I followed Erich's instructions as posted by Stefan I believe and I could not see A0-73 appear in the list of Sats. Has anyone else figured out how to get SatPC32 set up for this wonderful new bird? Rick W2JAZ

KySat-2 Reception
by Bryce Salmi 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

I'm pretty sure I observed the short 9600 baud bursts from KySat-2 on 437.405MHz during the pass of objects over Los Angeles, CA from the Minotaur launch a few days back. I was trying to help a friend who worked on the COMPASS project (St. Luis University). I did not hear COMPASS on or around 437.290 MHz. If anyone hears COMPASS from this batch of cubesats I'd love to pass on the news. Bryce KB1LQC

Triton-1 heard here at 1500UTC pass, every 15s or so. Whats the easiest solution to decode the telemetry? 73, Drew KO4MA -----Original Message----- >From: Wouter Jan Ubbels <w.j.ubbels(a)isispace.nl> >Sent: Nov 23, 2013 3:40 AM >To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org >Subject: [amsat-bb] Triton-1 update #4 23 November 2013 08:30UTC - new Triton1 TLE available > >Hi all, > >New TLE's for the DNEPR launch have been issued, we believe that >Triton-1 is object M. > >2013-066M >1 39427U 13066M 13326.98436826 -.00002391 00000-0 -39688-3 0 10 >2 39427 97.7901 39.5474 0120424 185.3601 174.6374 14.64539763 201 > >Meanwhile, Triton-1 is still in nominal mode, transmitting AX.25 BPSK on >145.822MHz.

Delfi-Next Telemetry??
by Stefan Wagener 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Just wondering if anyone has successfully captured telemetry packets with the DUDe software. The satellite has a very strong signal. Unfortunately, I am not able to get a single useful packet. Stefan

FUNcube-1 Update
by Graham Shirville 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

We have had reports of an apparent distortion in the transmitted telemetry and difficulty in decoding around 12:00 UTC today. We believe that this may have actually been occurring due to the natural phenomena of an active aurora rather than a problem on board the spacecraft. We understand that another spacecraft had the same issues around the same time. We intend to command AO73 back into autonomous mode during the 2035 UTC pass this evening. This will mean that we should have the transponder active when in eclipse and telemetry only when in sunlight. Everyday we learn something new! best 73 FUNcube-1 team

Hello, Can someone provide me with the latest TLE’s, for KySat, their web site appears to have an older issue, thank you. Has anyone determined what object it may be? 73 Peter WB2OQQ

We are transitioning to a new editor (me, and hopefully a few others). I was originally supposed to have the new version ready this week, but have been busy with the new launches and webpage. If anyone is interested in helping, please let me know. 73, Drew KO4MA -----Original Message----- >From: "Harvey N.

What's become of the weekly WSR satellite reports? The last one was Oct. 28 as shown in the Amsat archives. Harvey K5HV
