This should \r\nensure future operations for the upcoming 2022/2023 over-wintering crew.\r\nSecuring the operation: Since the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 over-wintering \r\nteam, radio contacts with Antarctica via the first amateur geostationary \r\nradio satellite Qatar-OSCAR 100 / QO-100 (Es’hail-2) enjoy the greatest \r\npopularity. AMSAT-DL provided the appropriate radio equipment for DP0GVN \r\nat Neumayer Station III, covering all costs for setup and provision of \r\nthe required radio equipment and antenna. While amateur radio operations \r\nmostly take place during free time, contacts with schools have also been \r\narranged on a regular basis. Similar to ARISS (Amateur Radio on the \r\nInternational Space Station), such contacts in Antarctica are also \r\nsomething very special for the students. This will certainly also arouse \r\ninterest in scientific or technical professions and, last but not least, \r\namateur radio.\r\nDuring the night of 13/14 August 2021, one of the strongest storms at \r\nNeumayer Station III measured average wind speeds of 176 km/h and even \r\nmore than 207 km/h at peak. This did not remain without consequences and \r\nso among other things the satellite antenna for QO-100 was damaged so \r\nstrongly that with it no more radio operation was possible. DP0GVN via \r\nQO-100 so unfortunately QRT until further notice.\r\nAMSAT-DL therefore decided at short notice to build a new antenna and to \r\ndeliver it in less than 2 months construction time in the middle of \r\nOctober for the ship transport to Antarctica. The antenna has now \r\narrived there safely and was immediately transported from the ship at \r\nthe ice edge to Neumayer Station III. The next step is to hoist the \r\nantenna onto the roof of the station by crane and rewire everything. As \r\nthe team on site has a huge work program at the moment, it can certainly \r\ntake a few more days and weeks to get DP0GVN up and running via QO-100. \r\nPatience is requested until then, but all stars are aligned for a \r\nsuccessful 2022 with DP0GVN !!!\r\n\r\n(ANS thanks Peter Gulzow, DB2OS, President, AMSAT-DL for the above \r\ninformation)\r\n\r\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\r\n\r\n      Need new satellite antennas?

During its \r\nflight, the rocket performed a unique sawtooth maneuver, rotating back \r\nand forth 30° to protect JSWT’s instruments from overheating due to \r\ndirect solar illumination (as opposed to Apollo’s ‘BBQ roll’). After \r\nrelease, the spacecraft deployed its solar array—here’s a video, which \r\nlikely includes the final close proximity image of the craft.
