October 30, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-303.01 This year's Symposium marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first amateur radio satellite into space. The Symposium is being held in San Jose, CA on November 4 thru November 6 which is the home of Project OSCAR, the organization that built amateur radio's first satellite. As part of our commemoration, the ARRL is bringing an OSCAR 1 prototype which has been refurbished to help highlight this significant milestone. Our banquet speaker, Lance Ginner, K6GSJ was a member of the team that built OSCAR 1; he subsequently was involved with a number of follow-on amateur radio satellite projects. Lance's presentation promises to be a fascinating look at the early days of amateur radio in space as well as perhaps some lessons learned. The Symposium is an excellent opportunity to learn about the success of ARISSat-1 as well as AMSAT's latest project, Fox and the steps that we're taking to continue to keep amateur radio in space. There are some excellent presentations scheduled that will cover the gamut from satellite engineering to satellite operations to education outreach. This year's "Proceedings of the AMSAT-NA Space Symposium and Annual Meeting", which is provided to every Symposium attendee contains 21 papers and is over 250 pages in length. While not all papers will be presented, there are also several presentations scheduled to be presented where the material was not finished in time for publication. Along with the outstanding materials presented, Symposium offers a great opportunity to meet the AMSAT leadership (the Board of Directors members as well as Senior Officers), other satellite enthusiasts, and interact with our volunteers who are involved with our engineering projects. Symposium is both a presentation/educational opportunity as well as a social event. If you haven't yet registered for this year's Symposium, please consider joining us. Details on the Symposium and registering can be found at: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2011/index.php The last time that AMSAT held a Symposium in California was in 2006; this may be the best chance for AMSAT members and others living on the West Coast to participate in a Symposium and have direct interaction with the AMSAT leadership for some time. Hopefully, those of you living in the Bay Area will take full advantage of this opportunity. Alan Bowker, WA6DNR and his team have done a great job preparing for an outstanding weekend in San Jose. See ya in San Jose!

October 30, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-303.05 PW-Sat to Launch in January This week AMSAT-UK web site carried the announcement that PW-Sat,a 1U CubeSat to be launched on the first VEGA flight in January,will carry a 145 to 435 MHz Amateur Radio transponder. The single channel transponder will operate in a similar way to AO-16. The uplink on 145.900 MHz will be FM and the downlink on 435.020MHz will use the BPSK telemetry beacon transmitter to produce Double Sideband (DSB) that can be received on an SSB radio. PW-Sat will be launched into a 300 by 1450km 69.5 degree orbit and may be expected to have a lifetime of about 2 years before re-entry. It was built by students of Warsaw University of Technology in cooperation with the Space Research Centre and will be Poland's first satellite. The development and construction of this satellite, students worked with two research groups - Astronautical Students (Faculty MEiL)and Space Engineering Student (Faculty EITI). Tutor from the beginning of the project was prof. Assoc. inz. Piotr Wolanski MEiL department. The main objective of the project is education of students in the preparation, construction and use of artificial satellites. Specific objectives are: + Testing the system to develop flexible solar generation. + Study the deacceleration of a satellite, which will increase the resistance and its rapid descent from orbit. + Testing of satellite communication system including the Technical University of Warsaw, Gdynia Maritime Academy and the Centre for Astronomy them. Nicolaus Copernicus Academy of Sciences. PW-Sat has five modes of operation: 1. Receive only mode - no downlink 2. Beacon CW mode - Downlink On-Off Keying (OOK) CW (1kHz) 12 WPM on 435.020 MHz 3. Beacon BPSK mode - Downlink BPSK (3 kHz) 1200 bps AX25 (1 frame on 20 sec) on 435.020 MHz 4. Control communication mode. Downlink BPSK (3 kHz) 1200 bps AX25 on 435.020 MHz 5.

