After\nthe conclusion of the nominal experiment and with the digipeater payload\nactive for more than one year, we will perform the passivation operations\nfor the satellite.\n\nThe planned passivation operations will be executed on Monday, 5 February\n2024, at 00:00 UTC. From that day, GreenCube will be completely passivated\nand the digipeater will be switched off for good.\n\nWe want to thank everyone that endorsed, supported or participated in the\nmission and the radio amateur community that enthusiastically became a true\npart of our project. We hope that GreenCube will somehow be part of your\nmemories of radio amateurs, space engineering enthusiasts, and we hope to\ninvolve you soon in many more adventures.\n\nThanks once again for the unbelievable memories shared together… See you\nsoon!\n\nThe GreenCube Team at S5Lab\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information.]\n------------------------------\nAMSAT Responds to Scheduled Decommisioning of IO-117\n\nAMSAT leadership, as were all amateurs, saddened to learn that S5Lab plans\nto decommission IO-117 (GreenCube) and execute a passivation operation on\nFebruary 5, 2024. AMSAT stands ready to leverage its decades of experience\nand work with S5Lab, AMSAT Italia, other AMSAT organizations, and the\namateur satellite community at large to overcome any obstacles, regulatory\nor otherwise, to keeping IO-117 in service for as long as possible. This\nafternoon, AMSAT President Robert Bankston, KE4AL, sent the following\nletter to S5Lab expressing its desire to provide any support it can to keep\nthe satellite in operation.\n\nJanuary 25, 2024\n\nSapienza Space Systems and Space Surveillance Laboratory (S5Lab)\nSapienza University of Rome\nVia Email\n\nTo The GreenCube Team:\n\nOver the past 13+ months, amateur satellite operators around the world have\nenjoyed the use of the digipeater on GreenCube (IO-117). As amateur radio’s\nfirst satellite in a medium earth orbit (MEO), it has opened worldwide\nlong-distance contacts via amateur radio satellite that had not been\npossible since the loss of AMSAT-OSCAR 40 in 2004. As this letter is being\nwritten, a DXpedition to Clipperton Island in the Pacific Ocean has made\ncontact with several hundred amateur operators around the world – the first\nactivation of this rare location on amateur satellite in over 30 years.\nAMSAT and the amateur satellite community greatly appreciate your team\nmaking this wonderful resource available.\n\nNot only has this satellite been a great resource to the amateur community,\nbut the amateur community has also assisted GreenCube’s mission by\nuploading millions of frames of data received – including much data from\nwhen the satellite is not within the primary ground station’s footprint.\n\nLaunches above low earth orbit are rarely available for amateur satellite\nmissions. Since the first amateur radio satellite launched in 1962, fewer\nthan ten have gone to orbits beyond LEO and only QO-100 (available to only\npart of the world) and IO-117 remain in service.\n\nDue to the unique orbit and capabilities, we request that S5Lab postpone\nthe scheduled passivation operation and keep the satellite’s digipeater in\nservice. Amateur satellites have a long tradition of extended lifetimes.\nAmateur radio operators still utilize AMSAT-OSCAR 7 – launched nearly fifty\nyears ago in 1974 – for communications on a daily basis. Many other amateur\nradio satellites have been actively used for ten to twenty years. AMSAT\nstands ready to leverage our 55 years of experience in managing amateur\nradio satellites and work with S5Lab, AMSAT Italia, other AMSAT\norganizations, and the amateur satellite community at large to overcome any\nobstacles, regulatory or otherwise, to keeping GreenCube in service for as\nlong as possible.\n\nSincerely,\n\nRobert Bankston, KE4AL\nPresident\nRadio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT)\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT for the above information.]\n\n*+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+*\n\n\n\n*The 2024 AMSAT President’s Club coins are here now!Help Support GOLF and\nFox Plus*\n\n\n\n*Join the AMSAT President’s Club today and helpKeep Amateur Radio in\nSpace!https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-clu\n<https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club>*b\n<https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club>\n\n*+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+*\nApogee View\n\nAs 2023 comes to a close, it is a great time to reflect on where we are,\nwhat we have accomplished, and what is waiting for us over the next\nhorizon. 2023 has passed by so quickly. Our presence at Hamcation led right\ninto Hamvention, followed by our annual Symposium. We shared the AMSAT\nstory with attendees at the CubeSat Developers Workshop and developed\nstrategic contacts with others in the space industry. Our engineers on the\nGOLF team found a solution for an attitude determination and control system\n– a major sticking point in developing GOLF-TEE. The Fox Plus team made\nsignificant progress, with the possibility of being able to launch their\nfirst satellite at the end of the coming year. Our volunteers in the ASCENT\nprogram developed a new packet radio that will fly on an upcoming Fox Plus\nmission and started work on a software-defined radio (SDR) that will add\ngreater flexibility to how we communicate in future flights. Additionally,\nif that was not enough, our Education and CubeSat Simulator team is nearing\ncompletion of the new v1.3 AMSAT CubeSat Simulator, which incorporates a\nRaspberry Pi Pico microprocessor.