SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

BID: $ANS-175.02
Wouter Jan Ubbels, PE4WJ, Delfi-C3's project manager of electronic
systems and communications at the Delft University of Technology
in the Netherlands reports that their satellite is being integrated
and tested in preparation for launch in September or October, 2007.
The Delfi team has posted photos of the satellite integration work
at: http://www.delfic3.nl/photoblog/.
Delfi-C3 is a 3-unit CubeSat carrying redundant radio transceivers,
connected to the antenna system by a hybrid combiner. Both trans-
ceivers consist of a UHF front end, a command receiver, linear IF,
telemetry generator and the final stages capable of 400mW RF power.
Delfi-C3 contains no batteries because it's primary mission is to
perform a solar cell and sun sensor experiment so the spacecraft will
only be active when in sunlight.
The first three months of the mission will perform the science
mission, in which the spacecraft will be transmitting 1200 bit/s
AX.25 telemetry on the primary or backup VHF downlink. (See
http://www.delfic3.nl for frequency information.) Telemetry will be
transmitted once per second.
A Java application will be available for download from the website
to display telemetry in real time, and upload it to Delfi's central
server in Delft. A soundcard application in Java is planned to be
available to decode the BPSK signal. The MixW software package will
also be compatible with the telemetry signal.
After three months, the linear transponder will be activated, with a
40kHz bandwidth. In transponder mode, a CW beacon will be active
instead of BPSK telemetry. It will transmit a message saying "hi hi
de delfi-c3 delfi-c3". Since Delfi-C3 will transmit with only 400mW
of downlink power, earth stations will need to prepare a good receive
system.
TLE's will be anounced on the website (http://www.delfic3.nl) once
they are available. Preliminary parameters of the orbit are:
+ altitude: 630km circular
+ inclination: 97.91 degrees
+ sun-synchronous

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

Field Day '07
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 168.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 17, 2007
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-168.01
This weekend, 23rd and 24th, will be Field Day. Here is a copy of
KK5DO's weekly ARRL report for AMSAT-
Field Day is right around the corner and things have changed as far as
available satellites. We learned last month that FO-29 had gone silent.
This was one of the work horses for field day.
GO-32 went down on May 6 for approximately 10 days to upgrade the
onboard software. It should be back in service by field day and will
most likely carry many digital messages.
AO-7 will now become one of the more heavily used satellites for field
day this year. The trick is you do not know if it will come up in mode A
or mode B. You must monitor both at AOS and determine which mode it is
in and then jump in and make your contacts.
Next we have AO-27 and AO-51. These are FM satellites so you can only
make one contact on AO-27, a single transponder. AO-51 will have both of
its transponders on and allow you to make one contact on each transponder.
Then there is VO-52. Not as easy as the FM satellites or the mode B
satellites but still, a lot of fun and another source for many contacts.

BID: $ANS-168.03
The June 11th ARRL Atlantic Division News announced the Atlantic
Division Technical Achievement Award is awarded to Jim Sanford,
WB4GCS.
Jim was first licensed in the sixth grade and was a 1976 graduate
of the US Naval Academy. While active in the Navy, he was active
with Navy MARS stations both on ships and on shore.
Jim was nominated for his involvement with the AMSAT program. He
is currently serving as the Project Manager for the AMSAT OSCAR
Eagle project. This project is the next generation high earth orbit
satellite under construction now by AMSAT North America. Eagle will
provide many services and reliable communications on bands not
previously available and will build upon technology developed by
AMSAT-NA for use in P3E. Eagle is currently in development stage
although the major components are finished (and installed on P3E)
and other components such as the software defined transponder have
been demonstrated.

+ Radio amateurs interested in the microwave bands may find the
uWSDR (Microwave SDR) project interesting. The project's goal
is to provide a transceiever operating on the 144, 422, 1268,
2400 MHz bands, etc., covering the whole of each band - i.e.
1240-1300 MHz. Full duplex cross-band products such as L/S are
planned specifically for satellite use. More details are on
the uWSDR website: http://uwsdr.berlios.de (via Grant, G8UBN
for the uWSDR team).
+ The Florida AMSAT net is looking for satellite operators who are
willing to be a guest speaker on their Thursday night net. The
repeater network covers half the state of Florida if you are within
radio range. An echolink connection is available for all others.
Please contact Drew, KO4MA via ko4ma(a)amsat.org if you are interested.

