These spacecraft are\neligible for placement on a launch manifest after final negotiations, \ndepending\non the availability of a flight opportunity.\n\nTJREVERB is a CubeSat from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and\nTechnology, in Alexandria, Virginia. This satellite will include an \nAMSAT Fox\nmode U/v FM radio system, and will be capable of serving as an analog FM\nrepeater.\n\nHuskySat-1 from the University of Washington in Seattle will carry a \nmode V/u\nlinear transponder and 1200 baud BPSK beacon similar to RadFXsat-2.

This radio will replace the\nEricsson radio that failed a few months ago. The VHF radio is used for\nschool group contacts and amateur packet radio in the Columbus module. Once\nthe Dragon vehicle is berthed to ISS, the Ericsson will be unstowed and, at\nsome point, installed in Columbus, replacing the UHF radio that is now\nsupporting APRS packet and some school contacts.\n\nThe unmanned cargo ship packed with food and supplies for astronauts \narrived\nsafely at the International Space Station Thursday, 2/23/2017. The Dragon\ncargo ship was grabbed by the station's robotic arm at 5:44 am (1044 GMT).\n\nOur thanks to SpaceX on an outstanding and historic flight from Kennedy\nSpace Center's Launch Pad 39A, where many Space Shuttle missions and nearly\nall the Apollo moon missions were launched. We also would like to thank our\nARISS benefactors-NASA and CASIS, the Center for the Advancement of Science\nin Space. And, of course, our amateur radio long-time sponsors-our national\namateur radio organizations around the world, including the American Radio\nRelay League (ARRL) in the US, and our international AMSAT organizations,\nincluding AMSAT-NA.\n\nARISS is also making great progress on the development of the new\ninteroperable radio system that we hope to use to replace our aging radio\ninfrastructure in the Columbus module and the Service module. The hard\n(and expensive) part of this effort is just beginning, with testing and\nhuman certification on the horizon. We thank all that have donated to the\ncause thus far. We hope you continue to help ARISS move forward through\nyour support, including your volunteer time and talent and, of course,\nfinancial contributions through the AMSAT web site donate button.\n\n\n[ANS thanks Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, ARISS International Chair, AMSAT-NA V.P.\nfor Human Spaceflight for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nVEGA Flight Opportunity for Multiple Small Satellites\n\n\nEurope’s Vega small launcher is set to demonstrate its extended \ncapability to\ndeploy multiple light satellites using its new versatile Small Satellites\nMission Service (SSMS) dispenser, in the second half of 2018.\n\nThis demonstration provides the first of the launch opportunities under the\nnew Light satellite, Low-cost Launch opportunity (LLLor L3) Initiative\ninitiated at the ESA Council Meeting at Ministerial Level in December \n2016 with\nthe aim to provide low-cost and regular launch services for European\nInstitutional light satellites through full exploitation of the Ariane 6 and\nVega C launch systems’ capabilities.\n\nThis first proof-of-concept flight using the current Vega launch system will\ndemonstrate and validate standard innovative services for light satellites.\n\nThe SSMS dispenser with its modular design enables Vega to provide launch\nopportunities for light satellites with an overall mass ranging from 1 kg\nCubeSats up to 400 kg minisats with different alternative configurations and\nrelevant combinations under a ‘rideshare’ concept.\n\nPotential customers, be they European public-sector organizations or other\nentities, are invited to respond to the joint ESA and European Commission\nAnnouncement of Opportunity, which can be downloaded together with its\nquestionnaire, by 31 March.\nhttp://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Launchers/Vega_flight_opportunity_for_\nmultiple_small_satellites\n(including links for the application process due by March 31)\n\n\n[ANS thanks the European Space Agency for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSatellite Changes in AMSAT Keplerian Element Distribution\n\n\nThe following five satellites/object numbers have been deleted:\n\nSATELLITE NORAD CAT ID REASON\nBY70-1 41909 Deorbit 2-18-2017\nOBJECT 41930 41930 Not Amateur Sat-ISS Launch\nEGG 41933 Not Amateur Sat-ISS Launch\nOBJECT 41934 41934 Not Amateur Sat-ISS Launch\nTuPOD 41936 41936 Batteries Dead-ISS Launch\nThanks to Nico Janssen for his work in predicting BY70-1's deorbit.\n\nAs noted last week, Nayif-1 was launched with 103 other satellites\non 2-15-2017.

ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held\nbetween January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Crew scheduling and ISS \norbits will\ndetermine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact\nopportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large\nnumbers of\nparticipants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education\nplan.\n\nThe deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2017. Proposal information\nand documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.\n\nThe Opportunity\nCrew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in\nscheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are \napproximately 10\nminutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts \nthrough\na question-and-answer session.\n\nAn ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur\nRadio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and\nclassrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the\nopportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and\nwork in\nspace and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students \nalso\nwill have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless\ntechnology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human \nspaceflight and\nthe complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must\ndemonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of the\nradio contact.\n\nAmateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space agencies in\nRussia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational opportunity by\nproviding the equipment and operational support to enable direct\ncommunication between crew on the ISS and students around the world via\nAmateur Radio.\nIn the US, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite\nCorporation) and ARRL (American Radio Relay League) in partnership with NASA\nand CASIS (Center for the 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, proposal\nguidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information \nSessions go\nto http://www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.\nPlease direct any questions to [email protected].\n\n****************************************************************************\n\nARISS is always glad to receive listener reports for the above contacts.\nARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance.
