Yes this is the callsign of SS-1. By the way SS-1 is active on both UHF and VHF, but difficult to catch it on VHF as it is still close to ISS and its APRS repeater. It is similar to NUTSAT and TJREVERB that were released recently. 73, fredy On 1/7/23 09:17, Jean Marc Momple via AMSAT-BB wrote: > Hi All, > > I received the APRS message below when ISS was overhead on 435.825 MHz: > > Fm YH1SSS-1 To APOT30 Via ARISS <UI pid=F0 Len=47 >[09:13:49] > > 0011111011000010;3.15;8.06;12.39;0.03;200.39E-6 > > Does anyone knows if the callsign YH1SSS belongs to SS-1? > > 73 > > > Jean Marc (3B8DU) > > > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2023-01-06 17:00 UTC
by aj9n＠aol.com 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2023-01-06 17:00 UTC Quick list of scheduled contacts and events: TBD Special thanks to our ARISS telebridge ground stations. Approximately 38% of the ARISS school contacts are handled by the ARISS telebridge stations. Thanks to following stations: AB1OC, IK1SLD, K6DUE, NA7V, ON4ISS, VK4ISS, VK4KHZ, VK5ZAI, VK6MJ, and ZS6JON. (***) The crossband repeater continues to be active. If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband repeater. So give a listen, you just never know. ####################################################################################################################################### Comments on making general contacts I have been seeing a lot of traffic on Facebook and I suspect on other social media sites with people asking why they are not hearing the crew make general contacts. First off the crew is very busy on the ISS and they simply may not have the time to just pick up the microphone and talk. Also, one needs to be aware of their normal daily schedule. I have listed below the constraints that we at ARISS have to follow in order to schedule the school contacts. Hopefully this will help you better schedule your opportunities. Typical daily schedule Wakeup to Workday start= 1.5 hours Workday start to Workday end=12 hours Workday end to Sleep= 2 hours Sleep to wakeup= 8.5 hours The crew's usual waking period is 0730 - 1930 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking and before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free most of the weekend, as well. SSTV events are not that often. So please check out https://www.ariss.org/ for the latest information or watch for the ARISS announcements. And don’t forget that the packet system is active. As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios are turned off as part of the safety protocol. The latest information on the operation mode can be found at https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html The latest list of frequencies in use can be found at https://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html ######################################################################################################################################## A multi-point telebridge contact means that each student will be on the telebridge from their own home. **************************************************************************************************************************************** ARISS is very aware of the impact that COVID-19 is having on schools and the public in general. As such, we may have last minute cancellations or postponements of school contacts. As always, I will try to provide everyone with near-real-time updates. Watch for future COVID-19 related announcements at https://www.ariss.org/ The following schools have now been postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19: Postponed: No new schools Cancelled: No new schools **************************************************************************************************************************************** Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed time. All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8601 date and time format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS The complete schedule page has been updated as of 2023-01-06 17:00 UTC. (***) Here you will find a listing of all scheduled school contacts, and questions, other ISS related websites, IRLP and Echolink websites, and instructions for any contact that may be streamed live. https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.txt The successful school list has been updated as of 2022-12-17 02:00 UTC. https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf The ARISS webpage is at https://www.ariss.org/ Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.

Story of SuryaSat-1 (SS-1) Nano Satellite This afternoon 6 January 2023, at 07:50 UTC, there will bethe culmination of the long journey of Surya Satellite (SS-1) Nano Satelliteproject that started in 2016 after a presentation of amateur radio activities byORARI (the Indonesian Radio Amateurs Organization) to students of University ofSurya. In early 2015 ORARI made a presentation to University ofSurya Robotic Club, and one of the amateur radio activities that got theirinterest was high-altitude ballooning due to the telemetry aspect, such assending temperature, altitude, voltage, as it relates to their roboticinterest. I showed them a couple pictures of my past activity in ARHAB as thefaculty advisor of amateur radio society at Texas Tech University in early 2000.This started the high-altitude balloon planning, including designing theballoon payload (APRS utilizing OpenTracker mini board). Late 2015, with the successful launch and activation ofLAPAN-A2/ORARI (which becomes IO-86) satellite, the students grew interest ofbuilding a satellite as it is only a couple of kilometers higher they said.

AMSAT Ambassadors
by Clint Bradford 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Why would ANYone prepare more than 150 90-minute presentations (each of mine IS customized for the club/convention to whom I am speaking, with about 24 “slides” being unique to each)? Are AMSAT Ambassadors in it for the money? (My accountant just shrieked in laughter.) No … I think I can speak for many AMSAT Ambassadors when I say, we’re in it for THIS: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I worked a very nice fellow in Oklahoma tonight via the ISS Crossband repeater — my first Satellite QSO. My equipment is nothing special; just a Yaesu FT-60 HT and handheld Arrow yagi; pretty much the plain vanilla "Bradford Method" -- it really works! My first couple of attempts at satellite ops were not successful; but tonight It all came together. Thank you, Clint, you are a wonderful ambassador for satellite ops. Until I saw one of your lectures I never dreamed I could work the satellites with simple, low-cost equipment. I'm almost embarrassed at how excited I am! 73, -Tom N6QDI - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I spoke to Tom’s club - the Coachella Valley ARC - and, as I replied to him, HE HAS THE BUG! I was just invited to speak to a club who has been around since 1934! And I have two presentations booked for Europe, and another one in Canada. And more upcoming for 2023. Long live AMSAT! Clint K6LCS WorkTheBirds.com PS “The ‘Plain Vanilla Bradford Method’?” Sounds like a psychiatric thesis. PPS Before you reply with, “That HT ain’t full-duplex,” please know that every audience hears the phrase - AND explanation of - “It is BEST if we work these easy satellites in true, full-duplex mode … “ at least FIVE TIMES during my shows. PPPS “Lectures?" /end/

Earthlink, my email provider, is treating BB messages as spam now. Not sure what to do to fix it. KB7ADL the BB as spam.

I wonder the same lots of times but in the end it is just low email activity I guess. I also find the sats some days with no activity not that I am very active these days but just getting back on now I have some time available. AO-40 was kinda my last bird to chase. I also have lots of other thinkings but not for this forum ..... so will watch for you some days. -- Bill Booth VE3NXK Sundridge ON, Canada 79.23.37 W x 45.46.18 N FN05ns Visit my weather WebCam at http://www.almaguin.com/wxcurrent/weather.html Organ and Tissue Donation - The Gift of Life Talk to your family.

Surya Satellite-1, SS1
by Jean Marc Momple 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Hi Guys, SS1 will be deployed tomorrow from the ISS. Please help the guys in Indonesia to ascertain that their bird is alive. Frequency i 145.825 MHz APRS, the mission is sponsored by JAXA/UNOOSA and I guess that we HAM should support fully this kind of initiative by sending TLM to Satnogs, previous statement is based on my personal experience with HAMs experts and Satnogs without such help the MO-112 mission would have been a failure. Please try to capture the 1st signal of SS1 tomorrow. 73 Jean Marc (3B8DU)

What I meant to say there was only one other email thread that contained 5 replies to the message about HRU. I'm leaving NJ and heading to Florida for the remainder of the winter. I will check the AMSAT email when I get there... 73 Jeff kb2m On 1/5/2023 9:22 AM, jeff griffin via AMSAT-BB wrote: > Hi Matt, I've seen just one other email, besides the test ones.
