HADES-R launch expected on January 14th (TR-12)
by Félix Páez 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

Hello everyone, This email is to inform you that the launch of our HADES-R satellite is scheduled for this January 14th on the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission, from Vanderberg in California (USA). The working frequencies are the following: *HADES-R:* Uplink: 145.925 MHz, Modes: FM voice (without subtone) and FSK 200 bps, AFSK, AX.25, APRS 1200 / 2400 bps Downlink: 436.888 MHz downlink, Modes: FM voice, CW, FSK 200 bps-2400 bps Telemetry will be working initially at 200 bps. The repeater will not be active at the moment, until the corresponding command is sent, something that may take a few weeks until the correct operation of the satellite is verified. Please note that on the day of launch our satellite will not be ejected, but the orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) in which it travels, so it will not be released into space for another week or so. The description of transmissions, the demodulator/decoder for Windows and example wavs to practice reception are available on the website: https://www.amsat-ea.org/proyectos/ Direct links here: *Transmission descriptions:* https://www.amsat-ea.org/app/download/13945587/AMSAT+EA+-+Transmissions+des… Spanish version: https://www.amsat-ea.org/app/download/13853298/AMSAT+EA+-+Descripci%C3%B3n+… *Andy UZ7HO's Soundmodem demodulator and decoder (WIndows):* https://www.amsat-ea.org/app/download/13947006/HADES-R_HADES-ICM__UZ7HO_Sou… (it works for HADES-R, HADES-ICM, UNNE-1, MARIA-G and GENESIS-M): *Wav file with telemetry, to test Andy demodulator:* https://www.amsat-ea.org/app/download/13945599/AMSAT_EA-HADES-ICM_sample_te… Please, for any questions, use the email address satcontrol(a)amsat-ea.org Best regards.

Hi everyone, BGS ARPIT - an Amateur Radio payload jointly developed by SJCIT, UPARC (Upagrah Amateur Radio Club-VU2URC) & AMSAT-INDIA was launched on 30th December 2024 by India's PSLV C-60 launch vehicle. This payload is fastened to the last stage of the PSLV engine. This spent last stage of PSLV is often used as an 'Experimental Platform' called 'POEM' (PSLV Orbital Experimental Module). This is the 4th such experimental module. Since 31st December, BGS ARPIT is made 'ON' only over India and we have been receiving very good and encouraging signal reception reports, Today, for the first time, it is decided to turn it 'ON' over Europe and keep it on for a while. We request our Amateur Radio fraternity over Europe and along its footprint path to look out for the signals. We would greatly appreciate the signal reception report. Time 'Switch ON' : 11:15 UT Time 'Switch OFF' : 13:15 UT Object : POEM-4 Payload : BGS ARPIT NORAD No : 62461 Frequency : 145.870 MHz (IARU Coordinated) Mode : NFM Data : 1. Pre recorded audio message : 2. Greeting Message & limited TM in APRS Packet format : 3. Pre loaded SSTV Images This payload will be turned 'ON' over other parts of the Globe, in the coming days.

Need options for SSTV and SSDV on AMSAT Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page
by Jon 07 Jan '25

07 Jan '25

AMSAT Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page at https://www.amsat.org/status/index.php has crowd sourced information on amateur satellites. I think it is time to update with more information. For example, AO-123, and some other satellites have provision for SSDV (Slow Scan Digital TV) transmissions. Several other satellites have analog SSTV (Slow Scan TV) transmissions. A separate option on the AMSAT Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page is available only for ISS-SSTV. For all other satellites, the only thing you can submit is 'Telemetry/Beacon only'. It will be nice to add separate options for SSTV and SSDV for satellites with that capability. That will help operators look for those transmissions and submit them to the page. 73 Jon, VU2JO
