AO-51 End of Mission
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 331.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
November 27, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-331.01
AMSAT-NA VP Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA reported today,
"It is with a heavy heart I report that AO-51 has ceased trans-
mission and is not responding to commands."
Drew wrote, "The last telemetry data indicated that the third of
six batteries was approaching failure to short, and observations
indicate the voltage from three cells is insufficient to power the
UHF transmitters. The IHU may continue to be operative. Initial
tests with the S-band transmitter were also not positive, although
more attempts are in order. We have tried leaving the satellite in
an expected state where if voltages climb high enough, the 435.150
transmitter may possibly be heard."
The command team will regularly attempt communications with the
satellite over the coming months (and years). There is always the
possibility that a cell will open and we could once again talk to
our friend while illuminated. Thanks to all who helped fund, des-
ign, build, launch, command, and operate AO-51. It's 7 year mission
has been extraordinary.
Please support AMSAT's Fox-1 project, and other AMSAT projects world-
wide with your time and money.

Longer Eclipse Periods Affecting AO-51 Operation
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 331.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.

BID: $ANS-331.01
AO-51 Command Stations report that the seven year old spacecraft
is now shutting down its transmitter after losing sunlight on its
solar panels during eclipse periods. Two of the six battery cells
are now dead. Since July 31, 2010 AO-51 has maintained continuous
and stable operations due to careful tuning of its power settings.
The AO-51 Operations Team reported on November 25 that the on-board
computer (IHU) crashed between 1815 and 1945Z due to low voltage.
This happened after a few days of intermittent and unpredictable
operation.
AO-51 Control Operators Mark Hammond, N8MH and Drew Glasbrenner,
KO4MA reset the satellite and started the repeater back up around
~2030Z. Satellite operation was set to the following:
Uplink: 145.880, no PL tone required
Downlink: 435.150 at about 300 milliwatts
Drew reported that telemetry data showed the battery voltage was
low, around 4.9v, with cell 1 less than 1 volt. The impending third
cell failure will likely end continuing operations, particularly if
it fails shorted as the others have. At present there remains little
margin as the operations team has observed the transmitters cutting
off around 4.7 to 4.6 volts prior to the last reset, in eclipse.
Please submit your AO-51 reports to the OSCAR Status Web Page:
http://oscar.dcarr.org. The command stations monitor this for changes
in the operation. While worldwide participation is good, more reports
from US operators are appreciated.
Eclipse periods, which are expected to reach 30 minutes by the end
of 2011, are causing AO-51 to shut itself OFF due to low voltage.
Please support AMSAT-NA and the other AMSAT groups around the world,
and help us get new satellites into orbit. Projects like Fox, FunCube,
P3E, and Kiwisat need your financial support to keep our amateur sat-
ellite fleet flying.

AMSAT-NA's next generation of satellites, Fox-1 and Fox-2 are under
development by the Engineering Team.
Fox-1 will replace the aging AO-51 satellite which has performed as
the most popular EasySat, attracting new satellite operators since
it can be worked with simple equipment. However, after more than 7
years of service, AO-51 is starting to show its age and needs an
affordable replacement.
Why two satellites? The original Fox Engineering Team Study was for
a baseline satellite, with several options for enhancements. At that
time, AO-51 was functioning well, with no indication that its life-
time would be short enough to impact the Fox Project. With the im-
pending loss of AO-51, it was decided to break the Fox Project up
into a quickly deployable baseline FM satellite, Fox-1, and a second
more flexible satellite, Fox-2.
Fox-2 will benefit from the development work of the baseline Fox-1,
with the additional time being applied to developing its more sophis-
ticated power and Software Defined Transponder (SDX) communications
systems.
The Powerpoint presentations on AMSAT's Fox web site provide a good
view of the technical progress: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/fox/