\n\nAMSAT should…\n\nNot a day goes by when an AMSAT member does not recommend a great idea to\nadvance amateur radio in space, expand our communications footprint,\neducate new satellite operators, and make our organization more efficient.\nWhile I would love to implement each and every one of them, we do not have\nthe resources to make it happen.\n\nWhile we have never been in a better position financially, we need to have\nthe necessary people to bring all these great ideas and dreams into\nreality. AMSAT is an all-volunteer organization. As such, we rely on our\nmembers to not only invest their hard-earned dollars but also roll up their\nsleeves to design, build, and launch amateur radio payloads into space.\n\nBeing short-staffed is not the end of the world, nor does it mean we must\ngive up on our dreams. We just need to find creative ways to make it happen.\n\nOne solution is to partner with other AMSAT organizations worldwide on\nfuture satellite projects. We have already proven that together, we can\naccomplish so much more.\n\nAdditionally, we can outsource some of the basic satellite systems and\ncomponents we have already mastered and focus our limited human resources\non developing new technologies and communication methods. When AMSAT was\nformed in 1969, we were the only game in town. Now, you can’t google\nsatellites without stumbling across a trove of commercial vendors who offer\ncomplete, flight-proven satellite packages with just a click of a button.\n\nThis same outsourcing principle can be applied not only to building\nsatellites but to our administrative and back-office tasks, as well. We\ndesperately need someone to assist in providing the quality of service that\nour members deserve, and our website seriously needs a complete makeover\nand rewrite.\n\nIn closing, I want to thank each of our volunteers and members personally.\nNone of this would have been possible without your hard work, dedication,\nand support. We have an opportunity to achieve so much more with you. As we\nmove forward into the coming year and beyond, I hope your generosity will\ncontinue.\n\nUntil the next time, 73!\n\n[ANS thanks Robert Bankston, KE4AL, AMSAT President for the above\ninformation.]\n------------------------------\nNew, Portable Antenna Satellite Antenna Design is Perfect for ECOM\n\nResearchers at Stanford University and the American University of Beirut\n(AUB) have developed a portable antenna that could be quickly deployed in\ndisaster-prone areas or used to set up communications in underdeveloped\nregions. The antenna, described recently in Nature Communications, packs\ndown to a small size and can easily shift between two configurations to\ncommunicate either with satellites or devices on the ground.\n\n“The state-of-the-art solutions typically employed in [disaster] areas are\nheavy, metallic dishes. They’re not easy to move around, they require a lot\nof power to operate, and they’re not particularly cost-effective,” said\nMaria Sakovsky, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at\nStanford.\n\nThe antenna designed by Sakovsky and her colleagues at AUB is made of fiber\ncomposites (a material often used in satellites) and resembles a child’s\nfinger-trap toy, with multiple strips of material crossing in spirals. Just\nlike any helix-based antenna, conductive material running through the\nantenna sends out signals, but thanks to its unique structure, the\nresearchers can adjust the pattern and power of those signals in the new\nantenna by pulling it into longer shapes or shorter shapes.\n\n“Because we wanted the antenna to be able to collapse into a packable\nshape, we started with this structure that led us to a very untraditional\nantenna design,” Sakovsky said. At its most compact, the antenna is a\nhollow ring that stands just over 1 inch tall and about 5 inches across –\nnot much larger than a bracelet – and weighs 1.4 ounces. In this shape,\nit’s able to reach satellites with a high-power signal sent in a particular\ndirection. When stretched out to about a foot tall, the antenna sends a\nlower power signal in all directions.\n\n“The frequency you want to operate at will dictate how large the antenna\nneeds to be, but we’ve been able to show that no matter what frequency you\noperate at, you can scale this design principle to achieve the same\nperformance,” Sakovsky said. To be deployed in the field, the antenna would\nneed to be paired with a transceiver to send and receive signals, a ground\nplane to reflect radio waves, and other electronics, but the whole package\nwould still only weigh about 2 pounds.\n\nRead the complete story at http://tinyurl.com/ANS-028-Antenna.\n\n[ANS thanks Stanford News and Space Daily for the above information.]\n\n*+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+*\n\n\n\n\n\n* Need new satellite antennas?
