Earlier this year, it was removed from\ntemporary storage, and engineers equipped it with experiment racks\nand orbital hardware. After a break over the summer, workers will\ncontinue preparing it for launch. If all goes well, it will blast\ninto space atop the space shuttle Atlantis as early as December 6th,\n2007 on the STS-122 Shuttle Flight.\n\nAlso aboard Columbus will be amateur radio equipment to support a\nlinear transponder with an L-band uplink and S-band downlink.\n\nESA information on the Columbus Space Laboratory can be found at:\nhttp://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMJY2HYX3F_index_0.html.\n\n[ANS thanks ESA and Universe Today for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-210.02\nAMSAT-UK Colloquim News\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 210.02\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nJuly 29, 2007\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-210.02\n\nSatellite News From 2007 AMSAT-UK Space Colloquium\n\nGood news about interesting amateur satellite projects has\nbeen released upon the conclusion of the 2007 AMSAT-UK\nSpace Colloquium.\n\nAmateur Radio satellite Delfi-C3 video available\nhttp://www.southgatearc.org/news/july2007/delfi_c3_video.htm\n\nAMSAT-OZ Satellite on a PCB - AMSAT-UK Colloquium Paper\nand PowerPoints at http://wiki.amsat.dk/\n\nP3E Update\nhttp://www.southgatearc.org/news/july2007/p3e_update.htm\n\nThe UK to get it's first Cubesat?\nhttp://www.southgatearc.org/news/july2007/uk_cubesat.htm\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK and Trevor, M5AKA for the above information]\n\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-210.03\nAO-51 Features SSB Uplink to FM Downlink Experiment\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 210.03\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nJuly 29, 2007\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-210.03\n\nAO-51 Features SSB Uplink to FM Downlink Experiment\n\nOn July 24 AO-51 controllers enabled the satellite's SQRX\nreceiver to allow for operation utilizing a 145.880 MHz SSB\nuplink with an FM downlink on 435.300 MHz. This experiment\nalso caused changes in the way that telemetry is handled.\nGould, WA4SXM, AO-51 Command Station described the config-\nuration, \"I turned off Transmitter A last night when I\nswitched modes as the schedule did not include the telemetry\ndownlink. If I use the SQRX receiver, then I need to decrease\nthe transmitter power for the batteries to make it through\neclipse.\" In the meantime AO-51 was collecting telemetry,\nbut not transmitting telemetry.\n\nAlan, WA4SCA was active on the new mode and wrote, \"It is\nvery obvious who has computer control of the radio. Intel-\nligibility is as with any of the passband birds, except on\nAO-51 you fall completely out of the passband quickly. In\nthis mode the RX is relatively sensitive, but I did need a\nbeam to get a good uplink, though my output was only 1-2\nwatts.\"\n\nIn the period between July 27-July 31, controllers returned\nAO-51 into its V/U FM Repeater mode with the uplink on 145.920\nMHz and downlink on 435.300 MHz. 9k6 telemetry transmission\nwas re-enabled on 435.150 MHz.\n\n[ANS thanks Gould, WA4SXM and Alan, WA4SCA for the above\n information]\n\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-210.04\nAO-7 Log Page\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 210.04\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nJuly 29, 2007\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-210.04\n\nAO-7 Log Page\n\nJohn, LA2QAA, AO-7 Resource Web Page Administrator, reminds users\nthat the AO-7 log page (http://www.planetemily.com/ao7/ao7log.php)\nremains operational.

Anderson answered the children’s 20 questions which had\nbeen prepared for the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station\n(ARISS) event, and with extra time available, he answered an additional\n13 posed to him by the 10 patients. An ARISS team member gave a\npresentation to the children covering amateur radio and the ARISS\nprogram. The audio was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and JK1ZRW\n(277 208) servers, and into the IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010. Twenty\nconnections were made to EchoLink, of which 7 were repeaters, from 8\ncountries, including the Czech Republic and Croatia. Central Florida\nNews, Channel 13, ran a story with video on the event. See:\nhttp://www.cfnews13.com/Health/YourHealth/2007/7/18/sick_kids_get_special_talk_with_astronaut.html\n\n2.\tUpcoming School Contacts\n\nThe Challenger Learning Center of Lucas County, in Oregon, Ohio has been\nscheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station\n(ARISS) contact on Wednesday, July 25 at 11:38 UTC. The center has a\nscience lab that is used for the summer camp programs, and schools from\nnorthwest Ohio and southeast Michigan participate in the programs which\nreach approximately 3000 students each year. The audio from this event\nwill be fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and JK1ZRW (277 208)\nservers, as well as being fed into the IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010.\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has\nbeen planned for the 21st World Scout Jamboree in Chelmsford, England. A\nSpecial Event Station, GB100J, will operate at the Jamboree from July 27\nto August 8, 2007. Approximately 40,000 scouts from 200 countries are\nexpected to attend this event. The audio will be broadcast on the\nJamboree FM Radio Station and will be webcast on the radio station’s\nwebsite. It will also be fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and\nJK1ZRW (277 208) servers, but it is unlikely that it will be fed into\nthe IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010. The contact will take place on\nSaturday, August 4 at 21:10 UTC.\n\n3.\tARISS International Team Meeting Held\n\nAn Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)\nInternational Team teleconference was held on Tuesday, July 17. Agenda\nitems covered included the ARISS Kenwood and Ericsson radio systems and\nSuitSat-2 status. Minutes have been posted to the ARISS website.
