See below.  -Pat N8PK\n\n***************\nThe ARRL Letter\nVol. 26, No. 18\nMay 4, 2007\n***************\n[snip]\n\n==>ARRL FOUNDATION PROVIDES SECOND DONATION TO ARISS COLUMBUS PROJECT\n\nThe ARRL Foundation has granted an additional $2000 toward the cost of\nconstructing and installing Amateur Radio antennas and equipment on the\nInternational Space Station's Columbus module, set to launch later this\nyear.  The ARRL Foundation earlier contributed $5000 to the project.\n\nColumbus will house an additional Amateur Radio station, including the first\ndigital Amateur Radio TV (DATV) station in space as well as a ham radio\ntransponder.  Funding to finish and install ham radio antennas on the\nEuropean Space Agency (ESA)-built laboratory module has been uncertain,\nhowever.\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Vice Chairman\nGaston Bertels, ON4WF, says donations from various sources covered a payment\nof 9000 Euros -- approximately $12,000 -- in March.  A second payment is due\nthis fall.  Bertels says the IARU Region 1 Executive Committee also donated\n2000 Euro to the project.\n\nThe antennas have been manufactured and will be tested for acceptance at the\nEuropean Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) before delivery to\nGoddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, where a silicon dioxide coating\nwill be applied before the antennas are installed on the Columbus module,\nBertels explained.\n\n\"Their development and manufacturing cost is now nearly covered, but not yet\nthe cost of certification tests,\" Bertels told ARRL.\n\nOther donations have come from AMSAT-NA and AMSAT-UK, among other\norganizations, as well as from many individual donors.\n\nThe yet-to-be-built Columbus Amateur Radio gear will make it possible for\nARISS to establish wideband and video operations for the first time and\nallow continuous transponder operation.\n\nAMSAT-Belgium has set up a bank account to receive additional donations for\nthe Columbus project. Details are on the ARISS-EU Columbus Web page\n<http://www.ariss-eu.org/columbus.htm>.

Antenna manufacturing goes well and we maintain high\nquality of all manufacturing processes.\n\nAnswers to you questions:\n\n > 1) When will the antennas be at Goddard to be coated?  I \nunderstand that the\n > date might not yet be known given the fabrication issues, but an \nestimate is\n > fine at this point.\n\nThe ESA time plan is for shipment antennas on 7th May to Goddard.  We will\ndeliver them to ESA soon after Easter (what is only slightly late than in\ntimeplan: Easter).  As we have four antennas made, tests can be run in\nparallel: ESTEC can run thermal-vacuum tests with three antennas and one\nantenna can be used for other tests, e.g. vibration tests.\n\n > 2) Will you or someone else be hand-carrying the antennas here, or will you\n > be shipping them to the US?\n\nWe consider it, as it will speed up delivery and it is always helpful to\nhave antenna designer at hand during high-impact technological processes on\nthe final product.  The point is to keep excellent electrical contacts in the\ncable assembly and to keep a proper operation of three sliding foot.\n\n > 3) How many units will need to be coated?\n\nThree antennas.  I think, that three antennas which will pass thermal-vacuum\ntests and vibration (lower levels) in ESTEC can be shipped immediately for\ncoating, whereas the fourth one will be avaialble some time during May,\ndepending on the completness of vibration tests.\n\nWith Kind Regards,\n\nPawel\n\nAssociate Professor\nInstitute of Telecommunications, Teleinformatics and Acoustics\nWroclaw University of Technology\nWybrzeze Wyspianskiego 27\n50-370 Wroclaw, Poland\ntel: +48-71-320-31-91\nfax: +48-71-320-25-30 or 31-89\[email protected]\n\n\n=================================================================\nPatrick L.
