You guys better knock it off. Someone might get their panties in a bunch because you aren't talking strictly about satellites.

Probably right. So I shouldn't mention he left out the whole of the Moody Blues' "To our Children's Children's Children's" album.... I suppose "ten billion butterfly sneezes" is considered the ultimate in QRO.
Drifting back on topic, is Commander Chris Hadfield planning to do a sequel, perhaps as the Earth-side part with one of the current crew?

Hi Folks,
On 22 Mar, we will be commanding the satellite into transponder mode for one or two orbits so we can assess the effect of lower power being radiated by the sat on the battery temperature. We expect the sat to be put into full time transponder mode (aka amateur mode) during the first morning pass on Sat 22 Mar over the UK, ie at approximately 0930 UTC.
We are aware that the on/off timings for the transponder are not now ideal, due to seasonal changes. In the coming months the situation will get worse such that in June the transponder will only be available for very short periods in the Northern Hemisphere.
We are therefore planning to alter the schedule such that the transponder is on continuously at weekends, ie after approx 1900 UTC on Fridays, to Sunday evening. This will give radio amateurs a greater opportunity to use the transponder. Unfortunately there is no way of automating this schedule, so its maintenance will rely on the availability of command stations.
Before implementing this schedule, it is necessary that we characterise the effect of maintaining transponder mode for long periods of time. We expect that the space craft will be slightly colder than when transmitting at full power, as the heat generated inside the spacecraft by the PA will be less.
We are concerned that this lowering of the temperature may bring the battery temp lower than is advisable. Its specification is that it should not be charged if its temperature is below -5 degs, or some damage might be done to the battery. Currently the minimum temperature we see that the battery reaches is approximately -2 degs.
If you notice that the transponder is open on 22 Mar, please feel free to use it.
Please note that we have learnt from experience that commanding the sat is not an exact science, and that not all commands sent are received by the satellite, probably due to interference. We will announce on AMSAT-BB and on the FUNcube web site (www.funcube.org.uk) the progress of our tests. We would be very grateful if as many listening stations as possible receive the TLM and forward it to the warehouse on Sat 22 Mar. Thank you.

Clint,
Guess we also forgot 2 songs by the Grateful Dead off of their Built to Last Album
"Standing on the Moon" "Picasso Moon"
The Rolling Stones have "Moonlight Mile"
And some horrible song that my daughter listens to, which has the line "Starships were meant to fly"

Stretching it a little, Front 242 - "Circling Overland" (yes yes, it's about autonomous UAVs, I know...)
I guess that this Amsat BB is no longer used for ham satellite info, correct? Why are you guys not emailing direct to each other with your junk, I don't care to read, look at ,or wearing out my delete button , If you aren't into working the birds then stop posting your junk here. If Amsat wont correct this then maybe they don't need me as a member and supporter of Amsat NA. The post about music and the missing airliner do not belong here, info about working the birds should be posted here

Sand? Up *my* ass? It's more likely than you think!
Christ almighty, I'd hate to be like some of the people on this list, taking themselves - and a fun and interesting hobby, which we do for *fun* and because it's *interesting* - so seriously. It must be a horrible way to live.
Let me post something about a satellite:
"$50SAT now designated Morehead OSCAR-76
Congratulations to the $50SAT team as their satellite has received an OSCAR number, Morehead OSCAR-76, or MO-76.
$50SAT is a joint effort involving Professor Bob Twiggs, Morehead State University, Howie DeFelice, AB2S, Michael Kirkhart, KD8QBA, and Stuart Robinson, GW7HPW.
More information on the satellite can be found at http://www.50dollarsat.info/ and on the AMSAT website."
I forgot...MO-76 doesn't have a transponder on it, so that's not good enough either.
73,
Paul, N8HM
