ARISSat-1 over West Malaysia 07 Aug 0202 UTC
Dear All,
Had a 20 degree elevation pass in sunlight of ARISSat-1 over West Malaysia at 0202 UTC, 07 August 2011.
Managed to copy and forward 21 telemetry and kursk frames to the ARISSatTLM server, and this time I had SATPC32 adjust the doppler in 10 Hz steps. Although the doppler correction seems to be a bit too frequent, but it made the CW signal stay on the yellow marker fairly accurately.
However, due to fading only 21 frames were copied. I guess the copying would be better if the fading rate is reduced. Still experimenting with this mode, and hope that the above will be useful to someone. Also noticed from previous observations that it is difficult to get a lock when the satellite is in low power eclipse mode, as the TX gets turned off too quickly.
Have a great weekend to all.
