Help receiving GENESIS satellites - launch Friday 3, Sept , 01:00 UTC
Dear friends,
After a year waiting, finally this Friday 3 at 01:00 UTC our digital GENESIS satellites will be launched from Vanderberg AFB aboard Firefly's Alpha rocket in its maiden flight. These satellites are ASK (OOK) and CW repeaters. They transmit a lot of telemetry and also 19 different CW greeting messages in english and spanish.
We would like to ask you all to please try to receive them as any information about their transmisions would be very valuable for us. These are the first satellites we build by ourselves and we need to learn everything we can of them. Waterfalls, audio USB receptions or IQ files would be very appreciated. Please send them to genesis@amsat-ea.org or to ea4gqs@amsat-ea.org. We will send you a nice QSL.
Initial keplerians are listed below. We expect to provide accurate ones a pair of days after the launch.

Dear friends,
Unfortunately, the GENESIS satellites were destroyed along with the Firefly Alpha vehicle as it suffered an anomaly when it was travelling at Mach 1 speed about two minutes after the launch. It was Firefly's first flight and it was the second attempt after the first had been aborted an hour earlier a few seconds before takeoff.
We are very proud of all the team work and very grateful for this opportunity Firefly has granted to us.
In January we will launch with SpaceX through Alba Orbital, our FM repeaters Hades and EASAT-2. We will keep you posted,
Thanks all and regards,
Felix EA4GQS - AMSAT EA

Sorry for the loss of your, and your team's, work. Thank you, and please thank your team, for all their work.
Good luck on your next flight. I know all the FM satellite lovers (like me) are anxiously awaiting the launch!

Rick,
As I mentioned to Felix in a personal mail the hard work has not been totally lost and may be this is what is probably the most important, the team has learn many things such has building a bird, integrate it with the launcher etc.., Actually this is the more important, the learnings and capacity building.
We may fail in many missions but the learning from same make us stronger for the future ones if we capture our shortcomings, in this case the launcher issues and I guess they will also have learn from it.
In all cases space is our greatest challenge as a specie survival and we HAM with our limited means have a role to play in this adventure thus I just hope that we will do so as when everything does not work CW goes through (Hi!)

I'm reading the book "Failure is not an option" about the history of the Mission Command Center and all the flight controllers for NASA. Wow is it great reading.
Author is Gene Kranz, the flight controller for Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo as well as Apollo-13
And YES, it is all about learning from the past to be ready for the next one.

Bob,
The Apollo 13 story has been a greet lesson for me, basically how to to make the best when all goes wrong and I used this example many times in my professional life to demonstrate how to cope in crisis situation. Leadership and down to earth logical solutions. But most important in these case of crisis is have a strong leadership and a captain on board.
About failures and learning from same I guess the SpaceX/Elon Musk experiences these days speaks more that any other ones.
My one cent additional input.

Felix,
Really sorry for the lost of your birds and I can imaging the disappointment of the team.
At least the leanings during the construction phase is not lost and this is already a great achievement.
All the best with the other birds.

Dear friends,
Unfortunately, the GENESIS satellites were destroyed along with the Firefly Alpha vehicle as it suffered an anomaly when it was travelling at Mach 1 speed about two minutes after the launch. It was Firefly's first flight and it was the second attempt after the first had been aborted an hour earlier a few seconds before takeoff.
We are very proud of all the team work and very grateful for this opportunity Firefly has granted to us.
In January we will launch with SpaceX through Alba Orbital, our FM repeaters Hades and EASAT-2. We will keep you posted,
Thanks all and regards,

After a year waiting, finally this Friday 3 at 01:00 UTC our digital GENESIS satellites will be launched from Vanderberg AFB aboard Firefly's Alpha rocket in its maiden flight. These satellites are ASK (OOK) and CW repeaters. They transmit a lot of telemetry and also 19 different CW greeting messages in english and spanish.
We would like to ask you all to please try to receive them as any information about their transmisions would be very valuable for us. These are the first satellites we build by ourselves and we need to learn everything we can of them. Waterfalls, audio USB receptions or IQ files would be very appreciated. Please send them to genesis@amsat-ea.org mailto:genesis@amsat-ea.org or to ea4gqs@amsat-ea.org mailto:ea4gqs@amsat-ea.org. We will send you a nice QSL.
Initial keplerians are listed below. We expect to provide accurate ones a pair of days after the launch.

Felix and the rest of our friends at AMSAT-EA and /Firefly/ Aerospace,
We share your sadness at the loss of the Alpha vehicle and Genesis spacecraft.
We look forward to the launch of Hades and EASAT-2
