For those tracking the recently launched (March 9th) FalconSat-3 satellite, it appears that after less then a week on orbit Space- Track has identified it as follows: Catalog Number: 30776 International Designator: 2007-006E FALCONSAT-3 1 30776U 07006E 07072.17947697 .00000382 00000-0 31138-4 0 97 2 30776 035.4336 074.6436 0001633 325.9510 034.1076 15.02652019 605

FalconSat 3 Keps?
by Keith N4ZQ 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

One of these objects being tracked by Space-Track, from a launch on March 9, might be FalconSat 3. Only time will tell and Space-Track figures out who is who. Can't wait for the 26 payload Dnepr launch on 27 March to see how long it takes to sort things out. Anyone know what mode FalconSat will come up in, when it does? I figured they be testing all it's capabilities this week. Keep an ear tuned to 435.100. Especially when FalconSat 3 is in mutual view of Florida and the Air Force Academy, 14 miles north of Colorado Springs Colorado. Happy Satellite Tracking and SWLing...

Atlas-V/STP-1/Falconsat-3 launch
by Andrew Glasbrenner 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

We had a great view of the launch tonight. The Atlas is dimmer than the Shuttle or Delta launches, but a nice crimson color. We talked about the launch on the Florida AMSAT net at 730PM, and had several guys outside for both the 88 degree pass of AO-51 at 830 and watching the launch at 1010 while discussing it on the local repeater system. Good Luck Falconsat-3. 73, Drew KO4MA

We have receieved official word that we will be launching our CubeSats on March 26, 2007 at approximately 10:30pm PST. There will be 26 spacecraft on this cluster launch, with the primary payload being EgyptSat. The CubeSat's on this launch are:P-POD 1: AeroCube-2 (The Aerospace Corporation)CP4 (California Polytechnic State University)CSTB 1 (The Boeing Company)P-POD 2:MAST (Tethers Unlimited)P-POD 3:CP3 (California Polytechnic Stat University)CAPE1 (University of Louisiana)Libertad-1 (University of Bogota)We will be posting updates on our website as they occur. We are encouraging the CubeSat developers on this launch to help us post information and updates on our webpage and to be available on our discussion boards. Not all of the satellites will be beaconing, but we will have the frequencies of the ones that are posted. If you have a groundstation, we'd like your help in identifying the satellites once they are deployed. We will post the TLE's online for tracking.Some of this data may still change, so please continue to check our website for updates. We appreciate everyone's support, and hope that you are all as excited as we are about this launch!Lori BrooksCubeSat Program Manager _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________

What is a recommended computer interface/s (preferably less expensive, but reliable) for interfacing a Yaseu FT-736R with a Yaseu G5500 rotor system? Dave, AA4KN
