Historical Data download for FOX-1A?
Is it possible to get some sort of download for the Historical Telemetry downlinked by Fox-1A? It would be interesting to study its life in space.

Bill,
You can download all of the data for any particular satellite with FoxTelem, using the "fetch server data" menu item. I would suggest setting up/switching to a separate FoxTelem data directory for that so the info doesn't overwrite your own captured data and can be left alone to play with.
Your analysis is of interest to engineering and many others I am sure, once you have studied the data and come to some conclusions or hypotheses you may want to consider presenting it in an AMSAT Journal article.

Is there a document on how the CSV files are formatted? (I can't seem to find any information on what columns are what.)

What CSV files are you getting from FoxTelem. As I recall they all have a first line that has the name of the field. Or do you mean translation from downlinked units to standard units (like volts, ma, degrees, etc)? I'm not sure there is a doc, but there probably should be. Let us know what you need to know.

Actually they are .log files but there the data in the FOXDB folder. None of them have headers for the columns. But now that I think about it they are probably the same as the columns in the tables when you actually run FoxTelem.

I know you can export CSV files from any graph that you make. There is a button on the graph. I hear what you are saying about the FOXDB contents. I'm not sure if you can export the full monty, but I suspect the files in FOXDB may differ from satellite to satellite. I will ask the developer and let you know.

Hi Bill,
You can download all of the data for AO-85 from this link: http://amsat.org/tlm/ao85/serverlogs.tar.gz That contains the raw data in CSV format. For Fox-1A the conversions are defined in the back of the manual for FoxTelem.
As Jerry said, your best bet might be to use FoxTelem. You can save the data as a CSV file from any graph. Even if it plots multiple channels. That allows you to save converted data in human readable form and do further analysis in another program.
I'm more than happy to walk you through how to do this and help extracting or converting the data. Let me know how I can help.

Thank you very much! Not at my computer at the moment but i will take a look in a bit.
Btw is there a way for FoxTelem to be told what time it is to allow to process passes shortly after they occur? (I plan on trying to automate pulling data from SatNOGS for the still operating Foxes.)
Also not totally related but any idea where i can look for old TLE for Fox-1A. I normally go to SpaceTrack to get thay sort of stuff but because Fox-1A doesnt exist there its not going to help much.

I looked it up by Norad ID. From what i know its TLE are opennly distrobuted by space tracked because it went up with some military stuff. Same reason it was never on CelesTrack.

AO-85 and a couple of others are not available in the normal distributions. AMSAT keeps its own archives:

Toward the bottom you can get the Keps for AO-85 in approximately weekly intervals.
