Eclipses finished on 20 August. Previous observations indicated\nthat anytime after 10 August there would have been sufficient solar\npower to support continuous operation.\n\nOwing to the lack of accurate timings, it is impossible to predict when\nsustained beacon operation will restart, although this is expected any\nday now.  When the beacon starts it is expected to operate 10 days ON\nfollowed by 10 days OFF.\n\nThe satellite is now in continuous sunlight, and this will continue\nuntil 14 November, when a short eclipse season starts.\n\nI have received one reception report, from Jim G3WGM, who heard weak\nsignals at the end of a pass on 01 August.  Many thanks JIM.\n\nThe Beacon frequencies are -\n\nVHF 145.826 MHz.  AFSK FM  ASCII Telemetry\nUHF 435.025 MHz.  OFF\nS-band 2401.5 MHz.

ARISS Contact with Nanjing, China, a Huge Success\n\nOn Sunday, August 26, the first Amateur Radio on the International Space\nStation (ARISS) contact with a Chinese school was performed with youth\nfrom Nanjing No. 3 High School in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Twenty students\nspoke with astronaut Clay Anderson, KD5PLA. Twenty questions were asked\nand answered as approximately 300 students and parents looked on. A\nvice-director of MII (Chinese FCC) was present during the contact, as\nwell as a vice mayor of Nanjing and a group of 60 local government\nofficials. Mr. Chen, BA1HAM, and Mr.Tong, BA1AA, two of the veterans in\nChinese Amateur Radio Society, also attended. Local hams and businesses\nsupported the students with the contact. ARISS Chairman Frank Bauer,\nKA3HDO, was invited to speak via teleconference to the students and\nother participants prior to the contact.  Ten television stations,\nincluding local, provincial, and national stations, as well as another\ntelevision team from Hong Kong reported on the event.  The news story\nwas also picked up by several radio stations, and was broadcasted live\nin several provinces across China. It was also covered by thirty\nnewspapers. Live video of the contact was also available on sina.com and\nqq.com, which are two major internet news portals in China, and they\nalso put the contact on their front pages as featured reports. A\nheadline about the upcoming school contact in China was posted on the\nMSN startup window, so every Chinese MSN messenger user would see this\nnotice. Many other websites published their own press releases. Through\nall media avenues, more than 100 million people were reached!  \n\nThe audio for this event was fed into EchoLink AMSAT (101 377), JSDXC\n(337 784) and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers, receiving 106 connections from\n10 countries, of which five were repeater nodes. (A fourth server in\nBangkok was also used, although it was not monitored for connections.)\nThe audio was also fed into the IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010 and\nreceived 5 connections and another 9 picked up on the streaming audio. \nSeveral press releases may be viewed on the following sites:\nhttp://www.lifeofguangzhou.com/node_10/node_37/node_85/2007/08/20/118757580225767.shtml\nwww.nanjing.gov.cn/pub/english/today/njnew/society/200708/t20070808_219253.htm\nhttp://en.0437.gov.cn/dispArticle.Asp?ID=1581\nhttp://nanjingbbs.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7973\nhttp://english.qianlong.com/article1.jsp?oid=23244189\nhttp://en.implight.net/node/54595\nhttp://www.ariss.cn/ (video)\n\n\n2. Upcoming School Contacts\n\nGail Borden Public Library in Elgin, Illinois has been slated for an\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on\nWednesday, September 5 at 18:38 UTC. A multi-media educational exhibit\nentitled, “SPACE: Dare to Dream,” will be on display for four months and\nis expected to draw 350,000 people of all ages. The exhibit will include\nthe Forest of Dreams where the night sky rises, Galileo’s studios, and a\nSaturn V section. Other NASA exhibits will be on display, all to\nencourage the public to join the library’s reading program – “Mission:\nRead.” In addition to these ongoing displays, many special programs with\npresentations and hands on activities will be offered throughout the\nsummer. Veteran astronaut Dr. Janice Voss visited on July 10.  On the\nday of the event, space videos will be shown and a slideshow of the crew\nand earth observation photos will be presented during the contact. In\nconcluding the event, the staff will run the video, “NASA back to the\nMoon.” The collaborative exhibit and program partners are Adler\nPlanetarium, Chicago, IL; Fermilab, Batavia, IL; Planetary Studies\nFoundation, Galena, IL; Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art, Elmhurst, IL;\nNASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH; SciTech, Aurora, IL.\nExtensive media coverage is planned through newspapers, magazines,\ntelevision, radio and the internet.\n\n\n3.
