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.

Just tweeted: Expect Falconsat-3 to be ON beginning around 0118utc 7 Jan 2023 for about 24 hrs. Reentry is expected around 24 Jan 2023, so not much time left. Will try to leave TX on for last 2-3 days to capture as much telemetry as possible during its final orbits. 73, Mark L. Hammond [N8MH] AMSAT Director and Command Station

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.

About ARISS: Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARISS Contact Applications (Europe, Africa and the Middle East) Schools and Youth organizations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East interested in setting up an ARISS radio contact with an astronaut on board the International Space Station are invited to submit an application from September to October and from February to April. Please refer to details and the application form at www.ariss-eu.org/school-contacts.

Yono, Congratulation for the successful deployment of SS-1. I was out at sea today but my station up. I can see that I only received garbage today but just a moment ago received the following: 60A060A0A66260A4A66092A6A6E082A0A4A682A86103F02776261C6C201C53495D41524953532D496E7465726E6174696F6E616C2053706163652053746174696F6E3D0D Could you please advise if a valid frame for SS-1? 73 Jean Marc (3B8DU) > On Jan 6, 2023, at 6:38 AM, P.

Finally they got back in the last 2 years to finalize the payload, had the payload verification with ORARI team and shipped the payload to Japan (JAXA), integrated with other payload and shipped to the US, then lifted up on Space-X CRS-26 rocket to ISS last November and now today is the deployment date from the Kibo Module of ISS. > > Apologize for the long posting but I got really excited today as the deployment of SS-1 Nano Satellite is coming up shortly. > > > 73 de Yono Adisoemarta – YD0NXX / N5SNN > > ORARI HQ – Head of Satellite Division > > > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.
