PSAT spinning fast?
by Robert Bruninga 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

On the last pass 1500 EDT or so, I was hearing a fade almost every 3 seconds in the PSK31 audio downlink. That would be 20 RPM. So I upped the Sun Vector telemetry sample rate to the highest to get now 24 samples per minute. But this plot shows only about 6 RPM. But if the audio is right, then we are sampling below the Nyquist rate and so the plot can be aliasing… So the question is. What do “you” hear as the audio spin rate in the PSK31 downlink on 435.350?

More ISS SSTV stuff from this morning...
by Patrick STODDARD (WD9EWK/VA7EWK) 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hi! I had a total of 3 passes where I could try to copy the SSTV pictures from the ISS this morning (1429, 1604, and 1742 UTC). I was able to get a picture on each pass, and one pass had about 1 2/3 pictures (most of one picture, then a nice and clean picture before LOS). I have uploaded my pictures to the ARISS SSTV picture gallery: http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php My 4 pictures are at: http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/uploads/10506.jpg (1431 UTC) http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/uploads/10554.jpg (1605 UTC) http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/uploads/10556.jpg (1610 UTC) http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/uploads/10575.jpg (1743 UTC) After the 1610-1613 UTC picture (the third link above), a Russian voice came on the 145.800 MHz frequency. I had not prepared for this, but tried some different uplink frequencies in an attempt to make a voice QSO. This was near my LOS time, and I was unsuccessful. I didn't hear anything that would indicate any station was working RS0ISS. Don't forget that there is an award for copying the current crop of SSTV pictures, which you can apply for online: http://ariss.pzk.org.pl/Apollo-Soyuz/en I wish I had more chances to get more pictures, but the 3 passes this morning were fun to be outside to see what I could get. I'm very happy to have received a clean picture, around the middle of a 65-degree pass here. :-) 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ Twitter: @WD9EWK

Program like Satsked
by Vincenzo Mone 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hi folks, since the launch of the new birds like PSAT BRICSAT and DEORBITSAIL, I was using Satsked. I prefer it because it has a terminal section built-in That I used and still use to send the keplerians to the Trakbox. Now with these three new birds as I put the new datas the program Crashes showing me in the middle of the program numbers letters And symbols that are content in the Keplerian file, and after it stucks So I cannot use it. Is there any program similar to the satsked that I can use without problems? Also I have problem using HalloKepler by DB3DH as it does not recognize The satellites Catalog numbers of the new bird. Any help will be really appreciated. 73's de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.
