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.

Brentwood Elementary School of Engineering, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
January24, 2023—Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has receivedschedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact between astronauts aboard theInternational Space Station (ISS) and students at the Brentwood ElementarySchool of Engineering located in Raleigh, NC. ARISS conducts 60-80 of these special amateur radio contacts each yearbetween students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses aboardthe ISS.
Brentwood Magnet Elementary School of Engineering is locatednear downtown Raleigh and is part of the Wake County Public School System’sMagnet Programs. The school tries to inspire students’ interest in STEM,especially for those groups underrepresented in the STEM field. The schoolprovides special engineering classes so that students are able to learn about engineeringevery day. The engineering challenges that students participate in are also relatedto their classes in language arts, math, science, and social studies. Forinstance, when pre-Kindergarten students are reading the story of the threelittle pigs, students work through a cycle of the engineering/design process toengineer a house that will withstand the huffing and puffing of the big badwolf. In preparation for this ARISS contact, students have completed hands-on activitiesin the school’s MakerSpaces Labs that included coding space-related robots, andengineering rockets and parachutes that would meet certain NASArecommendations. Students have also met with a ham radio operator, guestspeaker, and member of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society.
This will be a telebridge Contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask theirquestions of Astronaut Koichi Wakata, amateur radio call sign KI5TMN. Thedownlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHZ and may be heard bylisteners that are within the ISS-footprint that also encompasses thetelebridge station.
The ARISS amateur radio ground station(telebridge station) for this contact is in Aartselaar, Belgium. The amateurradio volunteer team at the ground station will use the callsign ON4ISS, toestablish and maintain the ISS connection.
TheARISS radio contact is scheduled for January 26, 2023 at 12:31 pm EST (NC) (17:31:24UTC,11:31 am CST, 10:31 am MST, 9:31 am PST).

Today, Jan-22, 33 years ago was launched LO-19, LUSAT, 1st Argentine Satellite, till now emitting on 437.125 KHz.
A special Certificate to celebrate is being granted by radio from Jan-21 to Jan-29, thru many collaborating stations.
Details: http://amsat.org.ar?f=33http://qrz.com/db/LU7AAhttps://www.qrzcq.com/call/LU7AA (last in english)
LUSAT could be tracked/seen thru http://amsat.org.ar/pass?satx=lusat
Deeply appreciation to AMSAT-NA than in the eighties develop AO-16 & LO-19 novel pacsat protocol and lead on design and launch.
Thanks!

Yes, was just reporting that to the telemetry team...nice captures,
SatNOGs! . I agree and confirm. There are a couple of frames after this
one that is time stamped. Maybe those can be decoded for some
temps/voltages? Note--the satellite clock is 30 mins FAST, so the times
match if you apply that correction.

IARU Coordinates Two New Satellites
The IARU has coordinated frequencies for the following two upcoming satellites:
+ ROSEYCUBESAT-1
Orbital Solutions Monaco is the sponsor for ROSEYCUBESAT-1, a 1U CubeSat platform from ISISPACE with a very simple mission for students: taking simple pictures, providing telemetry and teaching radio amateur activities. Students can learn how to use an Amateur Radio antenna provided by the Vaudois Amateur Radio Club to download telemetry data, photos from the satellite and send commands to the satellite. Amateur Radio operators can participate in the mission because the satellite carries a built-in TRXVU transponder mode. A UHF downlink using 1k2/9k6 BPSK with AX 25 on 436.825 MHz together with a transponder uplink on 145.850 MHz have been coordinated. Planning a SpaceX launch from Vandenberg into a 550km SSO in February 2023.
+ KASHIWA
China University of Technology is the sponsor for a 1U CubeSat spacecraft with the following features.
* APRS - When KASHIWA receives an APRS query from a ground station, it returns an ACK signal. The satellite logs the call sign and reception time of the received query. The log data is transmitted from the satellite to the ground station by a UHF downlink. The log is then published on the website. The APRS operation period will be from one week after orbit insertion until deorbit, almost one and half years.
* "MoG' (Music of Geomagnetic) KASHIWA transmits VHF analog FM signal containing the analog audio sound generated from geomagnetic data. The geomagnetic field observation data will also be transmitted in the data by UHF.
* KASHIWA has two cameras onboard. They will take ISS (International Station), Ocean, and Land day and night. The field-of-view of two cameras is 194 degrees. Image data from the two cameras will be stored in flash memory then divided and downloaded by the UHF downlink and then restored by the ground station.
Telemetry using 4k8 GMSK with downlinks on 145.825 MHz, 437.375 MHz and 437.380 MHz have been coordinated. Planning a deployment from the ISS in October 2023. More info at https://sites.google.com/view/gardens-02/english_ver/home?pli=1.

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ In 2013, Amazon launched AmazonSmile to make it easier for customers to support their favorite charities. After almost a decade of running AmazonSmile, Amazon decided that with so many eligible organizations - more than 1 million globally - their ability to have an impact was often spread too thin. Thus, Amazon will be winding down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023. Until this date, customer purchases made via AmazonSmile will continue to accrue funds for their charity as normal. After that, Amazon will provide each charity with a one-time payment equivalent to three months of payments based on what it accrued in 2022. [AMSAT thanks AmazonSmile for the above information.]
+ It has been quite a week for the UK space industry. What was meant to mark a new era of space launch has sadly been put on hold after Virgin Orbit’s launch failure just over a week ago. The mission, “Start Me Up,” suffered a failure on Monday Jan. 9, and an investigation is underway to find the result of anomaly. Virgin Orbit has said it hopes to return to the newly inaugurated Spaceport Cornwall in the future. More information at https://tinyurl.com/ANS-022-Virgin-Orbit [ANS thanks SatelliteToday.com for the above information.]
+ The global space economy grew to $424 billion in 2022. The space industry is in a major period of growth defined by attracting new customers, breaking into new industries and courting new investment, but it's not yet clear how much the industry will grow in the coming years. The space economy grew 8% since 2021, despite facing major economic head winds caused by supply chain issues lingering after pandemic lock downs, high inflation, global tensions and other factors. [ANS thanks Axios Space for the above information.]
+ Crew members aboard the International Space Station (ISS) this week moved astronaut Frank Rubio's seat liner - a molding designed to fit his body and make spaceflight more comfortable - from the leaking Soyuz capsule to the Crew Dragon attached to the space station. That change will allow the Crew Dragon to act as a "lifeboat" if Rubio needs to come back to Earth in a hurry. Moving Rubio to the Crew Dragon would help reduce the heat within the Soyuz if it needs to be used by Sergey Prokopyev and Dimitri Petelin for an emergency Earth return. Once the new, replacement Soyuz arrives at the station next month, Rubio's lining will be moved to that ship instead. [ANS thanks Axios Space for the above information.]
