He has worked All South African Grids which has never\nbeen done before on any band or mode let alone satellite.\n\nAlthough there is no award, he has roved from 83 different ZS grids. Tom\nroved from the mountains to the sea and coast to coast. He used various\nantennas in including small Yagi's and dual band verticals. The satellites\nPRIMARILY used were AO-91 and AO-92, with occasional contacts on SO-50,\nusing FM to encourage new satellite operators.\n\nFO-29 and AO-07 also featured in the mix. There are not that many satellite\noperators in ZS however, when he started\noperating many old and new hams got on to make a contact and follow him on\nhis trips.\n\nNow comes the more difficult part. In order to receive VUCC/r, Tom has to\ngo to another country to do some roves. Tom is\nlooking at going through Namibia for that.\n\nCongratulations to Tom for this feat and looking forward to processing his\nVUCC/r which will be a first for a ZS station.\n\n[ANS thanks Bruce Paige, KK5DO, AMSAT Board Member and Director Contests\nand Awards, for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n Need new satellite antennas?

But the missions have had difficulty getting off the ground.\n\nThe telescope is called X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission, or XRISM\nfor short (pronounced like the word “chrism”). The lunar mission is called\nSmart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM. XRISM and SLIM were expected\nto launch from an H-IIA rocket from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Center on\nMonday, August 28 at 00:26 UTC.\n\nBut less than 30 minutes before the scheduled launch, JAXA announced that\nthe launch had been canceled for the day “due to inclement weather.” While\nJAXA had moments before said the weather appeared “calm,” winds at higher\naltitudes above the launch site were too severe for a safe launch according\nto a social media post by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which built and\noperates the rocket that is being used for the flight.\n\nPoor weather had also led to an earlier postponement of the flight on\nSaturday. The Japanese space agency has not yet announced when the next\nlaunch attempt would occur. But it has a reserved launch period through\nSept. 15.\n\nXRISM is a telescope about the size of a bus. JAXA is collaborating with\nNASA on the mission, with additional participation from the European Space\nAgency. XRISM will study cosmic X-rays, which unlike other wavelengths of\nlight can only be detected from above Earth’s atmosphere, which shields us\nfrom the harmful radiation.\n\nSLIM is a compact robotic moon lander that weighs more than 1,500 pounds at\nlaunch. The lander’s mission is not primarily scientific. Rather, it is to\ndemonstrate a pinpoint navigation system, aiming to set down within about\nthe length of a football field of a targeted landing site. Developing\nbetter landing technology would enable future spacecraft to land closer to\nrugged terrain that is of scientific interest.\n\nThe space telescope will be placed in an orbit approximately 350 miles\nabove Earth. Once there, researchers will spend the next few months turning\nthe instruments on and running tests of their performance. Science\noperations will begin in January, and initial results from this data are\nexpected in about a year.\n\nSLIM is headed toward the Shioli crater on the moon’s near side. The\nspacecraft will be taking a long, roundabout journey of at least four\nmonths that requires less propellant. SLIM will take several months to\nreach lunar orbit, then spend a month circling the moon before attempting\nto set down on the surface.\n\n[ANS thanks The New York Times for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n Want to fly the colors on your own grid expedition?\n Get your AMSAT car flag and other neat stuff\n from our Zazzle store!\n 25% of the purchase price of each product goes\n towards Keeping Amateur Radio in Space\n https://www.zazzle.com/amsat_gear\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nChanges to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for Sept. 1\n\nTwo Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps\nin the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical\nmodel of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs.

TLE bulletin files are updated to\nadd or remove satellites as necessary Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or\nmore frequently if new high interest satellites are launched. More\ninformation may be found at\nhttps://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/\n\nThis week there are no additions or deletions to the AMSAT TLE distribution.\n\n[ANS thanks Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT Orbital Elements page manager, for\nthe above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nIndia's Lunar Lander Sparks Interest in the Moon\n\nChandrayaan-3’s lander and rover are safely on the Moon and their\nscientific work has begun. On August 23, the Vikram lander completed a\nsuccessful autonomous descent and landing to touch down near the Moon’s\nsouth pole, only about 350 meters away from its target. On August 26, the\nPragyan successfully rolled onto the lunar surface and navigated its first\nsmall crater.\n\nWith this success, India became the fourth nation (after the U.S., Soviet\nRussia, and China) to soft-land on the Moon. Not only is this mission a\nsuccess for India, but is humanity’s closest landing to the lunar south\npole -- an area of great interest to science, as there is speculation that\nwater ice may be found in this area of the moon.\n\nLanding a bit after sunrise on a lunar day, the Vikram lander with its four\nscience payloads, and its onboard six-wheeled Pragyan rover with an\nadditional two 2 payloads, have 14 Earth days to do some serious science\ntogether. All payloads have now been switched on, including ChaSTE onboard\nthe lander, which measures the change in temperature with depth -- from\n~50° C at the surface to -10° C over a depth of 8 cm in an initial test.\n\nIndia's successful landing took place just days after Luna 25, Russia’s\nfirst post-Soviet lunar lander, suffered an anomaly during an\norbit-lowering maneuver and crashed into the Moon. That leaves scientist\neager for data from the Chandrayaan-3 mission.\n\n[ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information]\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nARISS NEWS\n\nAmateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between\namateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with\nastronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station.

This week, Orbital Sidekick utilized its\nhyperspectral satellite constellation GHOSt to detect methane plumes from\noil well pads. And, data from JPL’s EMIT sensor on the ISS spotted 22\nmethane plumes released during an extreme heat wave in Texas. There are\nmore methane sleuthing satellites on the horizon: GHGSat is adding 4 more\nsatellites to their constellation that monitor facility leaks with ~25m\nspatial resolution today, and MethaneSat, set to launch in early 2024, is\nplanning to observe state-sized areas to identify specific sources of\nmethane from anywhere in the world, and will also freely release the data,\nwhere it can be post-processed by AI.

(ANS thanks Space.com for the\nabove information)\n\n+ NASA officials sounded an alarm Tuesday, August 29, about the agency's\nDeep Space Network, a collection of antennas in California, Spain, and\nAustralia used to maintain contact with missions scattered across the Solar\nSystem. Everything from NASA's Artemis missions to the Moon to the Voyager\nprobes in interstellar space rely on the Deep Space Network (DSN) to\nreceive commands and transmit data back to Earth. There are currently\naround 40 missions that rely on the DSN's antennas to stay in communication\nwith controllers and scientists back on Earth. Another 40-plus missions\nwill join the roster over the next decade or so, and many of the 40\nmissions currently using time on the network will likely still be operating\nover that time. “We have reached a really critical point on the DSN’s aging\ninfrastructure,\" said Sandra Cauffman, deputy director of NASA's\nastrophysics division.
