LitSat-1 candidate object

Based on a high elevation pass (82 deg) with satellite rise over the Pacific, 1998-067EM (39568) is a very good fit. AOS was within 10 seconds of predicted AOS. Doppler correction tracked good through TCA. 73, Ken W7KKE Lincoln City, OR

I am not sure we are talking about the same bird Trevor. Is LituanicaSat-1 the same as LitSat-1. I thought they were 2 different satellites? I was asking about the one built by the Kaunas University of Technology "LituanicaSat-1". This bird is the one that has the FM transponder, FM CW beacon and AX.25 FM Packet radio as well. I see Mike DK3WN reporting briefly on the 2nd March reception of telemetry http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=42452 There hasn't been much more in the press on the satellite. Any way guessing others may report when things are happening. Thanks Malcolm VK2MAL 73s

Hi every one Any updates on the Lithuanian CubeSat? I thought I heard a few seconds of the CW beacon the other night but it went into eclipse soon after the start of the pass. 73s Malcolm Pizzey VK2MAL

Re: ARISS Contact
by AJ9N＠aol.com 03 Mar '14

Hi all, Thanks for the signal reports for today's contact with Central Square Middle School. Here is what I do know at the moment: The contact scheduled for 14:05 UTC only had about 3 questions get answered and the contact was cut short. A second attempt was then made at 15:40 UTC and it is my understanding that it failed. Sorry I was not able to get the word out for the second attempt but as I was just about to do that I had a work related call that took precedent and lasted for about 45 minutes. It is my understanding that many of you heard the ISS quite loudly, so that is good to know for us as we determine what happened. Thanks again to all for their reports. 73, Charlie Sufana AJ9N One of the ARISS mentors In a message dated 3/3/2014 9:34:45 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, wb3csy(a)gmail.com writes: The ground station had a problem making it to the ISS. The ISS called the ground multiple times. The astronaut could barely hear them. He said he was catching a few words and their signal was weak. By the time everything was ok, they had 2 minutes for the contact. From my location, the astronaut only had time to answer 3 questions. I recorded the pass. The ISS was very strong.
