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* BOD Ballots Must be Recieved by September 15\n* ISS SSTV received on SUWS WebSDR\n* Send your message “from the Moon”\n* Contract to Build Es’hailSat Includes AMSAT-DL Phase 4\n    Transponders\n* Chicago Media Coverage St. Joan of Arc School ARISS Contact\n* AMSAT Events\n* ARISS News\n* Satellite Shorts From All Over\n\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-257.01\nANS-257 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 257.01\n >From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.\nDATE September 14, 2014\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-257.01\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nBOD Ballots Must be Received by September 15\n\n\nThere is still time to vote but remember that Board of Directors\nballots must be received at the AMSAT Office by 15 SEP 2014 in order\nto be counted. Your returned ballot should be sent promptly, and\nthose from outside North American preferably by air mail or other\nexpedited means.\n\nNormally there would be 3 full Board seats open this year, plus 2\nalternates. However, with the passing of Tony Monteiro, AA2TX (SK),\nthere will be an additional full Board seat open to fill the\nremainder of his term. This means that the top three recipients of\nvotes will have two-year terms, the fourth most vote recipient\nserving as full member for one year. The fifth and sixth highest\nvote recipients will serve as first and second Alternate,\nrespectively. You may vote for up to 4 individuals.\n\nElection of board members is both an obligation as well as an\nopportunity by our membership to help shape the future direction of\nAMSAT-NA. Please take the time to review the candidate statements\nthat accompany the ballot and determine who you wish to see on the\nBoard.\n\n\n[ANS thanks the AMSAT Office for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nISS SSTV received on SUWS WebSDR\n\n\nOn Saturday, September 6, at 1000 GMT Paulo PV8DX emailed the news\nthat the International Space Station (ISS) Slow Scan Television\n(SSTV) on 145.800 MHz FM had been active again.\n\nAt the end of the passage (ISS) in northern Brazil where I live. I\nheard the sound of early SSTV. So I went to the WEBSDR in your area\n[the SUWS WebSDR near London, UK] and I got two images.\n\nThe ISS has been transmitting photographs devoted to the life and\nwork of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. They were sent in the PD180\nSSTV mode with additional voice commentary.\n\nOn August 27, 2014 a test of the ISS Slow Scan Television (SSTV)\nexperiment MAI-75 using the Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver and a new\ncable took place. Although a carrier was successfully transmitted on\n145.800 MHz no SSTV audio tones were heard. It appears that the\nearlier problem has now been rectified.\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2014/08/23/iss-sstv-august-27/\n\nThe Kenwood TM-D710 was delivered to the ISS in the summer of 2012.\nThe original TM-D700 in the Russian ISS Service Module had been\nexperiencing problems with the PA after giving many years service in\nspace, see ARISS minutes for March 2013. It is thought the Kenwood TM-\nD710 is set to run at just 5 watts output because convection cooling\ndoesn’t work in zero gravity.\nhttp://www.ariss.org/meeting-minutes/archives/03-2013\n\nDavid Barber G8OQW received some good images in Chelmsford, Essex\nwhich can be seen on the AMSAT-UK Facebook page.\n\nListen to the ISS and amateur radio satellites online using the SUWS\nVHF/UHF/Microwave WebSDR\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2014/08/15/suws-websdr-moves-to-new-site/\n\nISS Fan Club provides status and tracking information\nhttp://issfanclub.com/\n\nHow to hear the ISS\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/beginners/how-to-hear-the-iss/\n\nPaul Turner G4IJE, co-developer of the SSTV PD modes, says regarding\nthe PD180 mode: “Don’t forget to either enable “Always show RX\nviewer” or use the “Picture viewer” (magnifying glass icon) to show\nthe picture at its real resolution of 640 x 496. If you just view as\nnormal you will only see 320 x 248 resolution, which kind of defeats\nthe object of using a high resolution mode.”\n\nTony Falla VK3KKP commented “I received a good picture from ISS on\nmy iPad mid-Saturday evening [AEDT] on 145.800 MHz just using the\nmicrophone next to the rig.”\n\nThe APRS digipeater in the European Space Agency ISS Columbus module\ncontinued to be in operation on 145.825 MHz during the SSTV\ntransmissions.\n\nAll you need to do to receive SSTV pictures direct from the space\nstation is to connect the audio output of a scanner or amateur radio\ntransceiver via a simple interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC\nor an Apple iOS device, and tune in to 145.800 MHz FM. You can even\nreceive pictures by holding an iPhone next to the radio’s loudspeaker.\n\nThe ISS puts out a strong signal on 145.800 MHz FM and a 2m handheld\nwith a 1/4 wave antenna will be enough to receive it. The FM\ntransmission uses the 5 kHz deviation which is standard in much of\nthe world.\n\nMany FM rigs can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM\nfilters. For best results you should select the wider deviation\nfilters. Handhelds all seem to have a single wide filter fitted as\nstandard.\n\nOn Windows PC’s the free application MMSSTV can be used to decode\nthe signal, on Apple iOS devices you can use the SSTV app. The ISS\nFan Club website will show you when the space station is in range.