Wondering if Arissat-1 is degrading so fast, that it's slowing/dragging even more than expected. If I get another chance over the next week, I'll get a recording as well. Was pleasantly surprised that it was on, considering nothing heard yesterday on a higher pass. \n\n\nBruce - W3NJ\n\n \n\n \n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: Alan P. Biddle <[email protected]>\nTo: AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>; SAREX-BB <[email protected]>\nSent: Sun, Nov 27, 2011 6:46 am\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Last chances to hear ARISSat-1 are rapidly approaching.\n\n\nAll,\n\nA reminder that if you have been putting off working through the ARISSat-1\nrepeater, receiving SSTV pictures, or submitting telemetry, the next few\nweeks will be your last opportunity to be a part of this satellite's\nhistory. Since deployment in August, ARISSat-1 has descended about 60 km,\nand is currently losing more than 1.5 km per day. The rapid rate is\npartially the result of the recent solar activity on the atmosphere,\nsignificantly increasing the drag. The predictions by several individuals\nand groups are all converging toward a reentry in January or February, 2012.\nHeating will become significant before then. Remember, good telemetry in\nthis period provides invaluable information to the engineering team, to be\nused in future projects. \n\nThe orbit period changes about 30 seconds per day, and that will increase\nsteadily. Be certain to update your tracking program Keps from Space-Track\nor CelesTrak before each pass. They issue revised versions 3-5 times daily.\nAs the descent continues, this will become even more critical to copying the\ntelemetry beacon, especially unattended.\n\n73s,\n\nAlan\nWA4SCA\n\n\n\n\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
