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* Help Requested to Monitor for Signals From Chinese Lunar Sats\n* Updates to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution\n* Digital Communications Conference (DCC) Call for Papers\n* Invitation to the 2018 NASA AAQ Workshop - September 7, 2018\n* China Microsatellite Symposium 2018\n* 25 Year Archive of Keplerian Elements Now on AMSAT Web Site\n* Satellite Shorts\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-147.01\nANS-147 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 147.01\n From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\nDATE May 27, 2018\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-147.01\n\nHelp Requested to Monitor for Signals From Chinese Lunar Sats\n\nAfter their launch on 2018-05-20 at 21:28 UTC, LJ 1 and LJ 2 were\nmaneuvered onto a track to the Moon. Several amateurs received\ntelemetry from the satellites. But now LJ 1 appears to encounter\nproblems.\n\nQuoting Wei BG2BHC:\n\"Can you help to find amateurs in the US to help to monitor DSLWP-A on \n435.425\nand 436.425 now? We lost the contact of satellite A on S band after an \norbit\nadjustment. We just tried to switch on UHF, but we don't know if it \nworks or\nnot.\n\nIf operating, 435.425 MHz should be 500bps GMSK and JT4 alternately.\n436.425 MHz should be 250 bps GMSK. Both transmit once in 5 minutes.\n\nLONGJIANG 1 - NORAD CAT ID 43471\nLONGJIANG 2 - NORAD CAT ID 43472\n\n[Nico, PA0DLO, for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nUpdates to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution\n\nThe Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has announced that three\ncubesat carrying Amateur Radio payloads were deployed from the ISS on May 11\nat around 1030 UTC. See AMSAT News Service bulletin ANS-133 for details.\n\nThe following cubesats have been added to this week's AMSAT-NA TLE\ndistribution and are designated by Space-Track as follows:\n\n1KUNS-PF (Kenya)- NORAD CAT ID 43466 (a 3U cubesat with a 1200 bps or 9600\nbps telemetry beacon at 437.300 MHz)\n\nUBAKUSAT (Turkey)- NORAD CAT ID 43467 (a 3U cubesat with a CW beacon at\n437.225 MHz, a telemetry beacon at 435.325 MHZ, and a linear transponder\nwith a 435.200 - 435.250 MHz downlink / 145.940 - 145.990 MHz uplink)\n\nIrazu (Costa Rica) - NORAD CAT ID 43468 (a 1U cubesat with a 9600 bps\ntelemetry beacon at 436.500 MHz)\n\nNico Janssen (PA0DLO) reminds us that it is still too early to tell if the\nabove CAT ID's are correct for each object. There may be changes.\n\n[ANS thanks Ray, WA5QGD, for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nDigital Communications Conference (DCC) Call for Papers\n\nTechnical papers are solicited for presentation at the ARRL and TAPR\nDigital Communications Conference (DCC) and publication in the\nConference Proceedings.

The National Weather\n Service’s National Hurricane Center confirms 70% potential for a\n tropical depression to form in the next five days with potential to move\n into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Rainfall predicted to hit the\n Louisiana coast combined with additional moisture from the potential\n depression would inhibit safe access to the operating location. The new\n dates for the expedition are June 7-9, 2018.\n\nAMSAT Vice President Engineering, Jerry Buxton, N0JY has made his\n Engineering presentation at the 2018 Dayton Hamvention AMSAT forum\n available on-line: http://amsat.us/?p=189 There is a PDF version\n for viewing, and the original pptx version.
