Ok, Dave, Changed CAS-2T on http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm to Object E. It is more reasonable, as Object-A is now over 900 Km height while object E is at 525 Km height. All 2016-66 objects are made available on pass to further check. Thanks for information !! 73, lu7abf, Pedro On Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 2:30 PM, Dave Webb KB1PVH <kb1pvh(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Pedro, > > DK3WN seems to think it's Object E. > > http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=75971 > > Dave-KB1PVH > > Sent from my Galaxy S7 > > > On Nov 10, 2016 12:26 PM, "Pedro Converso" <pconver(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> CAS-2T available for tracking on http://amsat.org.ar/pass.htm as CAS2T >> >> Voice FM Rpt from 145.925 MHz to 435.615 MHz, CW Beacon on 435.710 MHz. >> >> Tentative Keps 2016-066A Obj.Nbr. 41841 from >> http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/tle-new.txt >> >> 73, LU7ABF, Pedro >> _______________________________________________ >> Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] CAMSAT launched CAS-2T Technical Verification Satellite

Hi guys, I listened for CAS-2T on the 17:30 UTC pass over Europe (an overhead pass). The CW beacon is easy to copy, but it seems that there is much QSB. Perhaps the satellite is spinning fast. The FM transponder doesn't work properly. It is weak, and it seems that it tries to modulate, but it doesn't modulate well and it shuts down, and continues doing this on and on as long as someone tries to active it. I would say that it responded to my PTT (using 5W to 3el) well, but I can't be sure, as there were a handful other stations trying. Finally, the statement that CAS-2T will not be separated from the final stage rocket and will re-enter in 10 to 30 days doesn't make any sense at all. First, in the image of CAS-2T shown on AMSAT-UK, it just looks like a regular cubesat, so no way that antennas and solar panels would work fine without separation from the rocket. Second, the TLEs for this launch are already in Celestrak and Space-Track. There are 6 objects tracked (A through F). Mike DK3WN says that object E is a good match for the Doppler profile of CAS-2T CW beacon. My observations on the 17:30 pass agree with him. Objects A through D are on 512km x 492km orbits. Objects E and F are on 1030km x 504km orbits. There is no way that any of these objects (especially E and F) will decay in less than a month. For comparison, according to Space-Track, NORAD ID 41559, which is a CZ-4B rocket body that was launched 30th May, sending its payload into a 500km circular orbit, and is currently on a 360km x 240km orbit, will decay around 15th December. This is 6 months to decay for the rocket body of a similar launch. Hopefully Alan BA1DU will be able to give us more accurate information about this launch. 73, Dani EA4GPZ.

AMSAT cruise & radio gear aboard
by Clayton Coleman 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

If you go through port security and are denied boarding with your radio gear, mention you are with the AMSAT group. I spoke to the Carnival Liberty Chief Security Officer. There was some confusion but that has been resolved as of 11:30am. 73 Clayton W5PFG

Newly launched CAS-2T CW Beacon heard here in EL88 West Central Florida at 13:08 UTC, Thursday November 10 2016. Signal was quite good and some TLM was copied. Will be listening again in 90 minutes to see if another pass is in range or until some Kepsbecome available... Keith N4ZQ

Re: [amsat-bb] [FUNcube] AO73 - unexpected mode change?

Hi Brain, Well spotted sir! You are correct - FC1 is having a long weekend so that the many many operators joining the AMSAT-NA Convention on board Carnival Liberty today can have some extra FUN! Indeed please watch out for further announcement later about even more FUN in space becoming available today. best 73 from windy Galveston.

Hi Graham,I noted an unexpected switch into eclipse mode today at about 10:40z in today's second southbound orbit. As far as I can tell it was not a day to night transition at that time. Or is FC1 enjoying an even longer weekend from Thursday am?