October 30, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-303.08 SatPC32 version 12.8b is available for download at http://www.dk1tb.de/downloadeng.htm The main SatPC32 program window now displays more information such as the date of the Keplerian elements file in use. Before upgrading your SatPC32 installation, be sure to use the new program (in the ZIP file) to backup your user configuration. The upgrade erases all previous user configurations, but the new program will restore your configurations after upgrading. The download is a demo version that requires users to enter their lat/lon each time the program is started. To make the program fully functional, enter your existing registration code or purchase a registration code from the AMSAT web site: http://www.amsat-na.com/store/category.php?c=Software DK1TB, the author of SatPC32 has donated the software to AMSAT. All sales of SatPC32 are used to support AMSAT. Here are the changes described in the What's New file: 1. SatPC32, SatPC32ISS, Wisat32 and SuM now support rotor control of the M2 RC-2800 rotor system. 2. The CAT control functions of SatPC32, SatPC32ISS and Wisat32 have been expanded. The programs now provide CAT control of the new Icom transceiver IC-9100. 3. The main windows of SatPC32 and SatPC32ISS have been slightly changed to make them clearer. With window size W3 the world map can be stretched (only SatPC32). 4. The accuracy of the rotor positions can now be adjusted for the particular rotor controller. SatPC32 therefore can output the rotor positions with 0, 1 or 2 decimals. Corrections of the antenna positions can automatically be saved. In previous versions that had to be done manually. 5. The tool 'DataBackup' has been added. The tool allows users to save the SatPC32 program data via mouse click and to restore them if necessary. After the program has been configured for the user's equipment the settings should be saved with 'DataBackup'. If problems occur later, the program can easily restore the working configuration. 6. The rotor interfaces IF-100, FODTrack, RifPC and KCT require the kerneldriver IOPort.SYS to be installed. Since it is a 32-bit driver it will not work on 64-bit Windows systems. On such systems the driver can cause error messages.To prevent such messages the driver can now optionally be deactivated. 7. SuM now outputs a DDE string with azimuth and elevation, that can be evaluated by client programs. Some demo files show how to program and configure the client.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-296 ANS is a free, weekly, news and information service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor(a)amsat.org In this edition: * AMSAT Symposium Weekend Quickly Approaching * FO-29 Eclipse Undervoltage Stops Operation * 4C1JPG Satellite Operation From 2011 Pan-American Games * FP DXpedition Plans Satellite Operation * AubieSat-1 Launch Includes Four Additional Satellites * Prospero to be reactivated on 137.560 MHz * SatPC32 Version 12.8b Available * ARISS Status - 17 October 2011 SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-296.01 AMSAT Symposium Weekend Quickly Approaching AMSAT News Service Bulletin 296.01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. October 23, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-296.01 Time is quickly approaching for the upcoming AMSAT Symposium to be held November 4-6. This year's Symposium marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first amateur radio satellite into space. The Symposium is being held in San Jose, CA which is the home of Project OSCAR, the organization that built amateur radio's first satellite. As part of our commemoration, the ARRL is bringing an OSCAR 1 prototype which has been refurbished to help highlight this significant milestone. Our banquet speaker, Lance Ginner, K6GSJ was a member of the team that built OSCAR 1; he subsequently was involved with a number of follow-on amateur radio satellite projects. Lance's presentation promises to be a fascinating look at the early days of amateur radio in space as well as perhaps some lessons learned. Along with recognizing this significant milestone, the Symposium is an excellent opportunity to learn about the success of ARISSat-1 as well as AMSAT's latest project, Fox and the steps that we're taking to continue to keep amateur radio in space. There are some excellent presentations scheduled that will cover the gamut from satellite engineering to satellite operations to education outreach. This year's "Proceedings of the AMSAT-NA Space Symposium and Annual Meeting", which is provided to every Symposium attendee contains 21 papers and is over 250 pages in length. While not all papers will be presented, there are also several presentations scheduled to be presented where the material was not finished in time for publication. Along with the outstanding materials presented, Symposium offers a great opportunity to meet the AMSAT leadership (the Board of Directors members as well as Senior Officers), other satellite enthusiasts, and interact with our volunteers who are involved with our engineering projects. Symposium is both a presentation/educational opportunity as well as a social event. If you haven't yet registered for this year's Symposium, please consider joining us. Details on the Symposium and registering can be found at: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2011/index.php Please note that deadline for taking advantage of the block or rooms that AMSAT has reserved expires on October 24, so time is indeed running out for making your arrangements. The last time that AMSAT held a Symposium in California was in 2006; this may be the best chance for AMSAT members and others living on the West Coast to participate in a Symposium and have direct interaction with the AMSAT leadership for some time. Hopefully, those of you living in the Bay Area will take full advantage of this opportunity. Alan Bowker, WA6DNR and his team have done a great job preparing for an outstanding weekend in San Jose. See ya in San Jose!

