Frustrated...need detumbling program.
by Carl Rimmer W8KRF 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

The subject line is meant to be facetious, however, I am experiencing much frustration and my brain (what ever is left up there) is tumbling when it comes to decoding the cubesats that were deployed on Oct 28. I have been decoding the telemetry from ARISSat-1 without any problems. I have copied and recorded SRMSAT. I have had QSOs on AO-7. I have digi'd through ISS. I even had a nice QSO with Mike Fossum last week. BUT, I can not decode any of the telemetry from RAX-2, M-Cubed, or E1P. I hear them but just can not see anything using HyperTerminal or the designated Decoding software. I only have the Internal TNC in the TS-2000 and the SignaLink USB/AWGPE. I did try an old MFJ-1270B but it is not able to do 9k6 with its internal modem. I don't know how to tune them in using USB. The mode is stated as FSK or Non-Coherent FSK. I was told to use USB but the signal sounds awful. I know there are a few of you who are copying them. Maybe it is my ignorance or lack of experience, or maybe it just takes more sophisticated equipment. It just seems to me that if the amateur community is being asked to help with these projects, then it should be less complicated to do so. I have pretty much given up on them and put all my effort now into ARISSat-1 while it lasts. If anyone can come down to my level and give me some advise without being so matter-of-fact about it, I would appreciate it. If I just can't do it with what I have, then tell me, so I can stop wasting my golden years trying to be a rocket scientist or space cadet or whatever. Hi 73, -- *Carl W8KRF *

adding new cubesats to oscar.dcarr.org
by Mike Rupprecht 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

I think, it would make sense to add the new cubesats AubieSat-1, M-Cubed, RAX-2 and E1P to the http://oscar.dcarr.org/ list. What do you think? 73 Mike DK3WN

Radar Echos Asteroid YU55
by Farrell Winder 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Is there any NASA or other site wherein we might observe real time Radar Echos from Asteroid YU55 as it passes closest to earth at 6:28 PM EST this evening? Understand echo signals 2380 or 8560 MHz. Farrell Winder, W8ZCF Cincinnati, Ohio

I watch this SDR console quite frequently. Similar in some ways to the Flex Radio x000. _http://sdr-radio.com/_ (http://sdr-radio.com/) Ron

I'd like to second that! My first year attending a symposium, and certainly won't be the last. 73, Ryan KB1LKI P.S. I'm the UCLA guy with all the questions, and apparently the youngest in attendance at the banquet. I hope everyone is enjoying their raffle goodies!

UKube-1 final design approved
by Trevor . 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

The UK space Agency and Astrium have approved the final design of UKube-1 – the UK’s first CubeSat. On Thursday and Friday, November 3-4, a young team of engineers from Clyde Space presented their final design to a team of experts for the Critical Design Review (CDR) – the typical ‘gateway’ for space missions to proceed into the flight build and implementation phase. Full story at http://www.uk.amsat.org/2011/11/08/ukube-1-final-design-approved/ ---- 73 Trevor M5AKA AMSAT-UK publishes a color A4 newsletter, OSCAR News, which is full of Amateur Satellite information.
