This was an important week for ARISSat program.
The ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf V satellite passed the vibration tests this week. Documents needed for the Phase 2 Safety Reveiw were sent to the committee for the NASA Safety Review scheduled for Oct 12 & 13, 2010. We are planning on crating the two satellites (flight and backup) next week and shipping them to NASA Houston for shipment to Russia.
Thank you to all the team members that have worked so diligently over the life of the project and especially the last few weeks to get the satellites flight ready and prepared to ship.
Gould, WA4SXM AMSAT ARISSat Project Manager
This is fantastic new, Gould! Congratulations to all involved.

I agree with Mark: This is great news!
Thank you to all of the members of the team. The hardware and software components developed for ARISSat-1 should be good building blocks for future LEO/MEO/HEO opportunities. Lessons learned from this deployment will directly apply to longer duration flights.
I look forward to hearing the presentations at the AMSAT Symposium and reading more details in the AMSAT Journal.

Heartiest congrats from over here as well...I hope someone has been keeping a log of the "lessons learnt" for the benefit of the next generation of satellite builders. I know, from experience, how important such a log can be:)

Congratulations to the ARISSat-1 Team!
ARISSat-1 will be the presented in detail during the Saturday morning sessions at the AMSAT 2010 Space Symposium and Annual Meeting which will be held on Friday, October 8 through Sunday, October 10.
AMSAT Vice-President of Engineering Tony Montiero, AA2TX and Gould, WA4SXM along with ARISSat team members will host the Saturday ARRISat-1 sessions including:
+ ARISSat-1 Overview + Software Radio Technology + BPSK-1000 format for ARISSat-1 + ARISSatTLM - Software Demodulator and Telemetry Program + Calculating Available Power (Examples: ARISSat & Fox) + Power System + Assembling ARISSat-1 + ARISSat-1 Vibration Testing
The team plans to have a working ARISSat-1 prototype attending the Symposium.
ARISSat-1 design and operations are discussed in detail in these papers published in the 2010 Symposium Proceedings book:
ARISSat-1 Overview Tony Monteiro AA2TX
