Hello Chris, Thank you for your post. Well, whether such a workshop is too advanced or not, that's your call. But let it be known that the PICetSat II module is VERY simple, meant for the beginner and the advanced builder/user alike, and that we have at least one full ground station set up at the workshop as part of the whole system, to test, experiment with and use. All is part of a grand learning experience. The ground station includes, of course, an antenna with gain. I am hoping to find someone who can help me and the local AMSAT-DC group by selecting a 432 MHz antenna design such as the recent one featured in QST Magazine, and then kit the parts and arrange for a building and antenna test session for those who prefer that, over having a model of a simulated satellite to take home with them. Since you are living in the Pittsburg area then we would especially welcome you and encourage you at our workshop. We recognize, however, that it is a long 4-hour, 230 mile one-way trip to Greenbelt. I'm not sure of the level of AMSAT activity in NE Ohio or western PA, but we welcome those from anywhere and everywhere! The guys here are great, very friendly and helpful. You would have a wonderful day here. So, if you have any specific questions further then please shoot them to us on this amsat-dc list. Any of a number of use would be glad to offer you our advice, stories, experience, recommendations or hints.

AMSAT-DC Workshop Date Options
by Kilroy, Patrick L. (GSFC-5680) 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Here are the date options for our next local AMSAT-DC Workshop, each one a Saturday. If like last year, the session would start no earlier than 9:00 AM: April 10 April 17 April 24 May 1 May 8 May 15 Last year the workshop was held on the last Saturday of April in Greenbelt, Md. Each participant built a PICetSat II module on a generic printed circuit board (an "ETU" module) from a $90 kit. This year the module will be assembled on a custom printed circuit board (a "proto- flight" unit) which would be MUCH easier. The module transmits simple telemetry on UHF from a small high- altitude balloon using a popular microcontroller PIC chip. I would expect the same scenario for this year, and possibly add an option for an antenna construction project, but I wanted to check first before locking in the date and activity. So, my questions are simple: Would you attend our workshop to build either a PICetSat II module kit OR a 432 MHz antenna? Which one would you prefer to construct and take home? Which of these dates noted above would likely be good or bad for you to attend? Can you, or someone you know, head up the antenna-building part of the workshop with me? Any other questions? Please feel free to contact me any time. Thank you, Pat Kilroy, N8PK AMSAT Area Coordinator

Workshop Idea Hello, I am new to Satellites/Ham radio and would suggest somthing possibly for the beginner? Antennas, Rotors, Software etc.. I know most of this can be found on web, but its easier learned coming directly from persons who have operated satellites before.

Goddard Engineering Colloquium - Software Defined Radio for Space
by Daniel Schultz 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

You will need a Goddard visitor's badge if you want to attend, please contact me by Monday morning if you plan on coming. Dan Schultz ---------------------------------------------------- Monday, November 9, 2009 / 3:30 PM, Building 3 Auditorium Gregory Boegner, Jr. "Software Defined Radio for Space" ABSTRACT -- Software Defined Radios (SDRs) are becoming commonplace for terrestrial applications, from wireless routers, to first responders' communications devices and military applications. This lecture will attempt to familiarize the audience with various aspects of the SDR, how it can be used, and GSFC's involvement. The construction of a traditional transceiver will be compared to the construction of the same device with SDR technology. This comparison will point out the advantages and disadvantages of SDRs. The talk will discuss current and future examples of SDRs, built for or by NASA, including the Low Power Transceiver (LPT), Navigator GPS receiver, Electra, and the CoNNeCT project. GSFC's involvement and capabilities will be highlighted. The talk will distinguish between SDRs that are programmable during mission operations and SDRs that are programmable only prior to launch. The applicability of these two types of SDRs to current NASA operations will define the schedule, cost, and risk-benefits of SDR technology versus traditional technology. The perceived risk of flying a new technology as part of the critical spacecraft communications system presents a challenge for the inclusion of SDRs into NASA missions. SPEAKER -- Gregory J. Boegner, Jr. is a Senior Electronics Engineer at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. He is the new Microwave and Communication Systems Branch lead of the Communications, Standards, and Technology Laboratory (CSTL). He brings over 20 years of experience in the design of analog and digital systems in the fields of communications, embedded control, and digital signal processing. His most recent work includes: the implementation of a novel approach for fast acquisition and tracking of weak GPS signals (patented), and the development and demonstration (to TRL-6) of a method for inter-satellite ranging and communications. He conceptualized and provided systems engineering for a bi-static radar experiment employing GPS signals reflected from the Hubble Space Telescope on Hubble Servicing Mission 4. He was recognized as one of the "Fifty Leaders to Watch" in GPS World magazine (May 2008). He is a guest lecturer at the University of Maryland College Park on the topic of Radiometric Navigation. He has worked for the National Security Agency, for ASRC Aerospace Corporation, and as an independent consultant. He has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia.

Join us in the Crane A/B rooms between at 0600 (event starts 0630) with other early bird AMSAT attendees for a Presentation and Live Simulcast of NASA’s Return to the Moon – and an once-in-a-lifetime event of the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) impact into the Cabeus crater on the Lunar Surface estimated at 0730 EDT. The event will showcase NASA documentaries on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and LCROSS missions, the Music Video “Water on the Moon” by NASA Deputy Project Manager John Marmie and will shift to the live video stream with commentary from NASA TV shortly before the actual impact event. As the best viewing of the impact site from Earth will be available to ground based telescope located in the Mid-West and points towards the West Coast we hope to see pre-recorded images/video clips well after the impact event as it is relayed from observing communities. If such images are available, we will post them during our open session. Educators and Students can obtain digital copies of the presentation materials from the host and can review “On the Moon” Educators guide which contains learning activities for Students. *In collaboration with NASA

Join us in the Crane A/B rooms between at 0630 with other early bird AMSAT attendees for a Presentation and Live Simulcast of NASA’s Return to the Moon – and an once-in-a-lifetime event of the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) impact into the Cabeus crater on the Lunar Surface estimated at 0730 EDT. The event will showcase NASA documentaries on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and LCROSS missions, the Music Video “Water on the Moon” by NASA Deputy Project Manager John Marmie and will shift to the live video stream with commentary from NASA TV shortly before the actual impact event. As the best viewing of the impact site from Earth will be available to ground based telescope located in the Mid-West and points towards the West Coast we hope to see pre-recorded images/video clips well after the impact event as it is relayed from observing communities. If such images are available, we will post them during our open session. Educators and Students can obtain digital copies of the presentation materials from the host and can review “On the Moon” Educators guide which contains learning activities for Students. *In collaboration with NASA
