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* Editor's Note:\n* US ARISS Proposal Window Remains Open Through April 15, 2017\n* First Moon Bounce using Opera\n* NEON - NASA Educators Online Network - ANNOUNCEMENTS\n* Cubesat Developers Workshop 2017\n* ARISS News\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-071.02\nANS-071 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 071.02\n>From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\nMarch 12, 2017\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-071.02\n\n\n\nEditor's Note:\n\nTodays ANS was sent missing content, as I am sure most who read it\nobserved. This is a re-bublication of the Bulletin including its full\ncontact.\nI apologize for any problems.\n\nEMike, AA8EM\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nUS ARISS Proposal Window Remains Open Through April 15, 2017\n\nMessage to US Educators Amateur Radio on the International Space\nStation Contact Opportunity\n\nCall for Proposals\nProposal Window February 15 – April 15, 2017\n\nThe Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program\nis seeking formal and informal education institutions and\norganizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur\nRadio contact with a crew member on board the ISS.  ARISS anticipates\nthat the contact would be held between January 1, 2018 and June 30,\n2018. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact\ndates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is\nlooking for organizations that will draw large numbers of\nparticipants and integrate the contact into a well-developed\neducation plan.\n\nThe deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2017.  Proposal\ninformation and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-\nariss-contact.\n\nThe Opportunity\nCrew members aboard the International Space Station will participate\nin scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are\napproximately 10 minutes in length and allow students to interact\nwith the astronauts through a question-and-answer session.\n\nAn ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via\nAmateur Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space\nstation and classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford\neducation audiences the opportunity to learn firsthand from\nastronauts what it is like to live and work in space and to learn\nabout space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will have an\nopportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless\ntechnology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human\nspaceflight and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the\nISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate\nchanges in dates and times of the radio contact.\n\nAmateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space\nagencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational\nopportunity by providing the equipment and operational support to\nenable direct communication between crew on the ISS and students\naround the world via Amateur Radio. In the US, the program is managed\nby AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) and ARRL (American\nRadio Relay League) in partnership with NASA and CASIS (Center for\nthe Advancement of Science in Space).\n\nMore Information\nInterested parties can find more information about the program at\nwww.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.\n\nFor proposal information and more details such as expectations,\nproposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of\nInformation Sessions go to\nhttp://www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.\n\nPlease direct any questions to ariss at arrl.org.\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nFirst Moon Bounce using Opera\n\nOn Tuesday, March 7, Luis EA5DOM and Jose EA3HMJ made a test using\nthe amateur radio weak-signal data mode Opera for 1296 MHz Moon\nBounce (EME)\n\nLuis EA5DOM posted the following:\n\nWe are both using an small 180cm offset dish. Jose is 400w, so he\nwas transmitting and I was trying to decode. The trace was visible\nbut too weak for an Op05 decode. So tried Op1 switching band to\n70MHz. After some trying we got one decode at -24dB\n\n2017-03-07 23:31:17  EA3HMJ  JN11AN  EA5DOM  IM98WN\n381  70.093  -  23  Op1__~24dB\n\nSwitched to Op2 and tried some times without success. I was getting\nproblems to keep an accurate tracking, so the signal was not optimal\nand close to the decoding limit\n\nWe will keep testing, But at least one decode was worth the effort.\n\nHere is EA5DOM screenshot:\nhttp://tinyurl.com/ANS071-EA5Dom-Screenshot\n\nAnd EA3HMJ Screenshot:\nhttp://tinyurl.com/ANS071-EA3HMJ-Screenshot\n\nYou can download Opera from\nhttps://rosmodem.wordpress.com/\n\n[ANS thanks Southgate ARN for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nNEON - NASA Educators Online Network - ANNOUNCEMENTS\n\nFree STEM Education Webinars From NASA Educator Professional\nDevelopment\n\nAudience: In-service, Pre-service, Home School and Informal Educators\n\nThe NASA STEM Educator Professional Development Collaborative (EPDC)\nat Texas State University is presenting a series of free webinars\nopen to all educators.