BID: $ANS-168.06
To all AMSAT members and satellite enthusiasts,
Field Day is only a week away! Are you prepared? Each year the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field Day as an emergency
preparedness exercise during the fourth weekend of June. AMSAT promotes
its own version of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites,
held concurrently with the ARRL event. See the AMSAT Web site's Quick
Reference "Field Day Competition" for details.
You may be wondering what you need to make a contact on one of the
"easy" FM satellites. The simplest equipment to have would be an HT
(either a dual band HT or separate 70cm and 2m HTs) and a small beam
antenna like the home brew antennas described in recent AMSAT Journals
or the commercial Arrow antenna.
These antennas come with a single feed for each band. If you are going
to use a dual band HT, you have to build or buy a duplexer. Be sure you
have the correct connectors. One model of the Arrow antenna comes with a
built in duplexer in the handle but the maximum power rating is only
about 10 watts.
Five to ten watts of power should be plenty for the FM satellites.
Because of the large number of stations trying to get in all at once
many of you will find your best chance for a successful contact is using
a horizon shot or operating when you first get acquisition of the
satellite (AOS) or when you are near loss of acquisition (LOS).
Increasing your power above a standard mobile rig of 25 to 50 watts is
strongly discouraged. FCC rules require the use of the least amount of
power necessary to make the contact.
Make your contact and step aside. This year the rules state only one
satellite contact per FM transponder. Note that there may be two
transponders in operation on AO-51 during field day.
If you can, I recommend that you try to use the linear transponder
satellites like AO-7 where you can make as many contacts as you like. It
takes more skill and different equipment but this can be great fun and
you will learn new techniques.
If you need help you can post a message to the AMSAT e-mail bulletin
board (amsat-bb) or contact your regional Field Operations
representative listed on the AMSAT Web site.
Enjoy field day.

To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

BID: $ANS-161.01
In support of ARRL Kid's Day on June 16 the uplink frequency on AO-51's
FM repeater will be changed to 145.88 MHz with NO PL Tone. Kid's Day is
intended to encourage young people (licensed or not) to enjoy Amateur
Radio. It can give young people on-the-air experience so they might
develop an interest in pursuing a license in the future. It is intended
to give hams a chance to share their station with children. During
Kid's Day operators are requested to minimize routine contacts and allow
Kid's Day stations to have a successful satellite contact.
Following Kid's Day AO-51's mode will change on June 17 to dual L/U and
V/U repeater mode for Field Day. This will give stations the week
before Field Day to check out their stations.

1. Belgian School Contact, a Success
Students attending EFLS Sainte-Marie SUARLEE in Suarlee, Namur, Belgium
participated in an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) contact on Tuesday, May 29 via the telebridge station W6SRJ in
California. Thirteen children were able to ask astronaut Sunita
Williams, KD5PLB, one question each as an audience of 150 students,
teachers and parents looked on. Students came from three area schools to
take part in the event. Media coverage included newspapers and three
television stations, both local and national. The audio of this contact
was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and JK1ZRW (277 208) servers,
and received 15 connections from 7 countries, including 3 repeater
nodes. It was also fed into the IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010.
2. 300th Successful ARISS Contact with NASA Teachers Workshop
On Thursday, May 31, Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, answered 9 questions posed
to her by instructors attending the NASA Johnson Space Center (Gilruth)
Teacher to Teacher Workshop during an Amateur Radio on the International
Space Station (ARISS) contact. Telebridge station WH6PN in Hawaii
assisted in the event as approximately 300 K-12 teachers witnessed the
event.
Prior to the contact, an ARISS member gave a talk to the crowd and
explained how an ARISS event gets students interested in math, science,
history, geography, and language. Statistics were given on the number of
students reached each year, contacts performed per year, and how many
more students could participate via the internet and through general
contacts. Bill McArthur, KC5ACR, and his activity while on board the ISS
was mentioned as was the excitement created from the SuitSat-1 project.
Teachers were also given information on the application process.
The audio from this event was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and
JK1ZRW (277 208) servers. It received 17 connections, including 4
repeaters, from the U.S., England, Canada and Australia. It was also fed
into the IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010 which received five connections
from the USA and England.
This event marked the 300th ARISS contact.
3. ARISS Presentation at Huntsville Hamfest
A NASA engineer and amateur radio operator plans to give a presentation
on the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program
at the Huntsville Hamfest in Huntsville, Alabama, which is held annually
during the third full weekend in August. This year the event, to be held
on August 18 – 19, will also host the American Radio Relay League
National Convention. For more information, see: http://www.hamfest.org/

