These articles originally appeared in The AMSAT Journal from 2019 to 2021. Check out the compilation at https://www.amsat.org/introduction-to-working-amateur-satellites/ Unfortunately, because both satellites and URLs change over time, the currentness of information such as this can quickly be overcome by events. However, the tools and techniques outlined in Keith’s beginner series are still very much applicable to operating on current and future AMSAT satellites. For the latest information about satellites currently in orbit, please consult the AMSAT Communications Satellites page. More detailed information can be found in AMSAT's Getting Started with Amateur Satellites book which can be purchased on the AMSAT store.

The satellite station manager, Andreas, N6NU, reports the following preparation activities for the TX5S DXpedition to Clipperton Island: Andreas has made his first QSO’s made on the IO-117 (GreenCube) Satellite. This satellite has passes that last over an hour and has a huge footprint since it is in an almost 6,000 KM orbit. He has an 11 Element 70CM antenna, RAS Mini AZ/EL rotator with Green Heron Controller, Icom IC-9100H, Rigblaster TI-5000 and Icom AG-35 mast mounted pre-amp. The 6ft mast uses a home brew base. The next step is to configure an Icom IC-9700 as backup. Then on to RS-44 and 6m and 23 cm EME. He appreciates the help and advice offered by several AMSAT members.

It has been many years since there were more than one or two AMSAT Field Day submissions from outside North America. This year, immediately after of Field Day ended, there were two submissions from Japan. The satellites worked well. The FM Tevel family of satellites and GreenCube seemed to be popular. SO-50, AO-91, and the International Space Station were also busy with their FM single channels. RS-44 was quite tame, with plenty of bandwidth for many to make contacts, whether they were sitting on a frequency and calling CQ or using the hunt-and-pounce method. More data is on the way. For updates, visit the AMSAT website. [ANS thanks Bruce Paige, KK5DO, AMSAT Awards Manager, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Communication Problems on the Moon The chilly relationship between the U.S. and China on Earth could raise safety risks in space and the specter of competition on the Moon as both nations aim to send people to the lunar surface in the coming years. China and the U.S. — the two most dominant players in space today — do not generally collaborate on space research and exploration, and they have limited communication in orbit and beyond. But both nations are separately sending missions to the Moon. NASA expects its astronauts will be back on the surface of the Moon as early as 2025, and China has plans for its taikonauts to land on the lunar surface by around 2030. The Chinese military is refusing to use established communications channels that could help to prevent an unintended crisis on Earth. Recent close calls between U.S. and Chinese crafts at sea and in the air underscore the risk. Lack of transparency into activities has framed the U.S-China relationship in space for decades, with some key exceptions, including coordinating orbiters at Mars and NASA collaborating with China during one of the nation's robotic Moon missions. The Chinese government has a fundamentally different way of engaging in the world that makes open communication difficult, Dean Cheng, a China analyst, tells Axios. The government is "not accustomed to thinking of alliance structures and cooperation," he added. NASA will likely miss its 2025 Artemis landing date, with technical and budgetary delays pushing the first crewed landing to later in the decade. China, however, "will put a human crew on the Moon by 2030," Cheng said. "If that is their intent, then it will happen." Communication could be particularly important on the lunar surface because China and the U.S. are both planning to land missions in the same part of the Moon, at the lunar south pole. While those initial landing zones will likely be widely separated, future missions could lead to new questions about space traffic management, communications satellites and even the primary language used in those activities at the Moon. [ANS thanks Axios Space for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Big Bang Theory Antenna Lives On An antenna that holds an important place in scientific history sits on a small parcel of land on Crawford Hill in Holmdel Township, New Jersey. The antenna is known as the Holmdel Horn Antenna, and it was built in 1959 by Bell Labs (now Nokia Bell Labs) researchers. It was originally designed to bounce radio signals off of reflective satellite balloons for long-distance communication. It worked, and the Holmdel Horn Antenna was no longer needed. Two Bell Labs astronomer employees, Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson, received permission in 1965 to use the antenna to search for radio transmissions in outer space. They pointed the antenna toward what was considered a quiet area, but what they discovered was anything but quiet. They discovered Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, which provided evidence for the Big Bang Theory. Now, there is a historical marker at the site, but there has been some dispute as to who owns the antenna and surrounding land. In mid-June 2023, the Holmdel Township Committee voted unanimously to approve resolutions that will begin the process of acquiring two of the three parcels that make up the Crawford Hill property. The township committee is leaving the third parcel to be part of the redevelopment toward preserving Crawford Hill as a public park to celebrate the horn antenna's place in scientific history.

The downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide. COMPLETED: Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre, Dubai, UAE, direct via A68MBR. The ISS callsign was OR4ISS, and the crewmember was Sultan Al Neyadi, KI5VTV. The ARISS mentor was ON6TI. Contact was successful: Thursday, 2023-06-22 08:38:52 UTC with 51 degrees maximum elevation. Congratulations to the Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre students, Sultan Al Neyadi KI5VTV, and mentor ON6TI! UPCOMING: Due to summer school holidays, no contacts currently scheduled. The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} & 437.800 MHz down). 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. The packet system is also active (145.825 MHz up & down). As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios are turned off as part of the safety protocol. 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.

Historical Space Tour on the Thursday before Orlando Hamcation
by Bruce Perens 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

In the past, tours through Kennedy Space Center accessed historical space sites from the youth of many AMSAT members, including the Mercury launches and early uncrewed missions. Sadly, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center stopped offering these tours a few years ago, and I think the two tours they still offer stay on KSC rather than venturing onto Canaveral. I have arranged for a Canaveral tour on the Thursday before Orlando Hamcation at 10 AM through 2 PM, lunch or snacks will be offered between the sites. Only 9 people can be accomodated, US Citizens only and there will be a _required_ ID process before the tour, cost will be about $60 each, so reserve your spot now via email to bruce(a)perens.com . We will go to: * LC-26, LC-5, and LC-6: the (adjacent) launch sites for much early space exploration including the first crewed flights of Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. Besides walking around the pads and seeing a number of historical space exhibits there, you will be able to access the firing room and the Space Force Missile Museum. * Hangar C, where there are many restored historical space vehicles and missiles, and the Canaveral lighthouse. We will _not_ have access to the Mercury Memorial, LC-14 (restored uncrewed flights firing room), and LC-34 (mostly-torn-down site of the Apollo 1 fire), which were (at times) on the old Rise to Space tour. This is probably why Delaware North, operator of the KSC Visitor Center and its tours, no longer offers this tour. Activity on the base can force us to cancel or can change or curtail the itinerary. You may wish to tip the guide/driver, but that's up to you and not required. You may, in addition, wish to visit Kennedy Space Center and their exhibits, and the two tours they still offer; and the Sands Space History Center, which is just before the entrance to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. -- Bruce Perens K6BP
