APRS via GO32 for Field Day
by Robert Bruninga 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

GO32 is in APRS mode for Field Day. I just checked on the LIVE DOWNLINK on the GO32 APRS web page: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/GO32-ops.html And there seems to be active users testing. So if you want an uncongested satellite that anyone can work with APRS at 9600 baud you might consdier it. (The D7 and D700 are ready to go!) I also noticed that ISS is in APRS mode (1200 baud) so unless it changes before the weekend, that is also a possiblity. Bob, WB4APR

General Astrodynamics Library
by pwillmott＠northrock.bm 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Version 0.3.0 of the General Astrodynamics Library has been released. It can be downloaded from the project website here: http://homepage.mac.com/pclwillmott/GAL/index.html Updates in this release: * ODE Integrator sub-library created. Lunar position and velocity routine added to ephemerides sub-library. Routine implements LUNAR SOLUTION ELP version ELP/MPP02 Solar position and velocity routine added to ephemerides sub-library. Acceleration from spherical harmonics routine added to gravity sub-library. Many routines updated for internal compatibilty with the upcoming official IAU SOFA C library. R-matrices have had indicies reversed compared to GAL 0.2 and earlier. Work will now be started on the classical keplerian models, and atmosphere models. The General Astrodynamics Library (GAL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License. The library provides a wide range of astrodynamical routines such as ephemerides, earth orientation, and orbit propagation. There are over 225 functions in total with an extensive test suite.

Excellent pass for Delphi-C3/DO-64 over VK
by Tim Tuck 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

Hi all, Just had an excellent pass for this satellite and managed to capture and upload 550 packets of telemetry to their servers. It was cool to watch the data change as the satellite passed over and to see things like the massive difference in temps between sensors on the satellite such as +35degC on one and -68degC on the other ! cheers Tim -- VK2XTT :: QF56if :: BMARC :: WIA :: AMSAT