\n\nFor more on Slow Scan Television SSTV, see this article SSTV – The\nBasics\nhttp://www.essexham.co.uk/sstv-the-basics\n\nHow to be successful with the ISS Slow Scan Television (SSTV)\nimaging system\nhttp://www.marexmg.org/fileshtml/howtoisssstv.html\n\nFree MMSSTV Slow Scan TV software\nhttp://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php\n\niOS SSTV App\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sstv/id387910013\n\nIZ8BLY Vox Recoder, enables you to record the signals from the ISS\non 145.800 MHz while you’re away at work\nhttp://antoninoporcino.xoom.it/VoxRecorder/\n\nARISS Slow Scan TV (SSTV) Blog and Gallery\nhttp://ariss-sstv.blogspot.co.uk/\n\nInformation on the MAI-75 SSTV experiment\nhttp://www.energia.ru/eng/iss/researches/education-26.html\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSend your message “from the Moon”\n\n\nThe LuxSpace 4M amateur radio payload is expected to fly around the\nMoon at the end of October and you can upload a message to the 4M\nwebsite that will be transmitted on 145.980 MHz using JT65B during\nthe flight.\n\nThere is room for 2500 messages each up to 13 characters long. Your\nmessage could be your name/callsign or “73 de M5AKA”.\n\nDuring the lunar flyby, the spacecraft will be about 399,636 km from\nEarth. The LuxSpace team wish to encourage radio amateurs around the\nworld to receive the transmissions and send in data. There will be a\nnumber of Experiments and Contests with prizes to the winners in each\nexperiment and category. Details are given on page 19 of 4M Mission:\na Lunar FlyBy experiment.\n\n4M stands for Manfred Memorial Moon Mission in memory of Professor\nManfred Fuchs, founder and chairman of OHB group, Bremen, who passed\naway on April 27, 2014.\n\nRegister and Upload your message at\nhttp://moon.luxspace.lu/messages/\n\n4M Mission: a Lunar FlyBy experiment\nhttps://ukamsat.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/lxs-4m-eme2014-a4-v3.pdf\n\nFurther information on this project is at\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2014/09/01/4m-lunar-payload/\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nContract to Build Es’hailSat Includes AMSAT-DL Phase 4 Transponders\n\n\n\nGunter Krebs reports on his Space Pages on the web that Es'hailSat has\nsigned a contract with MELCO to build the Es'hail-2 geostationary\ncomsat.\n\nEs'hail 2 is a planned communication satellite operated by\nEs’hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company. It will also feature an\nradio amateur payload.\n\nThe new satellite will be positioned at the 26° East hotspot\nposition for TV broadcasting and significantly adds to the company’s\nability to provide high quality, premium DTH television content\nacross the Middle East and North Africa. It will feature Ku-band and\nKa-band transponders to provide TV distribution and government\nservices to strategic stakeholders and commercial customers who\nvalue broadcasting and communications independence, interference\nresilience, quality of service and wide geographical coverage.\nEs’hail 2 is expected to be launched at the end of 2016.\n\nIn September 2014, a contract with MELCO was signed to build the\nsatellite based on the DS-2000 bus.\n\nEs'hail 2 will also provide the first Amateur Radio geostationary\ncommunication capability linking Brazil and India. It will carry two\n\"Phase 4\" Amateur Radio transponders. The payload will consist of a\n250 kHz linear transponder intended for conventional analogue\noperations in addition to another transponder which will have an\n8 MHz bandwidth. The latter transponder is intended for experimental\ndigital modulation schemes and DVB amateur television. The uplinks\nwill be in the 2.400-2.450 GHz and the downlinks in the\n10.450-10.500 GHz amateur satellite service allocations.\nBoth transponders will have broad beam antennas to provide full\ncoverage over about third of the earth’s surface. The Qatar Amateur\nRadio Society andQatar Satellite Company are cooperating on the\namateur radio project.\nAMSAT-DL is providing technical support to the project.\n\nThis story is posted at:\nhttp://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/eshail-2.htm\n\n\n[ANS thanks Gunter's Space Pages for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nChicago Media Coverage St. Joan of Arc School ARISS Contact\n\n\nHere is a link to local Chicagoland coverage of the St. Joan of Arc\nARISS contact:\n\nhttp://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/09/08/students-at-lisle-school-chat-\nwith-astronaut-aboard-international-space-station\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-NA for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.

We are a group\nof schools with a common goal: Learn, Lead, Succeed. We are comprised\nof one special needs preschool (The Buice School), three elementary\nschools (Sugar Hill Elementary, Sycamore Elementary, White Oak\nElementary), one middle school (Lanier Middle), and one high school\n(Lanier High). Our schools are located in the greater Atlanta metro\narea in the largest school district in Georgia. Our schools and\ncluster are named after nearby Lake Lanier, which part of the\nChattahoochee River system.\n\nOur schools strive to create authentic learning environments for our\nstudents. Towards that end, our elementary schools, Lanier Middle,\nand Lanier High have project based learning programs for students. At\nLanier High, students choose to be a part of a school within a school\n(academy model) as we guide students towards career and college\nreadiness. Lanier High was also recently certified as a Georgia STEM\nhigh school, the only all-inclusive, traditional high school in\nGeorgia that has received this STEM certification.\n\nOur students are excited about science and space exploration. They\nhave participated in regional and state science fairs, designed an\nexperiment flown in microgravity, and chatted with a NASA Earth\nscientist live on NASA TV. They have presented at conferences,\nparticipated in robotics and app challenge events, and even won an\nEmmy for work on a 3D computer animation for a PBS documentary. The\nstudents of Lanier Cluster are excited to be a part of this ARISS\ncontact!\n\nSeptember 8, 2014\n\nA direct contact with students at St. Joan of Arc  School, Lisle,\nIL, USA via K9LEZ  was successful  at 18:34:45 UTC 84 deg.
