I heard KKS-1 or possibly Kagayaki briefly on an omni antenna at ~511Z here near Tampa, Florida. I'll go back to the recording and see is I can determine which one it is...10khz is sort of close together.

Based on this graphic, http://www.jaxa.jp/countdown/f15/overview/sequence_e.html , and some comparisons with satellites in similar orbits, I'm going to guess about 12:00 Midnight EST for AOS in Florida.

Congratulations to JAXA and all the satellite teams.

Well, I feel stupid. They are in order of launch, it was the separate numbering series of the different countries that threw me.

Nevermind. Bob

They are all listed on the front page of www.amsat.org.

I use the STATUS page to help my students track and find satellites but the arrangement of that page has always been frustrating to me for two items that I think could be fixed to improve the user friendlyness.

1. Put them in launch/oscar-number order. The present order

seems random.

2. Put both their NAME and oscar number in the table. With so

many cubesats, their Name is more meaningful than their oscar number as to remembering function. List both, let the user

use

what he remembers.

3. Include all satellites that are in the amateur band,

whether

they are OSCARS or not.

If we want to reach out to students and others about the excitement of space, the AMSAT web page is a great resource. But the few tweaks above would make it much more user

friendly.

Thanks Bob, WB4AAPR USNA Satellite Lab

Going back over the recording, I heard STARS on ~437.305 at about 0510Z. CW rate is faster than the other signal I heard, and not enough to get more than a few numbers out of. I couldn't find an email address to send a report

to that team. Anyone have one?

Hi all,

Hi all, Just here around 1030 UTC I think I heard:

KKS-1, 437.385 MHz, CW. Slow CW, signal strong

STARS, 437,275 MHz, CW fast, Still heard after the prediction from the PRISM keps.

PRISM, 437.250 MHz, Slow CW, not as strong as the other two.

All manual tuning - but used PRISM and Objects A,B,C to point the antenna in the (right) direction.

Now of to work :-) 73 OZ1MY Ib ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Rupprecht" [email protected] To: "'Andrew Glasbrenner'" [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 7:16 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: JAXA launch
