Contacts would take place during the\nfirst half of 2017. The 12 semifinalists, in eight states, must now \ncomplete\nan acceptable equipment plan that demonstrates their ability to execute the\nham radio contact. Once the ARISS technical team approves the equipment \nplan,\nthe selected schools/organizations will be scheduled, matching their\navailability and flexibility with the scheduling opportunities that NASA\ncan offer.\n\nThe schools and organizations are:\n\n     Blair Pointe Upper Elementary School, Peru, Indiana\n     Brook Haven School, Sebastopol, California\n     Greater Niagara Frontier Council BSA, Buffalo, New York\n     McBride High School, Long Beach, California\n     Palmetto Scholars Academy, North Charleston, South Carolina\n     Rainbow Middle School, Rainbow City, Alabama\n     SCaN/Glenn Research Center, Brook Park, Ohio\n     Space Center Houston, Houston, Texas\n     St Joseph School, Ronkonkoma, New York\n     Student Space Technology Association, Knoxville, Tennessee\n     Virginia Reinhardt Elementary School, Rockwall, Texas\n     Warwick Valley Central School District, Warwick, New York\n\nThe primary goal of the ARISS program is to engage young people in Science,\nTechnology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities and raise their \nawareness\nof space exploration, space communications and related areas of study and\ncareer possibilities.\n\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS and the ARRL for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAmateur Satellite Launch from India\n\n\nMineo Wakita JE9PEL reports on the Indian ISRO PSLV-C34 amateur radio\nsatellite launch planned for June 10, 2016 at 0355 UT into a 500 km\n98 degree inclination orbit.\n\nMain Payload, Cartosat-2C, Earth Observing\nPSLV-XL(C-34), Satish Dharwan Space Centre, Sriharikota, India\n\nSatellite        Uplink    Downlink  Beacon    Mode\n------------       -------       --------        ------- ---------------\nBEESAT-4         .        435.950  435.950  4800bps GMSK,CW\nBIROS               .        437.525        .         4800bps GMSK\nLAPAN-A3        .              .               .

With ÑUSAT-1 on the launch was its sister satellite\nÑUSAT-2 which has a 437 MHz beacon.\n\nUPDATE May 30, 2016 at 1300 UT: ÑUSAT-1 and ÑUSAT-1 launched and deployed\nsuccessfully, signals reported from both telemetry beacons. Satellogic \nreports\n“All Systems: Nominal”.\n\nAMSAT-LU reports both satellites are sending strong TLM on 436.445/437.445\nat 9K6/19K2 GFSK. During first few days they are being stabilized, after \nthat\nthe U/V linear transponder will be activated on ÑUSAT-1. A notice will be\ngiven on the AMSAT Bulletin Board (AMSAT-BB).\n\nAs we quoted when the announcement of the launching of this experiment, \nAmsat\nArgentina has been working for several years to keep alive the dream of many\nArgentine amateurs to get back into Space with their own satellite as a \nfollow-\non of the legendary 1990’s LUSAT-1, reaping the benefits of Technological\nadvancement of our days.\n\nWe believe technical activities and developments of experiments in near \nspace\nshare the same goals: preserving the human group, enhancing their \ncapabilities\nas well as disseminate and guiding the education and development of the\nactivity, meanwhile contributing to Space available resources.\n\nOur agreement with Satellogic Enterprises, which already launched three low\norbit satellites: Captain Beto, Manolito y Tita, two of which transmit\ntelemetry and data currently in UHF identifying themselves with callsign \nLU7AA,\nallowed us to ride a linear analog amateur radio transponder and \ncorresponding\nantenna aboard one of their next satellite, ÑUSAT-1\n\nAMSAT-LU provides simultaneously, support for this mission and the ÑUSAT-2\nmission, by operating one of the control stations at Tortuguitas, Prov. Of\nBs.As.\n\nThe experiment Amsat-LU developed, evolved from original design of our\ncolleague and partner William, PE1RAH, while electronic adaptation, \nmechanical\nand software was made by the LU Satellite Experiment group, mounted on a \n10 x\n10 centimeters radiating plate, in which components of the power supply \nas well\nas a duplexer and dual band antenna where also incorporated.\n\nThis set was installed on the Ñusat-1 bus, which supplies power and becomes\npart of several other experiments this satellite will make.\n\nThe transponder receives UHF which is broadcasted in VHF, has a bandwidth of\n30 kHz. with an output power of 250 mW.\n\n435.935 ~ 435.965 are LSB/CW uplink passband\n145.965 ~ 145.935 are USB/CW downlink passband\n145.900 Basic CW Telemetry\n\nThe launch will be from a Chinese launcher in a polar orbit at 500 km. \nheight,\nwith inclination of 97 degrees from Equator.\n\nsee\nhttp://www.amsat.org.ar\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Amsat.LU\nhttp://lusex.org.ar\nhttp://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm\n\n\n[ANS thanks AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-Argentia for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nZF2AE from Grand Cayman via Satellite\n\n\nCayman Islands (EK99) - Adrian, AA5UK will be QRV as ZF2AE from Grand\nCayman, IOTA NA-016 from June 27, 2016 - July 2, 2016.
