You\nwill find information animations and some JT65B test files at\n\nhttps://cloud.luxspace.lu/public.php?service=files&t=33c4a21c09ba3736\na55fc09896e463f6\n\nThe launch will be transmitted by CNTV/CCTV:\nhttp://www.cntv.cn/ or\nhttp://english.cntv.cn/ or\nhttp://english.cntv.cn/live/p2p/index.shtml\n\nLX2RG says the team are setting up their ground station, and are\nespecially looking for southern hemisphere stations: ZS, VK and ZL,\nSouthern America continent mainly, as they will be placed first hand\nfor the early hours.\n\nLaunched is planned in a narrow window at 17:59:xx UTC on October 23\nand flyby is to occur nominally on October 28 at 00:33 UTC.\n4M is planned to start transmissions at 19:17 UTC, possibly with 10\nminutes additional delay.\n\nK1JT has developed a special version of WSJT. In addition of all the\nfeatures of the standard version, it includes also the display and\nlogging of the dT to three decimal places and the logging of the\nmanual offset that can be entered in JT65B modes. This version should\nbe used by all who wants to participate to the ‘Multilateration’\nexperiment.\nThe participant to this experiment should also make sure that the\nclock of their PC stays synchronized to the UTC time. Desired\naccuracy should be within 1ms and within 10ms at the very least. Use\nof NTP synchronizing software is a must.\n\nThe special version can be downloaded with the following links:\nhttp://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/WSJT_10.0r4336a.exe\nhttps://cloud.luxspace.lu/public.php?service=files&t=2720825f74104b31\nebd699dcc0fd6268\n\nThe LuxSpace ground station comprises 2 x 8 element crossed Yagis\nfrom Joachims antenna (with an improved design to lower the back\nlobe), a SSB.de LNA and Yaesu antenna rotators.\n\nBest regards.\nGhislain Ruy LX2RG\n\nEmail [email protected] with “4M Amateur” in the subject\n\nRead the paper 4M Mission: a Lunar FlyBy experiment\nhttp://tinyurl.com/4M-Mission-V3\n\nEME 2014 slides: 4M, A Moon Flyby Mission\nhttp://tinyurl.com/4M-slides-eme2014\n\nManfred Memorial Moon Mission (4M)\nhttp://moon.luxspace.lu/\n\n4M-LXS Lunar amateur radio payload\nhttp://amsat-uk.org/2014/09/01/4m-lunar-payload/\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nNASA Scholarship and Internship Opportunities\n\n\nOSSI NIFS -- Spring 2015 Opportunities\nNASA's One Stop Shopping Initiative for Internships, Fellowships and\nScholarships, or OSSI NIFS, strives to provide high school students\nand undergraduate and graduate students at all institutions of higher\neducation access to a portfolio of internship, fellowship and\nscholarship opportunities offered by NASA mission directorates and\ncenters.\n\nVisit the Office of Education Infrastructure Division LaunchPad to\nfind information on internship, fellowship and scholarship\nopportunities.

It has two forms of entry catering\nfor 60 children in each year group. Our school is full to capacity\nwith 420 children from Foundation Stage (Reception – Age 4) up to\nYear 6 (Age 11).\nOn the school site we also have the Winter Gardens Pre-School which\ncaters for 60 children a day and the Winter Gardens Toddler Group\nwhich caters for children from birth upwards.\nCanvey Island is situated on the Thames estuary and is an actual\nIsland. Close towns include Basildon and Benfleet and slightly\nfurther afield, Grays (Thurrock) and Southend. There are 12 schools\non the Island, two of which are secondary schools.\nWinter Gardens Primary School is an active school not only within\nthe local community, but also nationally and internationally.\nChildren have taken part in many events in London and we regularly\nreceive visitors from a school in Germany.\n\nPilton Bluecoat School\nPilton Bluecoat is a state run Junior School catering for 250\nchildren aged between 7 – 11 years that is situated on the North\nDevon coast in the South West of England. The school has excellent\nlinks with its community and is committed to providing a vibrant and\nactive learning environment for students.  The school prides itself\nin the high levels of academic attainment by the children as well as\nproviding the children with a wide range of opportunities to enhance\ntheir personal development.\nOur school has been taking part in a whole school theme entitled\n‘The Final Frontier.’\nWe have been looking at aspects of space and will include factual\ninvestigations, setting up fictitious scenario and looking at aspects\nof space travel and space history.\nAll curriculum subjects will be integrated into the work, including\nmathematics and literacy.  The children will be given the opportunity\nto explore their own ideas and facilitate their own learning\npathways.  Children will also have the opportunity to develop their\ncreativity through aspects of art, music and science.\n\n*     A direct contact with students participating in Team Sky and\nRocket (NPO Sora-TO-Rocket-Dan) in Kariya, Aichi, Japan  is scheduled\nfor Thu 2014-10-09.

Despite many CubeSats not having any\nmanoeuvring capability so they cannot avoid collisions during the\nmission or manoeuvre to a disposal orbit at their mission end, they\nare still perceived to have a low impact on the space debris\nenvironment.\n\nHowever, despite guidelines requiring the satellites to deorbit\nwithin 25 years, some are being launched into high Earth orbits,\nwhich means their orbital lifetime could be much greater.\n\nMore than a third of all CubeSats launched to-date (around 160\nbetween 2003 and 2013) are predicted to remain on-orbit for more than\n25 years. Since 2005, CubeSats have been involved in more than\n360,000 close approaches of less than 5 km with other orbiting\nobjects.\n\nDr Lewis says: \"To reduce the risks, some effort is needed to engage\nwith the growing small satellite community. All space users, not just\nthose in the CubeSat community, who are taking the right steps should\nbe encouraged to continue and, ultimately, lead on sustainable\npractices and debris mitigation activities.\n\n\"Those who are not yet engaged with this approach should be\nencouraged to do so. It's probably a matter of changing their\nperceptions of the risks and helping them to understand that there is\na collective responsibility to ensure that outer space activities are\nsustainable so that future generations have the same opportunities to\nuse space as we do.\"\n\nDr Lewis and his team used their Debris Analysis and Monitoring\nArchitecture to the Geosynchronous Environment (DAMAGE) model to\nsimulate three future CubeSat launch traffic scenarios until the year\n2043. By comparing these with close approach data from 2005 to 2013,\nthe team found CubeSats are estimated to be involved in millions of\nclose approaches over the next 30 years, with a handful leading to a\ncollision.\n\nAnalysis of the close approaches found that most of the collision\nrisk from CubeSats comes from high-speed encounters with large\nspacecraft. In addition, many of these encounters were in Sun-\nsynchronous orbits that are popular with remote sensing and Earth\nscience satellites.\n\nDr Lewis adds: \"By far the greatest risk comes from those with long\nlifetimes at altitudes of about 750 km. If CubeSats continue to be\nlaunched into long-lived orbits without any means of disposing of\nthem, then they will contribute to the growing space debris hazard.\nThis is not a responsible or sustainable practice, in my view.\nHowever, if efforts are made to limit the lifetimes- as some are\nalready doing - then the risks will be reduced.\"\n\nhttp://www.spacemart.com/reports/Space_debris_expert_warns_of_\nincreasing_CubeSat_collision_risk_999.html\n\n\n[ANS thanks spacemart.com for the above information]\n\n\n*ISS Expedition 42 Poster Released\n\nRadio amateur and astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti IZ0UDF has put the\nfinal touches to the official crew poster for the International Space\nStation (ISS) Expedition 42.
