WMAA ARISS Contact Successful!
by Doug Papay 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Hello All, The West Michigan Aviation Academy in Grand Rapids, MI had a successful ARISS contact with Dr. Sultan Al Neyadi aboard the International Space Station yesterday afternoon. The students were able to ask, and Dr. Al Neyadi answered all 15 of the student's questions before LOS. I hope many of you were able to listen direct or view the livestream via the ARISS YouTube channel. If you didn't have a chance to tune in during the contact you can view a recording of the event at https://www.youtube.com/arisslive . I have one request: If you had the opportunity to listen to the contact direct and have a recording that includes Dr. Neyadi's final/sign-off transmission, would you please share it with me? Thanks & 73, Doug K8DP

Re: Sixteen new amateur satellites in orbit from Space-X Transporter 7 launch

Many of these satellites just use up amateur frequencies without any access to amateurs, or some rule that says "two daya a month when you are not looking". Can IARU or whoever take a stab at formualting a better policy that provides, consistent, predictable and open access to these birds thay use up our spectrum?

ARISS conducts 60-80 of these special amateurradio contacts each year between students around the globe and crew memberswith ham radio licenses aboard the ISS. Agrupamento de Escolas João de Barros (AEJB), established in2013, is located in Corroios, Seixal and consists of five schools frompre-school to secondary education with an enrollment of 2,458. AEJB offers coursesin the areas of: Science and Technology, Socioeconomic Sciences, Visual Arts/ArtsWorkshop, Languages and Humanities. AEFJ also offers two professional coursesin the field of computer technologies. Secondary School of Baixa da Banheira is a public, VocationalEducation and Training school (VET) (with about 1600 enrolled) locatedin Moita, near the capital city of Lisbon. Their VET curriculum includes: IT,Sports, Cooking and Catering, Logistics, Tourism and Pharmacy Techniciancourses. The school offers a "Centro Qualifica" for adults who alsohave multinational backgrounds. Ham radio operator members of the Amateur Radio Association inPortugal (REP) are supporting this ARISS contact with the necessary radioequipment, radio operation and ISS tracking. This will be a direct contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask their questions ofAstronaut Steve Bowen, amateur radio call sign KI5BKB. The downlink frequencyfor this contact is 145.800 MHz and may be heard by listeners that are withinthe ISS-footprint that also encompasses the relay ground station. The amateur radio ground station for this contactis in Moita, Portugal. Amateur radio operators using call sign CS5SS, willoperate the ground station to establish and maintain the ISS connection. TheARISS radio contact is scheduled for April 22, 2023 at 1:06:44 pm WEST (Portugal)(12:06:44 UTC, 8:06 am EDT, 7:06 am CDT,6:06 am MDT, 5:06 am PDT). _______________________________ As time allows, students will ask thesequestions: 1.

Is your digestion affected by the absence ofgravity? 5. How do you communicate with your families? 6. What are the effects that happen to anastronaut who has been in space for a long period of time when they arrive backto Earth? 7. How long does each mission take? 8. Is your blood circulation affected by thechange in gravity? 9. What does the inside of the ISS looklike? 10. Was it difficult to get used to living there? 11. Do you recycle your waste? 12. How does the space station keep orbiting theEarth? 13. What projects are you currently developing? 14. If one of you gets ill, what do you do? 15. What was the most amazing thing you have everseen in space? 16. How do you spend your free time? 17. What are the changes that you can seehappening due to climate changes? 18. What do you fear the most up there? 19. Do you consider yourselves as heroes? 20. If you get emotional and cry what happens toyour tears?

In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur SatelliteCorporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS NationalLab-Space Station Explorers, Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) andNASA’s Space Communications and Navigation program (SCaN). The primary goal ofARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, the arts,and mathematics topics. ARISS does this by organizing scheduled contacts viaamateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students. Before andduring these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities takepart in hands-on learning activities tied to space, space technologies, andamateur radio.

(***) https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf ####################################################################################################################################### 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.

Apparently you missed that I already identified four satellites yesterday. That is why you already see these on CelesTrak. INSPIRE-SAT 7 is object 56211 (2023-054AK), frequency: 435.2002 MHz and 437.4100 MHz. ROSEYCUBESAT 1 is object 56212 (2023-054AL), frequency: 436.8252 MHz. KILICSAT is object 56181 (2023-054D), uncoordinated frequency: 436.9000 MHz. CIRBE is object 56188 (2023-054L), frequency: 437.2500 MHz. 73, Nico PA0DLO On 20-04-2023 00:08, Joseph B.

Celestrak attempt is pretty interesting. Here[1] is a comparison with observed data[2] from SatNOGS Network and SatNOGS Community strf observations. In some cases matches are close to observations data, in some other are pretty off. However such an analysis is useful for some of the satellites that haven't been received. 73, fredy [1] https://community.libre.space/t/spacex-f9-transporter-7-2023-04-15-06-47-ut… [2] https://community.libre.space/t/spacex-f9-transporter-7-2023-04-15-06-47-ut… On 4/20/23 01:08, Joseph B.

Re: Keps for Inspire-sat7

You can check this list[1], Inspire-sat7 seems to be OBJECT 23054AK(56211). Just have in mind that these TLE sets are not assigned according to space-track.org, this means that the OBJECT described by these TLE sets may change. In other words, 56211 is not a definite identification for Inspire-sat7, but for now is the best to follow. 73, fredy [1] https://community.libre.space/t/spacex-f9-transporter-7-2023-04-15-06-47-ut… On 4/19/23 17:56, Jack Blake via AMSAT-BB wrote: > Anybody got keps data for Inspire-sat7 that was recently launched > > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.