October 23, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-296.02 Information has been received that the FO-29 analog repeater is currently off the air. The eclipse periods have increased to the point exceeding 27% shadowing which causes an undervoltage fault to shut down the satellite. The FO-29 control station sent commands to reactivate the satellite during daytime passes over Japan between October 8-10. Also at the present time the control station was experiencing computer hardware problems which slowed progress.

October 23, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-296.05 The launch of Auburn University's AubieSat-1 satellite has been rescheduled to 28 October 2011 due to problems found during the system integration of the primary mission. A hydraulic system leak was detected and the cause was found to be a small crack in a hydraulic tube. A replacement tube was manufactured, installed, and retested. Also, a flexible fabric collar connecting two engine system exhaust ducts was found to be damaged following pressurized leak testing. The damaged fabric collar is being removed and replaced.

October 23, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-296.06 Attempts are being made to reactivate Prospero, the United Kingdom's first satellite launched on a UK-built rocket, Black Arrow, on October 28, 197 and it is hoped Amateur Radio operators will be able to hear the signals. Roger Duthie M0RJA provides details of tests to be carried out over the next two weeks: Some of you may have heard that a team in the UK are trying to recontact an old British launched satellite for the anniversary of its launch (28th October 1971). We've been given a licence to transmit and will be testing our reengineered ground-segment in the next fortnight. The passes we are going to concentrate on will be as far out west as possible, as to minimise QRM from Europe. Earth is a lot more EM noisy than it was in 1971. If anyone wants to try and tune in to the downlink, you can help ID any response we get from the old bird. To avoid interference the downlink is only planned to be active when the satellite is in range of the United Kingdom. The passes are summarised here: https://public.sheet.zoho.com/public/rjaduthie/prospero-passes-in-the-next- fortnight There are other passes, though these are the ones which are out west. We'll see how we do.