To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

The US Naval Academy's RAFT Satellite reached the end of its
orbital life this week. Data compiled from stations monitoring
its 145.825 MHz downlink indicates that RAFT's de-orbit occurred
between 0200-0300 UTC on MAY 30, 2007. Its final beacon was
heard at 01:45 UTC that day.
Prior to de-orbit the University of California, Irvine satellite
(UCISAT) team was able to activate the XP-217 transponder aboard
the satellite and detected the NAVSPASUR radar net on 05/27/07 at
0602 UTC. The UCISAT team has a website with the audio recording
files and audio spectrum analysis of the transponder tone from
the successful pass. See: http://ucisat.eng.uci.edu/RAFT.php.
The US Naval Academy RAFT web page has a doppler plot of the radar
fence signal and details of the final days in orbit. See:
http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/craft/save-raft.html.
Henk, PA3GUO programmed a special goodbye voice-message from RAFT
which can be heard at:

1. Successful School Contacts
On Monday, May 21, Toyon Elementary School in San Jose, California,
experienced an ARISS contact. Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, answered 13
questions put to her by 13 children. Approximately 470 students
attend the school. Toyon Elementary is a 2004 NASA Explorer School
with minorities making up 87% of the school population.
EFLS Sainte-Marie SUARLEE in Suarlee, Namur, Belgium had an ARISS contact
on Tuesday, May 29 via the telebridge station W6SRJ in California. The
Sainte Marie School is located in Suarlee, a village in Wallonia, the
French speaking region of Belgium. Sixty-five children, ages 3 - 12 attend
the school. There are nineteen 10 - 12 year olds in the class who will
participate in the question and answer session with the ISS. The students
were excited to be participating in this contact and have been studying
the distances between the planets of the solar system. They have also
been using the Internet and newspapers to gather information about recent
space activities.
NASA Johnson Space Center (Gilruth) Teacher to Teacher Workshop had an
ARISS contact on Thursday, May 31 via the telebridge station WH6PN in
Hawaii. Approximately 250 K-12 teachers from across the country parti-
cipated in many sessions throughout the two day workshop including
Constructive Chaos, Correcting Misconceptions in Science, Engineering
Your Way to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond-CEV, Hooked on Math, NASA STS-118
Engineering Challenge, NCLB: Past, Present, and Future, Analogical Reason-
ing: Real-World Examples for Scientific Concepts, Engineering Design
Challenges Program, NASA in Every Child's World, Robotics, and many more.
The event is a partnership between NASA and the U.S. Dept. of Education.
2. ARRL Covers ARISS Activities
Published in the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) QST June issue (p. 24)
is a letter to the editor about how John Spasojevich, K9COE, radio contact
coordinator of the Boulder Hill Elementary School's ARISS contact, is still
getting letters commending him on the event, from the school board, village
officials, and parents. In addition, the children who participated in the
contact are still wearing their ARISS t-shirts. The event took place on
March 6, 2007.
ARRL's June QST (p. 78) also ran a column about space participant Charles
Simonyi, KE7KDP, and his ARISS work. The article included a photo of him
with cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Fyodor Yurchikhin.
3. Kenwood Radio Status
On Monday, May 21, Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, was able to restore a few
commonly used configurations in the Kenwood radio. One of the modes that
was partially restored was the packet system, although the operations will
be on 145.825 simplex. Configurations of general voice communications and
those used to support school contacts were also saved. A full restoration
of the radio is required for a fully functional radio system. This requires
access to a computer system and certification of the required software.

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.
