steady. Store receipts are similar to last year.\n\nAt the close of the morning session, the Board adjourned for lunch.\n\n[ANS thanks Mark Johns, K0JM, for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFinancial Policy is Focus of AMSAT Board\n\nPolicy decisions surrounding finances were the focus of the afternoon\nsession of the AMSAT Board of Directors meeting in Bloomington, Minnesota\non Thursday, Oct. 20. A A Policy Proposal for the handling of financial\nreserves was discussed, and a revised Financial Procedures Manual was\ndiscussed at length. Final copy will be approved at an upcoming meeting.\n\nTechnical discussion was focused on development of a flight platform that\ncould speed up testing of critical components. The platform would allow\nrapid testing of individual systems that can keep volunteer engineers\nengaged and speed deployment of new satellites. The test platform could be\nlaunched into short duration, low orbit flights that would be sufficient to\nverify system operation for insertion into longer duration projects, such\nas GOLF. Basic components could be sourced at low cost from Consumer\nOff-The-Shelf (COTS) components, and the AMSAT-built experimental segments\ncan be added as needed.\n\n[ANS thanks Mark Johns, K0JM, for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n Need new satellite antennas?

The\npurpose of the policy is to enable and encourage resumption of\ninternational cooperation in the building and launching of satellites while\nremaining within the bounds of Federal law.\n\nInternational Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is \"a United States\nregulatory regime to restrict and control the export of defense and\nmilitary related technologies to safeguard U.S. national security and\nfurther U.S. foreign policy objectives,\" according to the U.S. State\nDepartment.\n\nThe Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are a set of regulations\nadministered by the U..S Commerce Department. The EAR regulates whether a\nperson or organization may export something from the U.S. to another in a\nforeign country. The EAR apply to physical objects, as well as intellectual\nproperty such as technology and software.\n\n\"It's beem more than a decade since AMSAT has collaborated with a non-U.S.\norganization to build and launch a satellite,\" said AMSAT President Robert\nBankston, KE4AL. \"We need to learn how to get back to that while operating\nin this new legal environment.\"\n\nThe new policy will give AMSAT engineering volunteers guidance on how to do\ntheir work in collaboration with international partner while remaining\nwithin the law. By clarifying the steps necessary for compliance,\nvolunteers can be more confident about their activities.\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nVolunteer For AMSAT\n\nAMSAT needs qualified volunteers for a number of positions!\n\nIf you want to be a part of the solution in making AMSAT operational and\nwork toward designing, building and finding a launch, WE NEED YOU!

With Crew 4 commander Kjell\nLindgren, KO5MOS, and co-pilot Bob Hines monitoring cockpit displays,\nflanked by Jessica Watkins and European Space Agency astronaut Samantha\nCristoforetti, IZ0UDF, the Crew Dragon “Freedom” undocked from the Harmony\nmodule’s upper port at 17:05z. Descending under four large parachutes, the\ncapsule gently splashed down off Florida’s east coast at 21:55z, within\nsight of a SpaceX recovery ship stationed nearby. (ANS thanks Spaceflight\nNow for the above information)\n\n+ China is preparing to launch the final missions to complete its\nthree-module Tiangong space station which it plans to keep constantly\noccupied for at least a decade. A Long March 5B is being assembled and\ntested at Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on the southern island of\nHainan. The 849-metric-ton rocket is expected to launch the third and final\nmodule for the Tiangong space station at the end of October. After\ninsertion into orbit by the Long March 5B first stage, Mengtian will\nrendezvous and dock with Tiangong, joining two earlier modules—the Tianhe\ncore module and Wentian experiment module—in orbit to complete the Tiangong\nspace station. (ANS thanks Space News for the above information)\n\n+ NASA is ready to resume spacewalks outside the International Space\nStation after completing an investigation of water found in a spacesuit\nduring a spacewalk earlier this year. The agency said Oct. 18 it expected\nto resume spacewalks at the station in mid-November after tracking down the\nsource of a thin layer of water that pooled on the visor of European Space\nAgency astronaut Matthias Maurer at the end of a March 23 spacewalk. The\ninvestigation, which included returning the spacesuit Maurer wore to Earth\nfor analysis on a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft in August, concluded there\nwas no specific hardware flaw with the suit itself. Instead, NASA blamed\n“integrated system performance where several variables such as crew\nexertion and crew cooling settings led to the generation of comparatively\nlarger than normal amounts of condensation within the system.” NASA says\nthat, in response, it has updated procedures and developed “new mitigation\nhardware” to minimize water accumulation and to absorb any water that does\naccumulate in the helmet. With those measures, NASA says spacewalks can\nresume on the station. (ANS thanks Space News for the above information)\n\n+ Richard Branson's small satellite service provider Virgin Orbit Holdings\nInc (VORB.O) will be doing its first launch from European soil within the\nnext six weeks, its founder said on Oct. 18. \"Virgin Orbit can launch\nsatellites into space from anywhere in the world into any orbit at a days\nnotice,\" Branson said during a press conference in Milan, Italy. \"We are\ndoing the first launch from European soil into space within the next six\nweeks ... from Cornwall,\" he added.