December 1, 1961
Good News!
The following is quoted from the Department of Defense News Release
dated November 15, 1961:
AIR FORCE TO ORBIT SMALL SATELLITE FOR "HAM" OPERATORS' USE
"The Air Force is planning to boost into orbit a small amateur radio
satellite so that "ham" operators around the world can contribute to
the world's knowledge on the development and operation of space com-
munications systems."
"Known as Project OSCAR - Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio -
the program is the result of extensive thought and planning on the
part of several California amateur operators. They have formed the
OSCAR Association to follow through on the project.
"The Air Force Space Systems Division in Los Angeles has agreed to
orbit the OSCAR satellite on a space available basis on board a
DISCOVERER satellite which will be launched from Vandenberg AFB next
month.
"The OSCAR satellite will weigh approximately ten pounds and will be
lifted into orbit on the external aft portion of the AGENA Satellite.
Sometime after the AGENA has attained orbit the OSCAR satellite will
separate from the mother vehicle. Antennae will extend and the trans-
mitter will commence operation. The OSCAR satellite will contain its
own battery power system and is anticipated to have a 30-day life in
orbit. "The OSCAR satellite is designed to investigate radio propaga-
tion phenomena in the two meter (144-146) portion of the radio freq-
uency spectrum."
Simultaneously, a letter from Dr. J. V. Charyk, Under Secretary of
the Air Force to the American Radio Relay League, says (in part):
"I am pleased to advise that the Air Force will undertake to place
into orbit an Oscar package.....Our Space Systems Division has been
instructed to accomplish the Oscar package launching at the earliest
feasible date (italics ours) on a non-interference basis to the per-
formance or mission of the launch carrier vehic1e..... Please be
assured of the complete cooperation by the Air Force toward success-
ful accomplishment of this amateur experiment."
THIS MEANS THAT THE LAUNCH INTO SPACE OF OSCAR I, THE WORLD'S FIRST
AMATEUR RADIO SATELLITE IS IMINENT -- PROBABLY WELL WITHIN THE MONTH!
ACTUAL LAUNCH DATE CANNOT BE YET RELEASED FOR SECURITY REASONS. LIS-
TEN TO THE VOICE OF AMERICA BROADCASTS AND THE OFFICIAL ARRL BROAD-
CAST FROM WIAW FOR LAUNCH DATE! ALSO WATCH YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER FOR
LAUNCH INFORMATION!
RECENT "UP" AND "AP" OSCAR NEWS DESPATCHES HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN
MAJOR NEWSPAPERS, AND IN ADDITION, W6SAI AND K6LFH WERE INTERVIEW-
ED BY VOICE OF AMERICA ON THE NOVEMBER 27TH AMATEUR RADIO PROGRAM
WHICH FEATURED THE OSCAR STORY. YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS IMPORTANT,
WORLD-WIDE AMATEUR SPACE EXPERIMENT IS URGENTLY REQUIRED. SEE RE-
CENT ISSUES OF QST AND CQ MAGAZINES FOR ARTICLES ON RECEPTION AND
TRACKING OF THE OSCAR 145 MC RADIO BEACON. AS THE BEACON HAS NO
RECEPTION PACILITIES, QQ NQT MAKE CALLS TO THE BEACON. KEEP YOUR
TRANSMITTER CLEAR OF 145 MC! OSCAR I WILL BE IN POLAR ORBIT, THUS
PASSING OVER EACH POINT ON EARTH APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES PER DAY
ON NORTH-TO-SOUTH AND SOUTH-TO-NORTH ORBITS.
THE TIME IS NOW! ARE YOU READY?
NOW THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED ALL NECESSARY PERMISSION AND ASSISTANCE,
OSCAR 1 WILL BE ON ITS OWN WHEN IT IS EJECTED FROM THE PARENT VE-
HICLE. THE OSCAR ASSOCIATION AND THE U. S. AIR FORCE HAVE AT THIS
POINT DONE ALL THEY CAN DO TO MAKE THE EXPERIMENT A SUCCESSFUL ONE.
THE RESULTS OF THIS EXPERIMENT WILL DEPEND UPON YOU - THE RADIO AMA-
TEUR. YOU MUST CARRY ON FROM THIS POINT! YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS
NON-COMMERCIAL, NON-MILITARY SPACE EFFORT WILL BE IN THE BEST TRA-
DITIONS OF AMATEUR RADIO!
GOOD LUCK!
A11 reception reports of Oscar I should be directed to:
Oscar Association, P. O. Box ---, Sunnyvale, California, USA.
A11 correct reports will receive a special OSCAR I QSL card, veri-
fying reception of the world's first amateur radio satellite.

