ANS \nreports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur \nRadio operators who share an active interest in designing, \nbuilding, launching and communicating through analog and \ndigital Amateur Radio satellites.\n\nPlease send any amateur satellite news or reports to:\n\[email protected]\n\n\nIn this edition:\n* Ares I-X Completes a Successful Flight Test\n* Call for Papers\n* 500th School Contact\n* LUSAT-1 Silent\n* ARISS Status\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-305.01\nAres I-X Completes a Successful Flight Test\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 305.01\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 1, 2009\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-305.01\n\nAres I-X Completes a Successful Flight Test\nNASA's Ares I-X test rocket lifted off Oct. 28, 2009, \nat 11:30 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center in \nFlorida for a two-minute powered flight. The flight \ntest lasted about six minutes from its launch from the \nnewly modified Launch Complex 39B until splashdown of \nthe rocket's booster stage nearly 150 miles downrange. \n\nThe 327-foot-tall Ares I-X test vehicle produced 2.6 \nmillion pounds of thrust to accelerate the rocket to \nnearly 3 g's and Mach 4.76, just shy of hypersonic \nspeed. It capped its easterly flight at a suborbital \naltitude of 150,000 feet after the separation of its \nfirst stage, a four-segment solid rocket booster. \n\nParachutes deployed for recovery of the booster and the \nsolid rocket motor, which were recovered at sea and will \nbe towed back to Florida by the booster recovery ship, \nFreedom Star, for later inspection. The simulated upper \nstage and Orion crew module, and the launch abort \nsystem will not be recovered. \n\nThe flight test is expected to provide NASA with an \nenormous amount of data that will be used to improve \nthe design and safety of the next generation of \nAmerican spaceflight vehicles, which could again \ntake humans beyond low Earth orbit. \n\n[ANS thanks NASA for this info]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-305.02\nCall for Papers\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 305.02\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nNovember 1, 2009\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-305.02\n\n\nCall for Papers 14th Annual Southeastern VHF Society Conference \nApril 23rd and 24th, 2010 Morehead State University in Morehead, \nKentucky.\n\nThe Southeastern VHF Society is calling for the submission of papers \nand presentations for the upcoming 14th Annual Southeastern VHF \nSociety Conference to be held at Morehead State University in Morehead, \nKY on April 23rd and 24th, 2010.
