AMSAT VP of\nEngineering, Jery Buxton N0JY turned over operation to Mark Hammond\nN8MH and AMSAT Operations in a QSO on the AO-91 repeater during the\npass over the Eastern U.S.\n\nN8MH responded and declared AO-91 open for amateur use!\n\n[ANS thanks AO-91 Ops Team for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nFox-1B/AO-91 Facts\n\nName(s): AO-91 Fox-1B (RadFxSat)\nNASA catalog number: TBD\nLaunch: Not Earlier Than 21 Sept 2017\nNASA ElaNa XIV Mission\nJPSS-1 Delta II, Vandenberg AFB, CA\nOrbit: LEO (Low Earth Orbit)\nInclination: 97.6908 (Assuming it is Object 43016)\nEccentricity: 0259769 (Assuming it is Object 43016)\nPeriod: Approx. 95 minutes\nEstimated orbital lifetime: 5+ years\nSize: 10 x 10 x 10 cm (4 inch cube)\nWeight: 1.3 kg (~3 pounds)\nTransmit power: 400 mW (Minimum)\nDownlink: 145.960 MHz FM voice\nAFSK digital data up to 9600 bps\nUplink: 435.250 MHz FM voice (67.0 Hz CTCSS tone)\n\n>From a communications standpoint Fox-1B has two major changes from\nAO-85. First, it will fly with a more sophisticated power control\nsystem which utilizes a Maximum Power Point Tracker to insure optimum\ncharging of the batteries under all illuminations. This will be\nlargely transparent to the typical user but will significantly\nincrease the available battery life. Second, the detection of the\n67.0 Hz tone has been enhanced, which will also help accommodate\nground stations whose CTCSS tones may be slightly off frequency. The\ncombination will make accessing the satellite easier and also\ndecrease the likelihood of dropouts.\n\nDoppler Shift Correction for Fox-1B\n\nCorrecting for Doppler shift will involve the same techniques as for\nAO-85, with slightly\ndifferent frequencies to prevent mutual spacecraft interference:\nReceive Frequency Transmit Frequency\n (67.0 Hz Tone)\nSatellite Position\n145.960 MHz 435.240 MHz (Mem #1) AOS\n145.960 MHz 435.245 MHz (Mem #2) Approaching\n145.960 MHz 435.250 MHz (Mem #3) Passing\n145.960 MHz 435.255 MHz (Mem #4) Departing\n145.960 MHz 435.260 MHz (Mem #5) LOS\n\nNote that the AFC on the receiver may be working hinting that making\nthe above adjustments may not be necessary. AMSAT VP of Engineering\nJerry Buxton N0JY states \"... in ground testing with Fox-1A. We\ncould be +/- 10 kHz and not even know it (that's how it was tested,\none guy programmed the wrong frequency in his HT).\" He adds the\ncaveat,\n\"One station on the uplink is not the same situation as real life\nthough.\"\n\nFox-1B Telemetry\n\nSubaudible Telemetry\nExcept for a different downlink frequency, the low speed subaudible\ntelemetry will be the same as for AO-85. It will be supported by the\nsame FoxTelem software released for AO-85.\n\nHigh Speed AFSK telemetry\nThere are no experiments on Fox-1B which will require the use of\nhigh speed telemetry.\n\n[ANS thanks \"Getting Started With Amateur Satellites 2107\" By G.\n Gould Smith WA4SXM and Friends and other sources for the above\n information.]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSpecial AMSAT Membership Offer Celebrating RadFxSat/AO-91\nLaunch/Commissioning\n\nAs part of the preparations for the launch of RadFxSat on November\n10th and the successful commissioning of AO-91 (RadFx/Fox-1B)opening\nit for Amateur use on November 23, AMSAT is making our “Getting\nStarted With Amateur Satellites” book available for a limited time\nas a download with any paid new or renewal membership purchased via\nthe AMSAT Store. This offer is only available with purchases\ncompleted online, and for only a limited time. A perennial favorite,\nGetting Started is updated every year with the latest amateur\nsatellite information, and is the premier primer of satellite\noperation. The 182 page book is presented in PDF format, in full\ncolor, and covers all aspects of making your first contacts on a ham\nradio satellite.\n\nPlease take advantage of this offer today by visiting the AMSAT store\nat https://www.amsat.org/shop/ and selecting any membership option.\nWhile there, check out our other items, including the M2 LEOpack\nantenna system, Arrow antennas, AMSAT shirts, and other swag.\n\nThank you, and hear you soon on RadFxSat!\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nFUNcube-1 Celebrates 4th Anniversary\n\nNovember 21st 2017, marked the fourth aniversary for FUNcube-1 in\norbit.\n\nFUNcube-1 was launched at 07:10 UTC on November 21st 2013 and its\nfirst signals were received immediately after deployment over the\nIndian Ocean by amateurs in South Africa. Since then it has been\noperating continuously in either its education mode or, with the\ntransponder active, in amateur mode when in eclipse and at weekends.\n\nThe spacecraft has spent the four years in space orbiting the earth\nat between 640 and 580 km and has now travelled around the earth more\nthan 20,000 times. That represents a distance travelled of\napproaching 500 million miles.\n\nUp to now, each of the orbits has been spilt approximately 65% in\nsunlight and 35% in eclipse. This has resulted in the temperatures\ninside the small spacecraft varying by about 25o C during each orbit.\n\nDuring the recent AMSAT Colloquium, Wouter, PA3WEG, during his\npresentation about the FUNcube project mentioned that the power\navailable from the solar panels has been slowly increasing since\nlaunch. This observation led the team to do some further\ninvestigations as to the cause.\n\nAlthough the launch was into a nominally Sun Synchronous orbit, over\ntime this has drifted and the spacecraft is now entering a period\nwhen it will be in the sun for longer periods during each orbit.\n\nThe exact details are still being determined, but it seems likely\nthat, starting from January 2018, there will be periods when the\nspacecraft will be in the sun for all, or almost all, of its orbits.\nOf course, this means that the on-board temperatures will be much\nhigher than we have previously experienced in flight, although we\nhave some test records from pre-flight thermal air testing that were\nundertaken after integration.\n\nThe key will be to discover what the equilibrium temperature will be\ninternally. For comparison, AO85 has already \"enjoyed\" periods of\nfull sun and its internal temperatures have reached up to around 55o\nC.\n\nSo the next few months will be quite an exciting time for the team!\nWe remain extremely grateful to everyone is using the spacecraft for\nboth its educational and amateur missions. Of course we are also very\nvery grateful to those who are downloading the telemetry and\nuploading the data to the Data Warehouse. It continues to provide a\nunique record of \"life on board\" a 1U CubeSat in space.\n\nFUNcube-1 / AO-73 details\n\nTLM down link freq 145.935 MHz BPSK\n\nTransponder:\nNominal Uplink 435.150 - 435.130 MHz LSB (Inverting) The passband\nmay be up to 15kHz higher depending on on-board temps.

