The first\nis a long-term research and development project called SAiSAT.\n\nThe Southern Africa Amateur Radio Satellite Association (SA AMSAT) \nwhich is affiliated to other AMSAT groups around the world is pro-\nposing an exciting satellite project and is inviting the partici-\npation of South African Universities  and Universities of Technology \nin the development and construction of a completely South African \nAmateur Radio experimental satellite.\n\nThe objective of this satellite is to demonstrate South Africa's \nability to engineer a satellite, employing the latest technology, \nand new innovations. In addition to some feasibility projects for \nfuture commercial use. The aim of the project is to contribute to \npropelling South Africa into a world position as a technology \nresource.\n\nSAiSAT is based on the CubeSat satellite design. SAiSAT plans to \nuse fold out panel a total of 24 in all that support solar panel \nsteering in order to capture the maximum energy available from the \nsun. The rear of the solar panels is free for project use. They have \nthe potential to house 24 projects depending on size.\n\nAn additional research proposal is that the outer rim of each panel \nis fitted with pcb tracks in the form of a coil:\n+ To generate additional power from the Earth's magnetic field. \n+ To torque stabilise the satellite against the Earths magnetic field. \n+ To give orientation data to resolve the attitude of the satellite.\n+ Take additional unused power from the batteries and elevate the \t\n  satellite into an every increasing orbit thus extending its use-\n  fulness and orbital life.\n+ Possible to create an 12 antenna arrary\n  * Provide a steerable antenna array with gain, thus reducing \n    the necessary radio frequency power needed to maintain contact\n    with earth.\n  * Provide a radio Doppler system on board so the satellite can \n    confirm and report position, and supply the radial of interfering \n    emissions.\n  * Provide a vital radio redundancy feature from antenna failure.\n  * Provide static charge data.\n  * Provide residual atmospheric density readings\n\nSA AMSAT has issued an open invitation to tertiary institutions and \nindividuals to participate in the project.  A project meeting is \nscheduled on Friday 25 March ahead of the annual Space Symposium \nwhich will take place the next day. Full details are posted at:\nhttp://www.amsatsa.org.za/SAiSAT.htm\n\n\n*2 SA AMSAT Announces Kletskous Amateur Radio Satellite Project\n\nProject Manager Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP invites amateur satellite\noperators world-wide to monitor the SA AMSAT web page for project\nplans of the Kletskous satellite. (http://www.amsatsa.org.za)\n\nKletskous is a hands-on CubeSat aimed at promoting greater involve-\nment in satellite activity by South African Radio Amateurs. The first \ndraft of a project plan will be available soon on the SA AMSAT web. \nRegular updates will be posted as the project develops.\n\nHannes is inviting interested persons to join the team. \"We are par-\nticularly looking for radio amateurs with RF design experience, \nantenna design experience and software writing experience.

This serves as excellent \npreparation for a scheduled contact with the ISS through the Amateur \nRadio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. But it also \nprovides instruction for continued use of satellites and other man \nmade space assets to explore naturally generated signals, space and \na variety of topics. Dates of the Institute are July 11-14, 2011. \nThe application deadline is May 15, 2011.\n\nThe course will be 4 days: the first half will be setting up and \nlearning to operate the ground station, the second half will be \npractice making satellite contacts and instruction in using space \nborne assets in the classroom. Participants will receive all the \nequipment necessary to set up a basic satellite ground station.  \nThey will participate in an antenna building party (an activity \nthey can duplicate back home with their students). \n\nThough participants need not hold an amateur radio license to enroll \nin all other sessions of the TI, to be considered for a seat in TI-2 \nSpace, participants must possess at least a Technician class license \nat the time of application.  Priority for attending the TI-2 Space \nsession will first be given to teachers who are signed up for an \nARISS contact; second, to TI graduate teachers who have completed an \nARISS contact; third to TI graduates who want to learn more about \nbringing space related activities into their classrooms.   \n\nThis session has a class limit of 8 participants, so apply early!\nFull information and applications are on-line at:\nhttp://www.arrl.org/ti-2-space-in-the-classroom\n\n[ANS thanks the ARRL for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-037.07\nCodec2 Alpha Release Demonstration\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 037.07\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nFebruary 6, 2011\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-037.07\n\nCodec2 Alpha Release Demonstration\n\nIf you attended the 2010 AMSAT Space Symposium you heard the talk \nby Bruce Perens, K6BP about the Codec2 Project, the open-source, \nlow-bit rate voice codec that is being led by David Rowe VK5DGR.\n\nBruce, VE9QRP recently completed an internet bitstream concact \nwith Paul, ZL3IN using an alpha-level release of Codec2. Bruce \nmade a  video of the conversation using the actual audio of the \ndigital audio. You are invited to view/listen to the Codec2 dem-\nonstration at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k-nhHE6CrI\n\nThis demonstration is running at 2500 bps. Bruce wrote, \"We're\naiming for 2400 bps with Forward Error Correction, it could make \nsatellite voice communication comprise a smaller bandwidth, offer-\ning less demanding downlink systems. Because it is open source, \nthe codec could even be implemented in the satellite, perhaps to \nprovide voice-encoded telemetry for a FUNcube-like project of the \nfuture.\"\n\nThe Codec2 site is http://www.rowetel.com/blog/?page_id=452\n\nThe source files of Bruce's conversation with ZL3IN, and many \nancillary Codec2 materials are available on his blog:\nhttp://ve9qrp.blogspot.com\n\n[ANS thanks Bruce, VE9QRP for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-037.08\nARISS Status - 31 January 2011\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 037.08\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nFebruary 6, 2011\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-037.08\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) \nStatus Report January 31, 2011\n\n\n1.
