CAS-6 Status?
by Hasan al-Basri 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Starting to worry. Have seen no indication that anyone (even world wide now), has heard even a peep from CAS-6. Does anyone know anything? The announcement was on the 20th I think and I haven't seen anything other than speculation since. As mentioned in my other post, there were a couple of posts from a 7 that were most likely bogus and people whose calls I recognize that have posted to the status page recently are confirming my own experience, no reception. How can a new launch be met with such deafening silence? No reports and no announcements from the powers that be? Maybe it's all on twitter or facebook. :-) 73, N0AN Hasan

Falconsat-3 telemetry server down
by Hans BX2ABT 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Of course, this has to happy during Christmas: I noticed that since the 24th of December my (and everybody else's) telemetry is not getting logged into the FS-3 telemetry server anymore. SATNOGS is still getting telemetry in, so PSGS is working fine. Can anybody hit the reset switch after the holidays? 73 de Hans BX2ABT

ARISS News Release No. 19-18 Dave Jordan, AA4KN ARISS PR aa4kn(a)amsat.org Dec. 24, 2019 SSTV Event Planned for Late December ARISS is planning an SSTV event featuring commemorative images. This event is currently scheduled to begin on December 28, 2019 at 11:00 UTC and ends at 18:20 UTC on January 1, 2020. Please make note that sometimes changes may occur in the crew work schedule that could affect our SSTV transmission dates and times, so frequently check our ARISS Facebook and Twitter accounts shown below for any updates before and throughout the event. Transmissions will be sent at 145.800 MHz FM in the SSTV mode PD-120. Once received, images can be posted and viewed by the public at http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php and you can receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting your image. See https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/ for details. Also for simplicity, we have added a new information tab for SSTV events, under the General Contacts pulldown menu at www.ariss.org . About ARISS: Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.