October 23, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-296.07 SatPC32 version 12.8b is available for download at http://www.dk1tb.de/downloadeng.htm The main SatPC32 program window now displays more information such as the date of the Keplerian elements file in use. Before upgrading your SatPC32 installation, be sure to use the new program (in the ZIP file) to backup your user configuration. The upgrade erases all previous user configurations, but the new program will restore your configurations after upgrading. The download is a demo version that requires users to enter their lat/lon each time the program is started. To make the program fully functional, enter your existing registration code or purchase a registration code from the AMSAT web site: http://www.amsat-na.com/store/category.php?c=Software DK1TB, the author of SatPC32 has donated the software to AMSAT. All sales of SatPC32 are used to support AMSAT. Here are the changes described in the What's New file: 1. SatPC32, SatPC32ISS, Wisat32 and SuM now support rotor control of the M2 RC-2800 rotor system. 2. The CAT control functions of SatPC32, SatPC32ISS and Wisat32 have been expanded. The programs now provide CAT control of the new Icom transceiver IC-9100. 3. The main windows of SatPC32 and SatPC32ISS have been slightly changed to make them clearer. With window size W3 the world map can be stretched (only SatPC32). 4. The accuracy of the rotor positions can now be adjusted for the particular rotor controller. SatPC32 therefore can output the rotor positions with 0, 1 or 2 decimals. Corrections of the antenna positions can automatically be saved. In previous versions that had to be done manually. 5. The tool 'DataBackup' has been added. The tool allows users to save the SatPC32 program data via mouse click and to restore them if necessary. After the program has been configured for the user's equipment the settings should be saved with 'DataBackup'. If problems occur later, the program can easily restore the working configuration. 6. The rotor interfaces IF-100, FODTrack, RifPC and KCT require the kerneldriver IOPort.SYS to be installed. Since it is a 32-bit driver it will not work on 64-bit Windows systems. On such systems the driver can cause error messages.To prevent such messages the driver can now optionally be deactivated. 7. SuM now outputs a DDE string with azimuth and elevation, that can be evaluated by client programs. Some demo files show how to program and configure the client.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-275 ANS is a free, weekly, news and information service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor(a)amsat.org In this edition: * Lance Ginner, K6GSJ 2011 AMSAT Symposium Banquet Speaker * OSCAR 1 Prototype Will Be Operating at the 2011 Symposium * Auburn University AubieSat-1 Scheduled for Launch from Vandenberg * K6LCS Satellite Presentation at the Anchorage Hamfest * ARISS Status - 26 September 2011 SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-275.01 Lance Ginner, K6GSJ 2011 AMSAT Symposium Banquet Speaker AMSAT News Service Bulletin 275.01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. October 2, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-275.01 AMSAT is privileged to have Lance Ginner, K6GSJ as our banquet speaker. As AMSAT and the amateur radio community celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of OSCAR 1 (placed in orbit on 12 DEC 61), we look forward to Lance's remarks about how OSCAR 1 was developed and the impact of amateur radio satellites on his professional career. We will hear about the personal, technical, political, and security issues regarding the early OSCARs. First licensed in 1954 at the age of 16, Lance started his amateur career as a novice (KN6GSJ) and quickly upgraded to become K6GSJ, the same general class license he holds today. Following his grad- uation from college in 1959, he joined Lockheed Missiles and Space Division in Sunnyvale, CA. While at Lockheed, Lance became involved with Chuck Towns, K6LFH and others in Project Oscar and helped build OSCAR 1 (Launched on 12 DEC 61) and OSCAR 2 (Launched on 2 JUN 62) and test and integrate those spacecraft to the Discoverer host vehicle. OSCAR 1 became one of the first free flying 'secondary payloads' to be flown into space. Lance's involvement with amateur radio spacecraft continued with his work with OSCAR 3, OSCAR 4, OSCAR 5 (the first for the newly formed Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation in 1970), OSCAR 6, OSCAR 7, and OSCAR 8. Lance's involvement with the early OSCAR satellites continued with AMSAT, working with Jan King, W3GEY (AMSAT VP-Engineering), Perry Klein, W3PK (AMSAT's first President), and Dick Daniels, W4PUJ (AMSAT Propulsion). You are invited to read more of Lance's career as one of Amateur Radio in Space pioneers on the 2011 Symposium web page: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2011/BanquetSpeaker.php [ANS thanks the 2011 Symposium Committee for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-275.02 OSCAR 1 Prototype Will Be Operating at the 2011 Symposium AMSAT News Service Bulletin 275.02 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. October 2, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-275.02 The AMSAT 2011 AMSAT Space Symposium will be held on Friday, November 4th through Sunday, November 6th at the Windham Hotel in San Jose, California. This year's Symposium coincides the cele- bration of the 50th anniversary of OSCAR 1. Symposium Banquet Speaker and OSCAR 1 developer Lance Ginner, K6GSJ provided Bob Allison, WB1GCM of ARRL's Technical Lab and his team with technical advice to help getting the satellite operational again. Bob will also be at the Symposium and will give a brief talk on the refurbishment process. The refurbished OSCAR-1 was on display at the ARRL exhibit area at the 2011 Dayton Hamvention. We look forward to having the OSCAR 1 prototype on display during the AMSAT Symposium as well as hear the CW transmissions (now managed by a PIC controller) in the 145 MHz band. Additionally, the AMSAT News Service will re-run the weekly Project OSCAR Newsletters to commemorate the 50th anniversary of OSCAR 1. During the November/December 2011 time frame you will be able to share the excitement of the launch campaign that started it all 50 years ago. Watch for the re-publication of the Project OSCAR Newsletters in the AMSAT Journal. The Newsletters were hand-typed back in 1961. Thanks to Don Ferguson, KD6IRE for scanning the original documents announ- cing OSCAR 1.

The beacon signal, along with telemetry, will be sent using A1A continuous wave Morse code at 20 words per minute. Additional telemetry from the on board science experiment will use CW transmissions up to 60 WPM. Based on the pre-launch orbital data provided by NASA, AS-1 will acti- vate after deployment at 12:21 UTC, 25 October 2011. At that time, the sub-satellite point will be at 34.52 S latitude and 1.52 W longi- tude over the South Atlantic Ocean. Our predictions are that the first flights over the contiguous United States will begin as shown in the following table: Orbit AOS Elevation LOS General Locale ----- --------- ---------- -------- ------------ 3 15:54 UTC >50 deg 16:01 UTC New York 4 17:28 UTC >26 deg 17:35 UTC Texas 5 19:07 UTC >48 deg 19:14 UTC California This information will be updated should there be launch scrubs or per- formance changes in the launch, and additional information will be available upon request for specific locations. Reception reports with data contents are welcomed to the following email addresses: wersijp at auburn dot edu and tam0013 at auburn dot edu An internet Echolink conference group is also planned to begin one-half hour prior to launch and continue until about 30 minutes after confir- mation of the first receipt of signals from the satellite. Information on the conference groups title will be distributed nearer to the launch for interested stations. Please email wersijp at auburn dot edu if you require additional infor- mation and can assist in the reception and tracking of AubieSat-1.

