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* AMSAT-NA Office Closed on Monday February 15th for President's Day Holiday\n* W1AW/4 Orlando Hamcation Demo\n* Japanese Ham Radio Satellite Launch Postponed\n* Old Dominion University OPEN HOUSE for local Middle and High Schools\n* Orlando Hamcation Satellite Demos Scheduled\n* ARISS UK release full video of Tim Peake and RMS contact\n* AMSAT Events\n* ARISS News\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-045.01\nANS-045 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 045.01\n >From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\nDATE February 14, 2016\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-045.01\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT-NA Office Closed on Monday February 15th for President's Day Holiday\n\n\nThe AMSAT Office will be closed on Monday, February 15th in observance of\nPresidents' Day.\n\n\n[ANS thanks Martha for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nW1AW/4 Orlando Hamcation Demo\n\n\nThanks to everyone who called in to work K8YSE portable\nat the Orlando Hamcation.  We had a great time working\neveryone on SO-50 and FO-29.  The crowds were big and the\nweather outside was sunny and warm\n\nAlthough there was a lot of interest in seeing\nour station, 9 year old Hope, KM4IPF operating\nW1AW/4 on SO-50 definitely stole the show.\n\nBefore the pass I watched her pull the compass out\nof a bag and tell her father where to point the antenna\nat AOS and where it would finish up at LOS.  She used\ntwo HT's for the operation.  Dad held the antenna for\nher as she made contact after contact.  She had a crowd\naround her and we had the IC910 set up about 40' away\nand our crowd was listening to her on our setup.  Steve,\nN9IP, was the antenna man at our station.  Near the end of\nthe pass I called her on the 910H and got a confirmation\nfrom W1AW/4!  We had a signal path hundreds of miles long\nbut were only 40' apart!\n\nRick WA4NVM provided a recording of the pass and it is up\non my website:\nhttp://www.papays.com/sat/general.html\n\nFrank K9CIS also sent in some recordings of our\nFO-29 passes which I'll put on the website later.\nAnyone needing confirmation of a Hamcation contact with\nK8YSE on LOTW, just send me the QSO details\nand I'll upload it.  I can also do a QSL card on\nrequest.\n\nThere is nothing like a good demo to generate interest\nin satellites.  Just set up a station and the crows\nstarts gathering.  Thanks to everyone who helped\nwith the effort.\n\n\n[ANS thanks John, K8YSE for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nJapanese Ham Radio Satellite Launch Postponed\n\n\nChubuSat-2, ChubuSat-3 and Horyu-4 were expected to launch on Friday,\nFebruary 12 into a 575 km, 31 degree inclination orbit.

Founded in 1788 with the purpose of educating the\ndaughters of Freemasons who were unable to support their families, it is \none\nof the oldest girls' schools in the country. We attract girls aged 4-18 \nfrom\nacross Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London and boarders from \nall\nover the world. We also have a Pre School for boys and girls aged 2 to \n4. Our\nethos is both aspirational and nurturing and our girls strive to be the \nvery\nbest they can be, academically, morally and creatively. Our public \nexamination\nresults are consistently impressive and each year around 90% of girls leave\nRMS to take up places at University. Life at RMS is centered on much \nmore than\n\"just\" academic success and the School is well known for its exceptional\npastoral care, and the wealth of extra-curricular opportunities it offers -\nincluding Astronomy as we are one of very few schools in the UK to have our\nown planetarium and observatory!\n\n\nUpcoming Contacts\n\nOasis Academy Brightstowe, Bristol, UK, direct via GB1OAB\nThe ISS  callsign is presently scheduled to be GB1SS\nThe scheduled astronaut is  Timothy Peake KG5BVI\nContact is a go for: Fri 2016-02-19 14:23:23 UTC 78  deg\n\nUAH Space Hardware Club, Huntsville, Alabama, direct via K4UAH\nThe ISS  callsign is presently scheduled to be NA1SS\nThe scheduled astronaut is Tim  Kopra KE5UDN\nContact is a go for: Fri 2016-02-19 17:20:14 UTC 72 deg\n\nThe Space Hardware Club at the University of Alabama in Huntsville is an\nengineering club of students that builds balloon payloads, satellites and\nrockets outside of their regular classes. The club has been working on this\ncontact for over a year. After deciding to focus on 8th grade students, we\nreached out to Discovery Middle School, Westlawn Middle School, and the\nTennessee Valley Homeschool 4-H group – all from the northern Alabama area.\nThe students from Westlawn have been part of Project Lead The Way for 2 \nyears\nnow and have been exposed to robotics, modeling, and 3d printing. The \nstudents\nfrom the homeschool group all have a passion for STEM, a love of \nlearning and\nbeing challenged, and are bubbling with excitement for this opportunity \nof a\nlifetime. There are two STEM II classes from Discovery Middle School that\nroutinely rise to the expectations of their accelerated STEM focused\ncurriculum. By the time of the contact, the students will have learned \nabout\nthe ISS, the astronauts and some of the experiments aboard, and amateur \nradio.\nAll of the students and club members involved are passionate about this\nopportunity, and thank you for your time.\n\n\nWatch\nhttp://www.ariss.org/upcoming-contacts.html\nfor information about upcoming contacts as they are scheduled.\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS, and Charlie, AJ9N for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSatellite Shorts From All Over\n\n\nAustin, Texas Students to Speak to Space Station Astronaut\n\nStudents from the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) charter schools in \nAustin,\nTexas will have the opportunity to speak with a NASA astronaut currently\nliving and working on the International Space Station at 11:55 a.m. EST on\nTuesday, Feb. 16.

The last 7 states he needs are:\n\nKansas\nMaine\nNew Jersey\nNew York\nRhode Island\nWashington\nWest Virginia\n\nOmar is in grid DK89df, if that helps in making calculations on possible\npasses that he can work. His e-mail address on QRZ is good, so you can\ncontact him directly if you are able to help him get his satellite WAS\naward. He is also on Twitter as @XE1AO, but his Twitter feed is not open\nto the public. He's received a few suggestions to get a couple of these\nstates taken care of, so hopefully he can finally reach that goal.\n\n[ANS thanks Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK/VA7EWK, AMSAT Director for Field\nOperations for the above information]\n\n\n6D0F Special Call\n\nDavid Maciel XE3DX will work the special prefix 6D0F, for the apostolic\njourney of his holiness pope Francis to Mexico.\n\nTimes include:\nThursday  11 February 2016 18:00 UTC\nThursday, 18 February 2016 18:59 UTC\n\nDavid will work from grid EK36, Chiapas, on only FM satellites SO-50 and\nAO-85.\n\nThe QSL Manager is XE1LM.\nVisit\nhttps://www.qrz.com/lookup/6d0f/\nhttp://www.qsl.net/xe3dx/\n\n[ANS thanks David Maciel, XE3DX for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n/EX\n\nIn addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the\nPresident's Club.
