Tim holds the call sign KG5BVI and is expected to use the\nspecial call GB1SS from the amateur radio station in the Columbus module \nof the\nISS.\n\nTim will launch to the ISS in December of this year and will spend 6 months\nworking and living in space. The Amateur Radio competition is a \ncollaboration\nbetween the UK Space Agency, the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) \nand the\nEuropean Space Agency (ESA).\n\nSelected schools will host a direct link-up with the ISS during a two-day,\nspace related STEM workshop which will be the culmination of a large \nrange of\nlearning activities using space as a context for teaching throughout the\ncurriculum.\n\nARISS UK (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) will provide and\nset up all necessary radio equipment such as low earth orbit satellite \ntracking\nantennas and radios, to establishing a fully functional, direct radio \nlink with\nthe ISS from the schools’ very own premises. In a ten-minute window when the\nISS will be over the UK, an amateur radio contact will be established \nwith Tim,\nand students will be able to ask him questions about his life and work \non board\nthe ISS.\n\nOwing to the nature of scheduling the links, which is dependent on \ngeography,\nthe exact orbit of the ISS and the crew schedules, the exact dates and times\nfor possible links will not be known until 2 weeks before the link up is\nscheduled. The shortlisted schools will all be prepared for such scheduling\nchallenges and, by having a number of schools, we can ensure that all \nlinks are\nused.\n\nJeremy Curtis, Head of Education at the UK Space Agency, said:\nWe’re delighted with the amount of interest in this exciting project and\nlook forward to working with the selected schools as they make a call into\nspace.\n\nBoth Tim’s space mission and amateur radio have the power to inspire young\npeople and encourage them into STEM subjects. By bringing them together \nwe can\nboost their reach and give young people around the UK the chance to be \ninvolved\nin a space mission and a hands-on project that will teach them new skills.\n\nThe following schools have been shortlisted for a possible ARISS call \nwith Tim\nwhilst he is in orbit on the ISS:\n\n     Ashfield Primary School, Otley, West Yorkshire\n     The Derby High School, Derby\n     The Kings School, Ottery St Mary\n     Norwich School, Norwich\n     Oasis Academy Brightstowe, Bristol\n     Powys Secondary Schools Joint, Powys\n     Royal Masonic School for Girls, Rickmansworth\n     Sandringham School, St Albans\n     St Richard’s Catholic College, Bexhill-on-Sea\n     Wellesley House School, Broadstairs\n\nJohn Gould, G3WKL, President of the RSGB, said:\nThe Radio Society of Great Britain will be delighted to support\nshortlisted schools by teaching their pupils about amateur radio and helping\nthem through their licence exams where appropriate. Members of our Youth\nCommittee are based across the UK and will be keen to visit the chosen \nschools\nin their area and chat to the pupils.\n\nThe ARISS UK Operations team will now work with the shortlisted schools to\nprepare them for this exceptional opportunity during the mission of the \nfirst\nBritish ESA Astronaut.\n\nARISS Europe http://www.ariss-eu.org/\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS and AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSA AMSAT Kletskous Solar Cell Purchase\n\n\nSA AMSAT made a significant investment in the KLETSKOUS project by placing\nan order for solar cells with an overseas supplier. The solar cells will be\nused to build the first prototype solar panels for testing with the power\nunit.\n\nThe electrical power system (EPS) is the sub-system that provides various\nother systems and the payload with power, and controls the charging and\nconditioning of the batteries. The first prototype was tested with panels\nborrowed from the Denel Dynamic CubeSat project. \"We are looking forward to\nbuilding our own panels to meet the physical dimension requirements of the\nspace frame,\" Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP, said. Fritz Sutherland, ZS6FSJ, who\nbuilt the prototype, which he showed at the recently held SA AMSAT Space\nSymposium, designed the EPS. Both Hannes Coetzee and Frik Wolff, ZS6FZ, who\nrecently joined the project team, will build the solar panels.\n\nThe Kletskous project is funded by donations from radio amateurs.