EcAMSat is being developed through a partnership between\nNASA’s Ames Research Center and the Stanford University School of\nMedicine. Dr. A.C. Matin is the Stanford University Principal\nInvestigator.\n\nEcAMSAT was deployed from the ISS on November 20, 2017.\n\nEcAMSat will investigate spaceflight effects on bacterial antibiotic\nresistance and its genetic basis. Bacterial antibiotic resistance may\npose a danger to astronauts in microgravity, where the immune response\nis weakened. Scientists believe that the results of this experiment\ncould help design effective countermeasures to protect astronauts’\nhealth during long-duration human space missions.\n\nOperating at 437.100 MHz FM, the EcAMSat beacon sends an AX.25 packet\nevery 5 seconds, similar to the format of the GeneSat-1, PharmaSat,\nO/OREOS, and SporeSat beacons; the packet contains data about the\nspacecraft systems operation.\n\nA tracking screen, mission information, and mission status are dis-\nplayed on the EcAMSat Mission Dashboard: http://ecamsat.engr.scu.edu/\nLinks to beacon decoding and packet uploading instructions are also\nincluded on the Dashboard.\n\nAn example of the EcAMSat QSL card is displayed at:\nhttps://yc3bvg.blogspot.com/2017/11/ecamsat-qsl-cards.html\n\n[ANS thanks the EcAMSat Team and NASA for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nMAI-75 SSTV Over Moscow from ISS Planned for December 6-8\n\nThe MAI-75 folks have scheduled some SSTV activity during specific\nperiods\neach day from Dec 6-8.

It is\ncurrently sailing from Algiers to Morocco where it will load cargo.\nThe plan is to sail to a USA port in the Gulf to be determined.\n\nThere are quite a few ships named Seahorse. The MMSI number is\n538007572.\n\nYuri is using the Elk antenna but only has RG58 coax feeding it.\nEven so he reports working K3SZH on AO-7 today. If he doesn't find\ncoax in Morocco, perhaps we can get some coax to him when he arrives\nin a USA port. So he is likely to do better on a Mode B satellite\nrather than one with a UHF downlink. He has keps for AO-91, AO-85\nand CAS-4B.\n\nPlease wait for a while before sending your logsheets. He will\nlikely be able to mail qsl's when he docks in the USA.\n\n[ANS thanks John K8YSE for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSupport AMSAT on Cyber Monday\n\nWith Cyber Monday approaching, please keep AMSAT in mind while making\npurchases on Amazon.com through AmazonSmile.

Next week we will\ncontinue with the normal TLE distribution on each Thursday of the\nweek. Note that, per comments below, AO-91 is most likely object 43016.\n\nIt appears that AO-91 is in the group of cubesats launched on 11-18-\n17 that include objects 43016, 43017, and 43018. The object 43015\nthat we were using for AO-91 has separated enough to be confirmed as\nBuccaneer RRM by 18th Space Control Squadron at Vandenburg AFB, CA.\nOne of 18 SPCS many missions is launch analysis.\n\nTherefore, based analysis (by Nico Janssen, (PA0DLO) and discussion\nby Alan Biddle (WA4SCA), Jerry Buxton (N0JY), Nico Janssen (PA0DLO),\nPaul Stoetzer (N8HM) and myself AO-91 is most likely object 43016.\nNote that these objects are still very close together and one more\nchange could be needed. The process of identification is one of\nwaiting for a group of objects to separate enough to isolate the one\nyou are interested in and positively identify it's signal as matching\na certain TLE set. Simple, right!\n\nFor comparison, Buccaneer (object 43015, not AO-91) is now at least\n26 seconds from objects 43016, 43017, and 43018. Objects 43016,\n43017, and 43018 are still about 2 seconds apart.
