Go Erie - Students Building Part of AMSAT satellite
by Trevor . 14 May '12

14 May '12

Go Erie reports on the work of students from Penn State Behrend who have been building part of a satellite for AMSAT. See http://www.uk.amsat.org/7381 The report says: "They admit, though, that they're a little disappointed their project will likely have to hitch a ride aboard a Russian spacecraft now that the shuttle program has been discontinued." I initially assumed the satellite in question was FOX until I saw the Russian reference. Can someone clarify which satellite is being referred to. 73 Trevor M5AKA

[ANS thanks Gould Smith, WA4SXM for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- TAPR Forum at Dayton Hamvention TAPR will be found in booths 455-459 in the Ball Arena of the Hara Arena at the Dayton Hamvention. They will be near AMSAT who will be found in booths 444-449 in the Ball Arena. TAPR will feature several SDR projects which are gaining interest quickly in the amateur radio community. Details of TAPR projects and the group's plans for Dayton can be found in the PSR Digital Journal. The Spring 2012 edition is now available for download from: http://www.tapr.org/psr/psr118.pdf The TAPR Forum gets underway in Room 1 of the Hara Arena at 9:15AM on Friday and runs until 11:15 AM. The TAPR Forum speakers include: + Introduction and TAPR Update by Steve Bible, N7HPR + Beyond openHPSDR: Hermes and the Future by Scotty Cowling, WA2DFI. Hermes is the latest addition to the openHPSDR stable of boards. + Embedded DSP for PCless SDR" by Lyle Johnson, KK7P. Self contained radios have been standard since the mid-1920s. Why should SDRs be different? For many applications especially portable operation not having to lug a PC around, or try and read its screen in bright am- bient light, or depend on a laptop's battery charge level can be decided benefits. Advances in DSP technology allow self contained, highly portable SDRs that provide many hours of operation on small, internal battery packs. + Time and Frequency Update by John Ackermann, N8UR. After some down time, the TAPR T&F project list is moving forward. This presentation will discuss the new TADD2 Mini frequency divider that is now shipping, and will give a glimpse of new products in the pipeline. + CODEC 2 by David Rowe, VK5DGR. Codec2 is an open source low bit rate speech codec designed for communications quality speech at 2400bit/s and below. Applications include low bandwidth HF/VHF digital radio and VOIP trunking. Codec 2operating at 2000 bit/s can send 32 phone calls using the bandwidth required for one 64 kbit/s uncompressed phone call. It fills a gap in open source, free as in speech voice codecs beneath 5000 bit/s and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

The team carried the little satellite to top of Tam Dao mountain in Vietnam (about 1300m high). A communication link of 50km with the ground station at the FPT building in Hanoi was established. Despite of heavy fog and high humidity (which was very bad for radio communication) the ground station successfully sent uplink commands to F-1 and the satellite responded correctly, reporting its status and taking some photos. F-1 is one of five CubeSat teams preparing for a launch to the Inter- national Space Station in the July 18-21, 2012 time frame. These Cube- Sats will be launched from Tanegashima, Japan aboard the JAXA HTV-3 ISS resupply mission. The CubeSats will be loaded into the J-SSOD deployer on the Japanese Experiment Module, also known as Kibo. They will be deployed with the Kibo robotic arm planned for September, 2012 timeframe. Other cubesats on this flight include: + HTV 3 (Kounotori 3) + Raiko + We Wish + FITSat 1 + TechEdSat The F-1 Cubesat team posted photos at: http://fspace.edu.vn/?p=557.

I worked CO6CBF, WB2SIH, W5GR, KB1RVT, and KB7MG(A or E??) today. If you need a QSL, email me. I will be sending new contacts QSL's anyway. Thanks guys...but I still need to figure out the last letter in the KB7MG- callsign. I was /p in EN53 instead of the usual EN52 -- *Vince Waelti, K9TSU* WX9MCS/R Control Operator Midwest SSTRC Spotter # MW314 Green County ARES/SKYWARN Winnebago County ARES/SKYWARN