Thus, we would like to point out the great\nopportunity to further disseminate your scientific results as selected best\ncontributions will be invited for paper publication in a conference\nproceedings in the IAA book series on Small Satellites.\n\nIf you want to take the opportunity to present your current progress in the\nfield of pico- and nano-satellites please do not forget to submit your\npresentation abstract by sending an email to\[email protected]\nuntil July 20, 2015.\n\nFor more information and latest updates about the workshop please visit our\nwebsite:\n\nhttp://www7.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/conferences/pina2015/\n\n\n[ANS thanks the PiNa Team for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nInternational Space Colloquium Guildford – Speakers for Saturday, July 25\n\n\nThere is a great line up of speakers for the AMSAT-UK International Space\nColloquium at the Holiday Inn, Guildford as well as visits to the satellite\nconstruction facilities at the SSTL Kepler Building. The event is open \nto all.\nAdmittance is £10 for the day and car parking is free.\n\nSpeakers for Saturday, July 25\n\n• Introduction by Prof. Sir Martin Sweeting G3YJO OBE, FRS, FREng, FIET\n• SSTL Update by Tony Holt, Director, SSTL\n• The Satellite Applications Catapult PocketQube Kit by Chris Brunskill\n• AMSAT-DL Presention by Peter Guelzow DB2OS\n• What else does Space do for You! by Prof. Richard Holdaway, former \nDirector\n   RAL Space\n• The Nayif-1 opportunity by Wouter Weggelaar PA3WEG\n• AMSAT-NA / Fox-1 Presentation by Drew Glassbrenner KO4MA\n• Dutch Satellite Days by Ivo Klinkert PA1IVO\n\nFurther details at\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/colloquium/\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nDuchifat1 Updates\n\n\nDuchifat1, launched 1 year ago, was supposed to have onboard a \"standard\"\nspace APRS transceiver operating on 145.825MHz.  That would have made the\nsatellite compatible with ISS, other APRS satellites and APRS-IS.\n\nUnfortunately, a short time before launch, we realized that technically we\ncouldn't keep the intended 145.825MHz transceiver in the final satellite\nconfiguration but we still wanted to make some contribution to amateur \nradio in\nspace.   After a quick research we discovered that the 2nd transceiver \nonboard\nDuchifat1, the ISIS (Netherlands) TRXUV planned for Duchifat1's command and\ntelemetry can be programmed to also accept APRS packets!, however, \nlimited to\n14 characters long.  Also, the downlink digital modulation was not the \ncommon\nspace APRS of 1200bd AFSK but 1200bd BPSK, and the uplink frequency is \nin the\nUHF band.\n\nWe therefore came with the idea of supporting COMPRESSED APRS, and \ninstead of\nthe standard digipeater, we implement kind of \"store&forward\" function \nin which\nthe satellite collects packets during its flight in orbit and the \nstudents of\nHerzliya Science Center will download those packets and display them on \na world\nmap in a web site programmed by them.\n\nWe published here a few weeks ago the opening of this service and put in our\nweb site detailed instructions on how to use the Byonics TinyTrak4 (TT4)\ntracker, with or without GPS to generate packets in the required format that\nDuchifat1 will accept.  So far, TWO pioneers used this service. THANKS \nPETER &\nMIKE!\n\nWhile the TT4 solution is still the best we know for sending your actual \nlive\nposition to Duchifat1, we are happy to announce the 'APRS Encoder', a \nnew tool\nin our web site that can generate for you the COMPRESSED APRS packet for\nDuchifat1.\n\nThe input for the new APRS Encoder is the station's (or nearby) coordinates\nset that can be obtained from Google Maps, so this solution is naturally\nadequate for stationary base stations, while mobile stations should \nstill use\nthe Byonics TT4.\n\nThe output of the APRS Encoder is a 14 character long Compressed APRS packet\nthat can be converted to 1200bd AFSK with a hardware TNC or software \nlike MIXW\n– just copy the 14 chars string and paste it into the MIXW window. The MIXW\nshould be set to mode Packet, using the most common \"VHF 1200 baud (Standard\n1200/2200Hz)\" setting.  Prior registration is required.\n\nAll the details on the satellite, the registration and the APRS Encoder \nare at\nthis link:\nwww.h-space-lab.org\nPlease read all the documentation in the site.\n\nWe wish you all good luck and enjoy!\n\n73 from 4X4HSC team: instructors 4Z1WS and 4X1DG, and the students!\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-BB and AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAmateur Radio Geostationary Transponder and the Adventures of a Hacker \nTurned\nHam\n\n\nHamRadioNow episode 211 features two presentations given at the TAPR/AMSAT\nbanquet on Friday, May 15 at the 2015 Dayton Hamvention. The first is \nabout the\nAmateur Radio transponder on the geostationary satellite Es’hail 2 by \nThani Ali\nal-Malki followed by Adventures of a Hacker Turned Ham by Michael Ossmann\nAD0NR.