October 2, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-275.04 Craig Bledsoe, KL4E of the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club (AARC) noted their September 17 Hamfest featured a first ever remotely-delivered keynote presentation by Clint Bradford, K6LCS. In order to facilitate this full-duplex two-way video Skype conference between Clint's studio in Riverside, California and the Anchorage Ham- fest a team of hams assembled the technology to make this happen. Led by Rich Gillin, AL4S, and Eric Thompson, N6SPP, the team installed an AT&T active remote phased-array WiMax antenna at the hamfest and aimed it towards the AT&T Alascom headquarters on Government Hill many miles away. The resultant broadband signal enabled Clint to present over a hundred PowerPoint slides through a laptop computer and projec- tion system while his audio was delivered via a Skype connection. Two way internet video streaming allowed the audience to see Clint and he was able to see the crowd at the Hamfest. Clint delivered a fascinating look across the spectrum of amateur sat- ellite operations. From the earliest days of the first OSCAR satellites first launched over a half-century ago to the organization of AMSAT and today's comprehensive international efforts to get the latest amateur technologies into outer space, his presentation covered it all. Clint also taught the basics, showing step-by-step how a beginning ham can use a simple handheld radio and antenna to work the satellites with great success. In addition to all of the on-line satellite discussions, the AARC also conducted real-life satellite QSOs from the hamfest before and after Clint's presentation. Using AO-27, SO-50, and AO51 the host operators N6SPP and KL4E worked over a dozen amateur satellite stations in three countries. Then a number of guest operators who were attending the Hamfest got on board as well. Several visiting hams made their first satellite QSOs that day - and they were thrilled! All-in-all everyone had a great time at the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club Hamfest, and many visitors said that they thoroughly enjoyed Clint's presentation.

October 2, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-275.05 1. First ARISS Contact for Louisiana On Thursday, September 22, the first Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact to be held in Louisiana took place between students attending Kiroli Elementary School in West Monroe and Satoshi Furukawa, KE5DAW on the ISS. Approximately 500 students were on hand for the event. Representatives from the school board, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the media were also present. The contact was a featured activity held in conjunction with a well developed education plan covering space and communications. The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) will open its observatory in an upcoming month to Kiroli Elementary to allow students to view various celestial bodies and events, as well as the planets and stars within our solar system. Contact information and links to articles, video and audio may be found on this Web site: http://www.cs.ulm.edu/~pdw/KiroliARISS/ 2. ARISS International Team Teleconference Held The ARISS monthly teleconference was held on Tuesday, September 20. Among the agenda items discussed were the upcoming Houston face-to-face meeting and the HamTV project that ESA plans to support through a contract with Kayser-Italia. The Project Selection and Use committee will discuss HamTV and a second Kenwood radio for the Columbus module once the proposals are submitted. Minutes have been posted. See: http://www.rac.ca/ariss/arisstel2011-09-20.htm 3. Astronaut Training Status Three simulated ARISS contacts were held on Wednesday, September 21. Chris Hadfield, KC5RNJ/VA3OOG spoke with youth at the Euro Space Camp in Belgium. Kevin Ford, KF5GPP contacted the Manhattan Challenger Learning Center (CLC) and Tom Marshburn, KE5HOC answered questions from students at the CLC of Indianapolis. The training sessions were terrestrial-based amateur radio contacts using ARISS equivalent equipment that will prepare the astronauts for participation in ARISS contacts during their upcoming missions on the ISS. Ford is slated to launch with Expedition 33 in September 2012 and Hadfield and Marshburn are scheduled to fly with Expedition 34 in November 2012. 4.
