Test images will be used during this period. This\nwill provide near global coverage if all works well.\n\nThe MAI-75 schedule over Moscow remains unchanged at this point.\nThe times correlate to a small number of passes each day in range\nof Moscow.\n\nDec 6, 2017\nSetup and power on – 13:40-14:20 UTC\nPower off – 17:05-17:15 UTC\n\nDec 7, 2017\nPower on – 13:45-13:55 UTC\nPower off – 17:30-17:40 UTC\n\nDec 8, 2017\nPower on – 14:05-14:15 UTC\n\nPower off and stow – 17:00-17:10 UTC\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSoyuz Launch Anomaly Results in Loss of D-Star ONE Cubesat\n\nA new Russian weather observatory and the first prototype for Telesat’s \nplanned\nnetwork of 100-plus broadband communications satellites in low Earth \norbit were\namong 19 spacecraft lost after a Fregat rocket stage ran into trouble \nsoon after\nliftoff aboard a Soyuz booster Tuesday.\n\nThe Fregat rocket pack was supposed to place the 19 satellites into four\ndifferent orbits Tuesday in a four-hour flight sequence following launch \non a\nSoyuz rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, a new spaceport in the Amur \nregion\nof Russia’s Far East.\n\nA report published by Russia’s Interfax news agency Tuesday quoted a Russian\nspace industry source who attributed the apparent failure to human \nerror. The\nsource said a mistake uploaded to the Fregat’s flight computer caused \nthe upper\nstage to be in the wrong orientation for the main engine’s first burn, \nwhich was\nscheduled to last 77 seconds to reach a temporary parking orbit a few \nhundred\nmiles above Earth.\n\nBilled as the first German commercial CubeSat, the D-Star One spacecraft had\nfour communications modules on-board, two of which were to be used by the\namateur radio community. Developed by German Orbital Systems in Berlin in\ncooperation with the Czech company iSky Technology, officials hope to build\nfollow-on satellites to construct a low Earth orbit communications network.\n\n[ANS thanks SpaceFlightNow for the above information\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT-SM Supports ARISS With New Donation\n\nAMSAT-SM is proud to announce a donation to ARISS (via AMSAT-NA) of\n$285. We hope that this small donation will help ARISS further work\nwith amateur radio from ISS.\n\nAMSAT-SM is the Swedish section of AMSAT with approximately 220 members. \nOne of\ntheir objectives is to inform Swedish hams about the fun with amateur\nsatellites! Not many SM hams are active via satellite at the moment. \nWith the\nhelp from our Swedish webpage and HF-net we hope that more Swedish hams \nshould\nbe using amateur satellites. The AMSAT-SM annual meeting is held every \nspring.\nSome weeks on Sundays we have a HF-net on 80 meters with lots of news about\nsatellites and space.\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-SM for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nIARU Frequency Coordination for China's Juvenile 3U Cubesats\n\nThe IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Status pages,\nhosted by AMSAT-UK as a service to the world wide Amateur Satel-\nlite Community, report on an updated coordination for the Juvenile\nproject from China.\n\nJuvenile is a 3U CubeSat project led by China Soong Ching Ling\nYouth Science and Culture Center for school education and amateur\nradio.\n\nThe amateur radio station onboard will provide telecommand, tele-\nmetry and FM repeater functions:\n\n1.
