Re: Greencube status?

No schedule as far as I know. It was off for a couple of days around the 13th of May but it was 'reset'? and back to normal by the 15th. It's a little unclear who can uplink commands to GreenCube / IO-117. The owners are S5Labs, but their primary mission was concluded last fall.AMSAT Italy are also listed as partners, but I'm not sure how far that involvement goes. I wondered if anyone on the list is decoding telemetry. The battery voltage is normally 8.2V. A quick look at the tlm may reveal if there is an issue, or if the satellite has been commanded to telemetry only. 73 David G0MRF -----Original Message----- From: David Spoelstra via AMSAT-BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> I got on Greencube for the first time on Wednesday and made a bunch of contacts. On Friday Greencube was only sending telemetry and is still in telemetry only mode. Is it normal for the digipeater to be off for several days at a time? Is there a schedule? 73,-David, N9KT

These include a magnetorquer-based ADCS, a higher quality camera than on previous Sapling missions, and reaction wheels. The satellite will be either a 1U or a 2U spacecraft. Sapling Magnifica is an Amateur Radio mission that is entirely initiated and developed by undergraduate students, most of whom already have or are studying for their Amateur Radio license. Amateurs will be able to participate by sending commands to the satellite and receiving images in response. Research will be conducted on image downloading comparing three different modulation techniques: FSK, LoRa, and FLRC. Amateurs will be able to receive images and, if all goes well, take an image on command. Downlinks have been coordinated on 437.400 MHz and 2427.00 MHz.

The MRC-100 is the successor to the SMOG-1 CubeSat which was launched in March 2021. The satellite is named to honoring the 100th year anniversary of the HA5MRC Ham Radio Club at the Budapest University of Technology. To help with decoding the Telemetry on the CubeSat, an RTL-SDR based telemetry receiver was created and an installation script for Raspberry Pi's and Linux PC's which installs OpenWebRX along with the satellite receiver software. The satellite should be receivable with a simple satellite antenna, such as a handheld Yagi, Turnstile, Dipole or quadrifilar-helix antenna. It will be transmitting telemetry at 436.720 MHz. If you have a dish and tracking equipment for it, there is also a high speed downlink at 2267.5 MHz. Like the original SMOG-1, the satellite carries a sensor that is designed to measure human caused electromagnetic pollution. It also carries a camera and an AIS receiver for tracking marine vessels.

Re: ?TEVEL-3,4,5

This radio can receive on one band while transmitting on another, so I was able to hear myself come back down the bird without any trouble.With the mobile setup, the satellites have to be passing over head in order to work them. The pass is usually about 10 minutes from start to finish. If the bird is passing west or east of me, I can kind of hear it and kind of make contact but the signal is far to unstable using a vertical only antenna.I hope one of these weekends when I do not have much going on, try and work the satellites with my portable 3 element VHF/5 element beam.Bob CarterMidAtlantic-Engineering-Service L.L.C.FCC Licensee:KC4QLP - WQJK414 - WRFT769 - RR00096040 ---- On Sat, 10 Jun 2023 01:11:03 -0400 david.greenberg wrote --- > Hi Bob, > Thanks for the report, very interesting.I assume that you were not able to hear yourself?Using a simplex radio. > 73,David 4X1DG > > > נשלח מה-Galaxy שלי > > -------- הודעה מקורית --------מאת: Bob Carter - MidAtlantic Engineering Service LLC bcarter(a)midatlanticengineeringservice.com> תאריך: 10.6.2023 06:55 (GMT+02:00) אל: david.greenberg(a)bezeqint.net עותק: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org נושא: Re: [AMSAT-BB] TEVEL-3,4,5 > Amazing satellites. > I've been able to make a few contracts while mobile in FN23 (Little Falls NY area)...using a BTECH radio and a vertical Diamond antenna.
