ARISSat-1 Screen Shots

What a day! And reception reports are already coming in! I apologize for the links that non-Mac folks' systems wouldn't allow entry or didn't like the "tinyurl" forwarder ... something about long filenames and symbols in the filenames. ANYWAY - Here'a about 60 screenshots taken from the deployment ... http://gallery.me.com/clintbradford#100271 I also have "both" video sessions: -The first - the first 30+ minutes of EVA29 ... nice footage, but deployment delayed, of course. -The second - the deployment, but no video from ISS nor astronauts' helmets during actual deployment - just audio and static screens during the physical deployment. (But I'll wager that the Russian Federal Space Administration will have some great photos and/or video of it on their site soon ... (grin).) If you are seriously interested in either .flv movie file, please privately email me. They're just under 300MB each ... so I'll post them somewhere for you to download.

Does anyone know of a way to get the GPS output from a Palm Pixi (same OS as the Palm PRE) so it can be used for APRS? 73 de W0HV, Jim in Raymore, MO

ARISSat-1 - LED Status?
by Clint Bradford 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Did the Russian astronauts re-state the LED status before deployment? Or has it been transmitting since they first flipped switches this morning? Clint Bradford clintbradford(a)mac.com

ARISSat-1 Deployed !
by Gould Smith 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

The ARISSat-1 space craft was deployed from the ISS today at 1443Z after a hold based upon questions about the 70cm antenna. Congratulations to the ARISSat-1 team! Now bring on those reception reports. The ARISSat-1 satellite will be in High power mode (continuous transmission) when in the sun and go to Low power (intermittent) mode when in eclipse. 73, Gould
