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* RadFxSat(Fox-1B) Passes Mission Readiness Review\n* AMSAT at the Dayton Hamvention -- Call for volunteers\n* HamRadioNow: Look!

I presented 81 powerpoint\nslides covering all of the ICD (Interface Control Document) requirements,\n  mission, operations, and deorbit.\nAt the conclusion of the presentation including questions answers, the \npanel\nunanimously approved RadFxSat as ready for flight.  The next milestone will\nbe integration into the P-POD with launch scheduled NET (No Earlier than)\nSeptember 23, 2017 aboard a Delta II at Vandenberg AFB.\n\n\n[ANS thanks Jerry Buxton, N0JY, AMSAT Vice-President Engineering\nfor the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT at the Dayton Hamvention -- Call for volunteers\n\n\nThe Dayton Hamvention is less than three weeks away!\n\nIt is time to be creating your shopping list and making your travel plans.\n\nLast year, we had 45 people assist with the AMSAT booth at Dayton. We've\nhad a good response so far to our call for volunteers, but we could really\nuse another 10-15 people.\n\nThe 2017 Hamvention is May 19-21 in Xenia, Ohio.  Would you consider\nhelping AMSAT at the Hamvention this year?\n\nThe interaction with AMSAT members, satellite operators, designers, and\nbuilders makes the whole experience a lot of fun.  Meet or renew\nacquaintances, exchange operating tips, and find out what antennas,\nsoftware and equipment other AMSAT members use.  We currently expect\nmost of the AMSAT senior officers and board members to be there too.\n\nIf you're an experienced operator, great!  We can use you and your\nexperience.\n\nIf you've never operated a satellite before, but want to learn more,\nthat's OK.  We can use your help too.\n\nWhether you're available for only a couple of hours or if you can spend the\nentire weekend with us, your help would be greatly appreciated.\n\nPlease send an e-mail to Steve, [email protected] if you can help. Thank you!\n\n\n[ANS thanks Steve Belter, N9IP, Hamvention 2017 Team Leader\nfor the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nHamRadioNow: Look! Up in the Sky!\n\n\nThe bulk of this episode is an on-location interview with two Raleigh NC\narea hams who gave a couple of live demonstrations of operating through\nsatellites at the Raleigh Hamfest, April 15,  2017.\n\nThere’s some banter between hosts David Goldenberg W0DHG and Gary\nPearce KN4AQ back in the studio. And toward the end Gary announces a\nViewer Challenge that we’ll detail down below.\n\nThe satellite hams are John Brier KG4AKV and Tucker McGuire W4FS. At 18\nyears old, Tucker is a relatively new ham who first started operating \nsatellites\nlast summer, and quickly jumped into the deep end. John’s been around\nlonger, but ham radio satellites and space operation captured his focus, \ntoo.\nHe produces videos about it on his YouTube channel, Space Comms.\n\nGary talked to John and Tucker after they completed their second demo,\nand he edited a little of each demo into the interview.\n\nThere’s video of all of both demonstrations on YouTube. John shot himself\noperating through ‘Saudi-Sat’ SO-50, a “Mode J” FM crossband repeater\n(145.850 MHz uplink and 436.795 MHz downlink). John used three cameras\n(including a GoPro on a headband for a unique view). Gary edited the video\nand put it on the HamRadioNow YouTube channel as an extra bit if video.\n\nGary added two more cameras to the mix to shoot Tucker operating through\nFO-29, a Japanese satellite that uses a 100 kHz wide ‘linear \ntransponder’ for\nmostly SSB and CW (and NO FM, please) between two meters and 70 cm.\nThere’s a few minutes of that demo in this episode, and the whole thing is\non John’s Space Comms channel.\n\nWatch HRN 316: Look!

A large string of attenuators\nsimulated the path loss to low Earth orbit, while the VHF telemetry \nconfirmed\nthe level of signal received at the ‘spacecraft antenna’ and that the \ncommands\nhad been executed correctly.\n\nWith the lab and range testing declared a success, work now begins on\nconstructing the Flight Model hardware. This is due for delivery by the \nmiddle of\nthe summer so that it can be integrated into the 50 kg microsat. ESEO is\nexpected to be launched late this year or in the first quarter of 2018.\n\nESEO satellite\nhttps://amsat-uk.org/satellites/communications/eseo/\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nARSATC Satellite Special Events Station From Brazil\n\n\nIn celebration of its two-year anniversary, the ARSATC group will\nactivate the ZV8AR, ZZ3SA, and ZZ9TC stations.\n\nRadio amateurs from Brazil and other countries who confirm contact\nwith ARSATC special stations, in which the suffixes of each special\ncall will form the word ARSATC, will be entitled to a commemorative\ncertificate alluding to the event.\n\nBetween May 1 and 30, 2017, the special calls will be activated on\nthe SO-50, AO-85, FO-29, AO-73, AO-7 and Lapan -02 satellites.\n\nThe confirmation will be through the Eqsl, Lotw or QRZ and sent to\nthe email:\[email protected]\n\nPrepare your antennas for good contacts.\n\nhttp://arsatc.org/ (in Portuguese, use google translate)\n\n\n[ANS thanks Valdir Lima and arsatc.org for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nISS Commander Peggy Whitson, ex-KC5ZTD, Sets New US Record for\nTime in Space\n\n\nCurrent International Space Station (ISS) Commander Peggy Whitson,\nex-KC5ZTD, this week broke the record for cumulative time spent in space\nby a US astronaut. President Donald Trump -- with daughter Ivanka Trump\nand astronaut Kate Rubins, KG5FYJ, joining him in the Oval Office -- called\nWhitson on April 24 to congratulate her on her accomplishment. With Whitson\nfor the call on board the ISS was astronaut Jack Fischer, KG5FYH, who \narrived\non April 20 for his first mission aboard ISS.\n\n\"Peggy is a phenomenal role model for young women, and all Americans, who\nare exploring or participating in STEM education programs and careers,\"\nPresident Trump said. \"When I signed the INSPIRE Women Act in February, \nI did\nso to ensure more women have access to STEM education and careers, and to\nensure America continues to benefit from the contributions of \ntrailblazers like\nPeggy.\"\n\nWhitson tweeted back, \"Thank you, Mr. President, for the great \nopportunity to\nhighlight the research we are doing up here aboard the space station and \nbeyond!\"\n\nLast November, Whitson, 57, launched to the ISS on her current mission, \nwith\n377 days in space already under her belt, and broke the 534 cumulative-day\nrecord in space held by Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ. Whitson became the first \nwoman\nto command the space station in 2008, and on April 9, she became the first\nwoman to command it twice. She also holds the record for most spacewalks\nby a female astronaut.\n\n\"This is an inspirational record Peggy is setting today, and she would \nbe the\nfirst to tell you this is a record that's absolutely made to be broken \nas we\nadvance our knowledge and existence as both Americans and humans,\"\nsaid NASA acting Administrator Robert Lightfoot.\n\nThis is Whitson's third long-duration stay on board the space station, and\nher mission was recently extended for another 3 months. Instead of\nreturning to Earth in June as originally planned, Whitson will remain on \nthe\nISS until September, returning home with Fischer and Russian cosmonaut\nFyodor Yurchikhin, RN3FI.\n\nWhitson first served aboard the ISS in 2002 as part of the Expedition 5 \ncrew,\nwas the Expedition 16 commander some 5 years later, and has conducted\nnumerous Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contacts\n  with students on Earth.\nWhitson has since let her Amateur Radio license lapse.\n\n\n[ANS thanks the ARRL and NASA for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.
