July 18, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-199.02 The 2010 Space Colloquium - the 25th held by AMSAT-UK, is taking place on July 31 and August 1 at the Holiday Inn in Guildford, England. As usual there will be many interesting presentations and demonstra- tions from the developers and users of the ever increasing number of amateur radio satellites. In addition there will be talks on nano propulsion systems, solar sails, cubesat sized linear transponders, the GENSO ground station network, GNU radios and numerous other topics. It is still possible to attend the meeting itself, although the "early booking" rates may now no longer be available - for booking details see: http://www.uk.amsat.org/colloquium If, however, you are unable to attend in person, we can announce that the batc.tv webstream service will again be provided over the weekend starting from 1000 BST (0900UTC) on Saturday, July 31.

July 18, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-199.03 On July 11 a total solar eclipse was observed in the southern Pacific Ocean. The path of totality stretched across the South Pacific Ocean, but the Moon's umbral shadow didn't make landfall except for a few spots such as the Cook Islands and Easter Island, and southern Chile and Argentina. A partial eclipse was visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America. Masa, JN1GKZ noted a glitch in AO-51's Whole Orbit Data file (WOD) in the Total Array I current while AO-51 was located east of Argentina at the time. AO-51 Control Station, Mark, N8MH replied, "You have made a great observation, and I think you are exactly right about the cause of the observed 'glitches' in the telemetry. Usually at this point in its orbit we would observe AO-51 charging its batteries at a steady rate from fully illuminated panels." Mark plotted some of the telemetry collected from 1800-2130utc) and posted it at: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/telemetry/ao51/2010WOD/July2010/Wd071100_ 1800to2130utc_solar_eclipse.xls (watch the line wrap!)

Alex, OZ9AEC ran a simulation using the Celestia space simulator and observed a partial solar eclipse as seen from AO-51. He recorded this simulation to a video and you can watch at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ET8BhbqmVk The Whole Orbit Data file for the eclipse can found at: ftp://ftp.amsat.org/pub/amsat/telemetry/ao51/2010WOD/July2010/Wd071100 AO-51 WOD decoder can be downloaded from: http://tinyurl.com/DK3WNsoftware [ANS thanks Masa, JN1GKZ; Mark N8MH; and Alex, OZ9AEC for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-199.04 New Distance Record for AO-7 DX AMSAT News Service Bulletin 199.04 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.

July 18, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-199.05 For several days last week, Colonel Doug Wheelock, KF5BOC, took to the air from the ISS to talk to hams around the globe. The 2-meter FM phone frequencies for voice operation with the ISS over the US are 144.490 MHz uplink with 145.800 MHz downlink. Dee, NB2F noted, "I Just talked with the ISS. Loud and Clear. Good sigs and thanks to the ISS crew for making contacts." Damon, WA4HFN wrote, "I made my first ISS voice contact with NA1SS. He was full meter reading!" Greg, KO6TH also noted the strong downlink signal. Later in the week the ISS crew activated the SSTV equipment to support the Moscow Aviation Institute experiment (MAI-75) on July 15 and 16. The system operated the space cam in slide show mode.

July 18, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-199.06 ARRL Education and Technology Program Coordinator, Mark Spencer, WA8SME conducted the Dayton Amateur Radio Association sponsored ARRL TI-2 Teacher's Institute - Space this week in Dayton. The purpose of this teacher's institute is to instruct teachers on how to access satellites for use in their classrooms. The four day institute will involve a lot of on-the-air activity on the birds. Concluding a successful session, Mark wrote, "I want to offer my sincerest thanks to the satellite community, Drew, and AMSAT for the support that you gave us during the TI-2 Space this year. Over the last three days, your support in making contacts with the tea- chers, and in particular, the dedicated SSTV activity on AO51, has made the TI-2 Space a huge success this year. I wish each of you could have seen the glowing light bulbs in the teachers' heads at each successful satellite contact. I am confident that they will be taking what they learned this week back into their classrooms to make space 'alive' for their students. Thanks for the patience you showed as these novice satellite operators learned the tricks of the trade." Mark also noted the success of having 8 satellite ground stations, and antennas operating at one time.

July 18, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-199.07 Reporting from the Upagrah Amateur Radio Club VU2URC, at the ISRO Satellite Centre in India, Mani, VU2WMY said the July 12 launch of the 17th flight launch of Indian space agency's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C 15 from Sriharikota was successful. Mani wrote, "All the five satellites including the StudSat and TISat aboard the PSLV-C15 were successfully separated from the vehicle and they are in the [correct] 640 Km orbit right now." The PSLV-C15 launch included a primary payload of the CartoSat-2B remote sensing satellite and AlSat-2A satellite. The three other satellites included AISSat-1, a Norwegian Defence Research Establish- ment satellit to demonstrate a new maritime AIS receiver; and the TISat-1 and StudSat amateur radio banded cubesat payloads.

The app was developed by VE2ZAZ, and uses colors to display information on a per-band basis. Up to four bands can be displayed concurrently. For its input, the program reads the plain-text ASCII log files generated by most logging pro- grams. The file is read at a set interval and the worked grid squares on the map are updated in a dynamic way as the contest progresses and the log file is periodically saved. WorkedGrids can be down- loaded from http://tinyurl.com/24okrtm. + SaturnDaily.com noted an interesting NASA JPL video produced from Cassini orbiter radar data showing a fly-by simulation of Ontario Lacus, the largest lake in the southern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Titan.
