Chris Burns writes: \"I guess our friend AO-109 must have been\njust waiting for us to open it up for amateur use before sending some\ntelemetry :-)\nSeriously, thanks to SatNogs, we found some telemetry that was recorded on\nMay 10 just after we cranked up the modulator gain. In addition, a SatNogs\nobservation today, July 21, also shows signs of weak telemetry.\nWe'd appreciate it if anyone who has a station that can receive telemetry,\nespecially stations with good gain and tracking ability, could listen for\nAO-109 telemetry on 435.750. If FoxTelem is all you have that's great, but\nif you also have some way to capture the signal in a file (say IQ recording\nin HDSDR) that would be even better. Chances are the signal is weak enough\nthat it might need some teasing by our experts before we can get any info\nout of it.\nI'll also schedule some SatNogs observations, and anyone who has a SatNogs\nstation with similar characteristics (gain antenna etc), please schedule\nsome of your own over the next few days!\"\n\nChris Thompson, AC2CZ/G0KLA adds: \"But, let me remind everyone that the\nprize and glory for receiving and decoding the first telemetry is still\navailable. I could partially decode the data that Mark supplied by turning\noff the Forward Error Correction and decoding the bytes between the sync\nwords - errors and all. It is quite a challenge to receive decodable frames\nbut it is surely possible. See if you can be the first to post decoded\nframes. If you are not set up to decode frames but have a good recording,\nthen send it to me and I will attempt to decode it. The prize will be yours\nall the same.\n\nAs an example, the ITR waterfall is just not quite decodable:\nhttps://network.satnogs.org/observations/4453728/. But it is close. If you\ncan do better than that then the prize could be yours.\n\nMark Jessop, VK5QI, also provides the following: \"I've scheduled more\nobservations on the ITR ground station, which is not usually schedulable by\nmost SatNOGS users (the station is in testing).\nThe ITR station is using a large ZCG-Scalar Cross-Yagi, phased for RHCP.\nGain is approx 14 dBd. A picture of the station is here:\nhttps://network-satnogs.freetls.fastly.net/media/ground_stations/20170911_14\n0358.jpg.

NASAs Near-Earth Asteroid\nScout mission, or NEA Scout, is a 6U CubeSat with an 86 m2 aluminized\npolymer solar sail planned to launch on Artemis I (e.g. probably very late\nthis year or early next). The entire craft and sail weigh less than 14 kg.\nThe mission will spend two years sailing on solar photon pressure (and\nadjusting course with cold gas thrusters) to reach 1991 VG, a very small\nNEA, and will then characterize the asteroids physical properties during a\nslow flyby (10-20 m/s; paper). If successful, the mission may be extended to\nanother asteroid. Further out, NASA plans to launch Solar Cruiser in 2025 to\nthe Earth-Sun L1 point where it will use the largest solar sail ever flown\n(1,650 m2, with built-in reflection control devices at the sails corners\nfor attitude adjustments), to explore a novel orbit: Solar Cruiser will fly\nbeyond L1 and use a solar sail to make its own artificial orbit closer to\nthe Sun, but still on a straight line between the Sun and Earth as Earth\nrevolves around the Sun. Only a solar sail can provide the forces necessary\nto maintain such an otherwise unstable orbit, since doing so requires\nconstant fuel. This is a testbed for future, even more ambitious missions.\n\n[ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information] \n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n10th annual NASA Space Apps Challenge\n\nRegistration is open for the 10th annual NASA Space Apps Challenge.
