USNA Sat Status
by Robert Bruninga 21 May '15

21 May '15

US Naval Academy Satellite Status Three of four transmitters on 3 separate spacecraft have been heard. PSAT has good voltages and nice temperatures. BRICsat has now been heerd. Awaiting permission from BRNO University to authorize HF user uplinks on PSK31. Also we have turned on Whole Orbit Data (WOD) and so each miniute PSAT will include a packet (145.825) with alphapbet soup on the end. Those will be triplets of XYZ sun data for the last minute. So we will be looking for a rotation pattern in those values. 145.825 1.5U cubesat PSAT 1200 baud 435.350 same cubesat PSAT PSK31 Brno University transponder 437.975 1.5U cubesat BRICsat 9600 baud 437.975 3.0U cubesat USS Langley <yet to be heard from> Bob, WB4APR > ULTRASat3 > 1 99993U 15140.67013889 .00040043 00000-0 10235-2 0 00009 > 2 99993 055.0004 339.9238 0251027 182.3314 074.3075 15.12517086000014

In light of this happy news, I have added BRICsat to the list of satellites on the AMSAT Predictions page. -Joe KM1P

BRICsat now heard too!
by Robert Bruninga 21 May '15

21 May '15

BRICsat at 9600 baud 437.975 now heard PSAT at 1200 on 145.825 PSAT PSK31 (Brno University) on 435.350 Power levels seem fine, so we are awaiting Brno to authorize users on 28.120 uplink. Now listening for USS Langley on 437.475 The elements below seem to work fine.

PCSAT-1 - Report
by GW1FKY＠aol.com 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hi, I was monitoring the Funcube-1 Dashboard Data this morning (Thursday 21st May) and after its pass I tuned around 145.825 Mhz. I appear to have heard CW from PSAT-1 at a late stage of a pass before it got to low. The frequency was around 145.824 Mhz and the time 1142 gmt. Sorry I perhaps missed an opportunity to monitor and give a full report. Please note also that UO-11 is "off" at the moment but I was getting data bursts from NO-44 during an earlier pass.

9600 Hardware
by Kelley 21 May '15

21 May '15

What kind of hardware and/or software are people using to decode the 9600 bps cubesats? I've got quite a few 1200 bps options, but nothing that does 9600 bps. Thanks, Kelley -- Kelley - WØRK

PSAT-1 predictions
by Steve Kristoff 21 May '15

21 May '15

Can we expect the PSAT orbit predictions to be available on the AMSAT Prediction site soon, or am I jumping the gun on this one? Steve Kristoff skristof(a)etczone.com

BRCSAT and LIGHTSAIL

On the 0105u pass of BRCSAT, I received one 9K6 packet. That was also the only packet I heard. 1:Fm BRCSAT To APUSNA <UI pid=F0 Len=19 >[18:05:07] 0000000936, 21,684 For the Light sail I received a lot of binary data at 9K6.

PSAT-1

The 23:20u pass was near my horizon, I only displayed 3 of the 1K2 packets. 1:Fm PSAT-1 To APOFF Via ARISS <UI pid=F0 Len=15 >[16:26:13] s#000201,0z001 1:Fm PSAT-1 To APOFF Via ARISS <UI pid=F0 Len=34 >[16:27:16] T#327,860,070,614,839,820,00011100 1:Fm PSAT-1 To APOFF Via ARISS <UI pid=F0 Len=15 >[16:27:48] s#000202,0z001 The next pass should be high enough to receive the 9K6 data. Is there a preference for which of the three satellites I should listen for??? KO6TZ
