It was the first ever\nARISS contact from the European island nation of Malta.\n\nThe ISS crew member, astronaut Josh Cassada, KI5CRH, used the ISS callsign\nOR4ISS on the downlink frequency of 145.800 MHz. The ARISS team Malta made\nuse of the callsign 9H1MRL, the club call of the Malta Amateur Radio League\n(MARL).\n\nThe signal was receivable in the British Isles and across Europe. The\ncontact was conducted by five local radio amateurs; Dominic Azzopardi,\n9H1M, Manuel Grech, 9H1GW, Andrew Vella, 9H2AV, Trevor Sammut, 9H5TS and\nAnthony Scicluna, 9H2AS. The station was set up in the school’s auditorium\nwith a 10 element crossed Yagi and rotator on the roof.\n\nStella Maris College is part of a network (La Salle Malta) of Lasallian\nColleges that include De La Salle College and the Mellieha Retreat Centre.\nThe schools take their inspiration from their founder, John Baptist de la\nSalle. In the Christian faith, John De La Salle is venerated as the Patron\nSaint of Teachers. La Salle Malta was founded as a single school in 1903 by\nthe Brothers of the Christian Schools and is now the La Salle Malta’s\nLasallian Colleges, run by the Malta Trust of the Brothers of the Christian\nSchools.\n\nStella Maris College hosted this ARISS contact for participating students\nin grades 5 through 10 (ages 9-15 years). Stella Maris College has\npartnered with members of the Malta Amateur Radio League (MARL) (9H1MRL)\nwho provided support during the ARISS contact. Members of MARL have also\nmade presentations to students about amateur radio, and demonstrated\nsatellite tracking and talking to other hams through amateur radio\nsatellites.\n\nAs a member of MARL, Stella Maris College has previously operated their own\namateur radio station. Members of other organizations that are also part of\neducational activities surrounding this ARISS contact include; the\nUniversity of Malta, the Malta College for Science and Technology, Malta\nCouncil for Science and Technology and Malta College for Arts, Science and\nTechnology.\n\nBasically, a Lasallian School has the following characteristics:\nA) respect for each student as a unique person.\nB) A strong spirit of Community.\nC) A school of Quality.\nD) A school that embraces everyone.\nE) Shows special preference for persons who are considered poor\nfinancially, morally, physically, psychologically.\n\nMission statement:\nOur school is a place where everyone strives to create and nurture a\nholistic, inclusive and well-ordered learning climate thereby ensuring a\nhigh-quality, values-based academic preparation.\n\nThe school has an astronomical observatory and electronics forms part of\nthe school curriculum.\n\nThe whole event was streamed live, and archived on YouTube at the following\nURL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk-Onkbr6PY&t=15s\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS and AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n           The 2023 AMSAT President's Club coins are here now!\n   To commemorate the 40th anniversary of its launch\non June 16, 1983, this year's coin features\nan image of AMSAT-OSCAR 10.\n Join the AMSAT President's Club today and help\nKeep Amateur Radio in Space!\n https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club/\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nAMSAT Engineering Recruiting Volunteers\n\n+ RF Engineer\nAMSAT is looking for an EE with RF experience to join its FOX-PLUS team.\nYou'll collaborate with an all-volunteer team of up to ten electrical,\nmechanical, software and systems engineers.  You will have the opportunity\nto design and build the RF communications subsystems for a series of low\nearth orbit, 1U-3U CubeSats to support AMSAT's educational and engineering\nobjectives.\n\nYou should have a working knowledge of analog and digital communications\nprotocols (e.g., FM, PSK, FSK) to provide digitally synthesized audio for\nFM modulated VHF/UHF/SHF voice and telemetry channels. Development\nopportunities can begin with modification of previous FOX designs and/or by\nstarting with a blank sheet for an original design.\n\n+ Mechanical Engineers\nAMSAT is looking for Mechanical Engineers to join its FOX and GOLF CubeSat\nteams.  You'll collaborate with an all-volunteer team of up to 12\nelectrical, mechanical, software and systems engineers.  You will have the\nopportunity to use your structural design and analysis skills in the\ndevelopment of a series of low earth orbit and highly elliptical orbit,\n1U-3U  CubeSats to support AMSAT's educational and engineering objectives.\n\nYour contribution may include a) the development of the spaceframe and\ndeployable solar panel subsystem, b) the analysis of the thermal\ncharacteristics of the CubeSat  and the design of the thermal management\nsystem, c) preparation and oversight of the environmental testing\nprocedure, and/or d) management of documentation of the CubeSats adherence\nto the launch provider's and space vehicle owner's specifications.\n\nOur volunteers typically spend five hours per week on their project and\nattend a weekly online update meeting. An Amateur Radio license and CubeSat\nexperience is helpful but not necessary.  U.S. citizenship or proof of\npermanent residency is required.\n\nInterested persons should send an email with their resume/curriculum vitae\nto: [email protected].\n\n[ANS thanks Jonathan Brandenburg, KF5IDY, AMSAT Assistant VP, Engineering\nfor the above information.]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n     Need new satellite antennas?

The Station will be set up in the middle of the historic OTC\nbuildings between the Casgrain Horn used during Apollo 11 and the large 30m\nDish.\n\nThe station will have FM satellite capability and intends to organize\ncontacts with Australian and Indonesian amateurs, hopefully via the ISS\nrepeater and AO91 if they are operating at that time.\n\nAlso near the station site is the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum.\nBuzz Aldrin opened the museum in June, 2012, so the NASA connection will\nresonate through the event at which many hundreds of visitors are expected\nto attend daily.\n\n[ANS thanks Dan Sutton, VK6NAD, for the above information]\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nCrew-6 Launch Slips\n\nNASA has delayed the launch of a commercial crew mission to the\nInternational Space Station by a day to give SpaceX additional time to\ncomplete work on the vehicle. The crew will include three licensed amateur\nradio operators for a six-month stay on the ISS.\n\nAt a briefing after a flight readiness review for the Crew-6 mission Feb.\n21, NASA announced it has rescheduled the launch of the Crew Dragon\nspacecraft to Feb. 27 at 1:45 a.m. Eastern. The Falcon 9 launch of the\nspacecraft had been planned for Feb. 26.\n\nThe Crew-6 launch will carry two NASA astronauts, Mission Commander Stephen\nBowen, KI5BKB, and Pilot Warren \"Woody\" Hoburg, KB3HTZ, along with UAE\n(United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, KI5VTV, and Roscosmos\ncosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who will serve as mission specialists to the\nspace station for a science expedition mission.\n\nIf the launch slips again, there is another launch opportunity Feb. 28 at\n1:22 a.m. Eastern, followed by three opportunities March 2 through 4.\n\n[ANS thanks SpaceNews for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n    Want to fly the colors on your own grid expedition?\n            Get your AMSAT car flag and other neat stuff\n                    from our Zazzle store!\n        25% of the purchase price of each product goes\n            towards Keeping Amateur Radio in Space\n              https://www.zazzle.com/amsat_gear\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nChanges to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for 23 February\n\nTwo Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps\nin the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical\nmodel of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly\nupdates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin\nfiles are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if\nnew high interest satellites are launched.