\n\nThe night begins with a short presentation on what will be the first Amateur\nRadio transponder on a geostationary satellite, a project of the Qatar \nAmateur\nRadio Society, with help from AMSAT DL (Germany). The satellite, \nEs’HailSAT-2,\nis owned by the Qatar Satellite Company, and senior engineer Thani Ali \nal-Malki\nwill give the details. Western Hemisphere hams will be disappointed that the\nsatellite footprint won’t cover anything in North America or Australia, and\njust a bit of South America. The satellite is primarily a communications \nsystem\nfor Qatar and the Middle East, but the ham transponder will also cover \nEurope,\nAfrica and western Asia (but also missing the China coast and Japan).\n\nMichael Ossmann, AD0NR, founder of Great Scott Gadgets grew up as a computer\nnerd embracing the hacker ethos. Eventually Michael became very \ninterested in\nthe security of wireless systems such as remote keyless entry, garage door\nopeners, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. He designed Ubertooth One, a Bluetooth \nsniffer\nthat was successfully funded on Kickstarter.\n\nNot one to rest, Michael later designed and successfully funded HackRF \nOne, an\nopen source SDR platform that attracted the attention of the amateur radio\ncommunity. Michael talks about his unique perspective on the community as an\noutsider looking in, why he resisted getting an amateur radio license for\nyears, and why he finally decided to join. Michael shares his thoughts \non what\nit means to be a hacker, what it means to be a ham, and what amateur \nradio may\nlook like in the decades to come.\n\nTAPR President Steve Bible N7HPR‘s introduction establishes the youth theme\nwith an interesting survey of the crowd.\n\nhttp://arvideonews.com/hrn/HRN_Episode_0211.html\n\nPrevious editions of HamRadioNow\nhttp://www.youtube.com/user/HamRadioNow/videos\n\nEs’hail 2 geostationary satellite\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/satellites/geosynchronous/eshail-2/\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.

How is your perspective of Earth different from ours who have not \nbeen to\n    space?\n3. What has been your most exciting and memorable experience during your \ntime\n    on the International space station?\n4. As you don't have gravity in the Space Station, and nothing drops or \ndrips\n    down, what happens to a scoop of ice cream in space when it melts? \nOnce it\n    has melted, can you suck it up with a straw? Have you ever tried that?\n5. What happens to fire in space?\n6. What do you eat when in space?\n7. What happens if an astronaut gets sick in space?  Do they have a \ndoctor on\n    board? If not, do they have to go back to Earth early for treatment?\n8. Has your time on the space station helped in the research of finding \na way\n    to send someone to Mars for a longer period of time?\n9. If a meteorite, space junk, or another spacecraft collides with the ISS,\n    or there was a fire on board, what kind of emergency procedures \nwould be\n    performed to ensure station integrity and crew safety?\n10. What has been your biggest unexpected obstacle, and how did you \nsolve it\n     and still reach your goal?\n11.

Apollo-Soyuz (or Soyuz-Apollo in Russia) represented the first\njoint USA-Soviet mission and set the stage for follow-on Russia-USA space\ncollaboration on the Space Shuttle, Mir Space Station and the International\nSpace Station.  The Soyuz and Apollo vehicles were docked from July 17-19,\n1975, during which time joint experiments and activities were accomplished\nwith the 3 USA astronauts and 2 Soviet Cosmonauts on-board. Apollo-Soyuz\nwas the final mission of the Apollo program and the last USA human\nspaceflight mission until the first space shuttle mission in 1981.\n\nTo commemorate the 40th anniversary of this historic international event,\nthe ARISS team has developed a series of 12 Slow Scan Television (SSTV)\nimages that will be sent down for reception by schools, educational\norganizations and ham radio operators, worldwide.  The SSTV images are\nplanned to start sometime Saturday morning, July 18 and run through Sunday\nJuly 19.  These dates are tentative and are subject to change.  The SSTV\nimages can be received on 145.80 MHz and displayed using several different\nSSTV computer programs that are available on the internet.\n\nWe encourage you to submit your best received SSTV images to:\n\nhttp://spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/submit.php\n\nThe ARISS SSTV image gallery will post the best SSTV images received from\nthis event at:\n\nhttp://spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php\n\nAlso, as a special treat, on Saturday July 18 the ISS Cosmonauts will take\ntime out to conduct an ARISS contact with students attending the Moon\nDay/Frontiers of Flight Museum event in Dallas Texas.  This Russian\nCosmonaut-USA Student contact is planned to start around 16:55 UTC through\nthe W6SRJ ground station located in Santa Rosa, California.  ARISS will use\nthe 145.80 MHz voice frequency downlink (same as the SSTV downlink) for the\nMoon Day contact.\n\nFor more information on ARISS, please go to our web site:\nwww.ariss.org\n\nThe ARISS international team would like to thank our ARISS-Russia colleague,\nSergey Samburov, RV3DR, for his leadership on this historic commemoration.\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS, and Frank H.
