ARISSat-1
by jerry 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

After years of anticipating the launch of SuitSat-2 and then ARISSat-1 , I for one have lost My interest in it. I think even with peak performance , it will take a class "a" ground station to hear any of the formats We're expecting . Definitely not a school project . I hope it proves Me wrong . Jerry WB5LHD

ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V Deployment date?
by Gould Smith 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

I would like to be able to give a firm date for the ARISSat deployment, but there are a few issues that make that a moving target. The deployment is scheduled to occur during Russian EVA 29, today that is 27 July 2011. >From a teleconference last week there was a notice that the EVA may be pushed back a week or two if the Shuttle arrives in early July- nothing firm yet. We have another teleconference 6 July. I will release any probable dates or updates when I know them. Thank you for your patience. 73, Gould, WA4SXM AMSAT ARISSat project manager

When Cell #2 goes, most likely we will be done. We need Fox ASAP, along with FunCube, UKCube, Kiwisat, and the other imminent projects, and a gift launch for P3E. Please, if you use the satellites, or like the program, donate when and what you can. 73, Drew KO4MA

FM satellites
by Dave Guimont 07 Jul '11

07 Jul '11

I don't know how in the world an FM satellite (TWO USER) on a 12 minute pass would help in an emergency...Unless there was only one person involved in the emergency! The other one being the assistance.... A lot of us were screaming ssb/cw (READ BANDWIDTH) when AMSAT-NA blew its wad on AO51. 73, Dave, WB6LLO dguimon1(a)san.rr.com Disagree: I learn....

>> ... I for one have lost My interest in it. I think even with peak performance , it will take a class "a" ground station to hear any of the formats We're expecting . Definitely not a school project . I hope it proves Me wrong . A handheld 2M HT and a simple antenna improvement for it are all that is necessary to hear ARISSat-1 - as designed. Definitely a school project - as schools across the planet are anticipating the deployment. Especially schools in Russia and the U.S. AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-184 re-capped how easy it will be to monitor ARISSat-1. And if you've mis-placed or given away your February, 2011 issue of QST magazine, I have the "Getting Ready for ARISSat-1" article posted on my Web site at ... http://www.work-sat.com Clint Bradford, K6LCS 909-241-7666