BID: $ANS-331.06
NASA is now accepting proposals from U.S. schools, museums, science
centers and community youth organizations to host an Amateur Radio
on the International Space Station, or ARISS, contact between
July 15, 2012, and Jan. 15, 2013. To maximize these radio contact
opportunities, NASA is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-
developed education plan. Proposals are due Jan. 30, 2012.
Using amateur radio, students can ask astronauts questions about
life in space and other space-related topics. Students fully engage
in the ARISS contact by helping set up an amateur radio ground sta-
tion at the school and then using that station to talk directly with
a crew member on the International Space Station for approximately
10 minutes. The technology is easier to acquire than ever before.
ARISS has a network of mentors to help you obtain the technology
required to host this once in a lifetime opportunity for your
students.
Interested parties should contact Teaching From Space, a NASA Educa-
tion office, to obtain complete information including how the tech-
nology works, what is expected of the host organization and how to
obtain the proposal/application form by sending an email to J
SC-TFS-ARISS(a)mail.nasa.gov or by calling 281-244-1919.

play with twigs, leaves and branches, this parrot, to the mathe-

a pattern with multiple sides. Then, unfortunately, the bird
keeled over, dead. The mathematician was so moved that he named

(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 re-
peater 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.

First News Release,
U. S. RADIO AMATEURS T0 LAUNCH "PIGGY-BACK" SATELLITE
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. -- A hitch-hiking radio transmitter that will speak to
thousands of amateur radio operators throughout the world is scheduled to be
launched into space orbit next month, announced the American Radio
Relay League.
Weighing only 10 pounds, the satellite has been designed, built and tested by a
group of California (Peninsula) radio amateurs organized as the Project Oscar
Association of the League.
"OSCAR" stands for Orbital Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio. The radio "ham's"
transmitter beacon will be carried into space aboard a scheduled space vehicle
and will radiate signals in a world-wide amateur frequency band of 2-meters,
radio amateur M. C. Towns, Jr. (Saratoga, Calif.) announced today.
Transportation into space will be provided by an Air Force vehicle to be
launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
Once in orbit, the Air Force vehicle will "kick away" the piggy-back radio
amateur satellite, leaving it to follow its own course around the earth. The
mother satellite will then continue to perform the experiments for which it was
intended. Radio Amateur Towns, the Oscar Association Chairman, stressed that
Project Oscar "is a serious, civilian, non-commercial effort to obtain
information from outer space, and to introduce radio amateurs and lay
scientists
to new concepts in outer space communication.
"This miniature radio transmitter will be tracked and observed by
radio amateurs
and all interested observers throughout the world. "It will serve to instruct
the radio amateur in the art of observing and tracking a moving space
object. In
addition, the mass of data gained from world-wide observations will provide
information unobtainable by any other means.
"There are an estimated 300,000 licensed radio amateurs in the world, and the
American Radio Relay League hopes a large number of these hobbyists will
participate in the forthcoming experiments."
Towns noted that the radio amateur has, in the past, been a pioneer in various
fields of radio communication, and that hundreds of U. S. radio
amateurs are now
engaged in space research and other space activity.
The 10-pound Oscar satellite consists of a low-power beacon transmitter
contained in a rectangular metal casing about a foot long. It will send out a
continuous Morse code signal of the letters H-I, four dots followed
by two dots.
Later satellites proposed to be built by the Oscar Association may both receive
and transmit amateur signals.
As soon as this transmitter is in orbit, notification will be flashed to radio
amateurs throughout the world by the American Radio Relay League, the
international organization of radio amateurs which is sponsoring and
cooperating
in the project. "Radio propagation, Heaviside layer refraction, antenna
efficiency and other data can be gathered and correlated from thousands of
points over the world's surface," Towns said.
"The cause of good will," Towns continued, "will be served in that radio
amateurs, located in virtually every country of the world, would have a common
amateur interest in observing and tracking their own satellite, and in
exchanging scientific information relative to improved equipment for receiving
the satellite signals."
The Oscar transmitter is designed to operate on a frequency of 145 megacycles
and can be heard by home experimenters having simple receiving equipment, Towns
said. "Cooperation in the forthcoming tests is invited from any interested
party," the Oscar Chairman stated, pointing out that support has already been
contributed by the Air Force and numerous private concerns interested in
furthering communication knowledge, and entirely on a no-cost basis
of lending a
helping hand to the amateurs in their own project.
The radio amateur satellite idea originated in 1959 with a Los Angeles amateur
operator, Don Stoner, who suggested that radio amateurs had the technical
know-how to build their own satellite if someone only had the vehicle to carry
it into space. He, along with radio amateur Fred Hicks, of Campbell,
California,
and other radio "hams" kept the idea alive and formed the Project Oscar
Association. The idea spread among radio clubs of the Los Angeles and San
Francisco area and gathered support from radio amateurs nation-wide, including
the radio amateur organization, the American Radio Relay League.
Radio "ham" Nicholas K. Marshall, technical director of the Oscar
program, noted
that the soon-to-be-launched satellite is but a first step in the overall Oscar
concept.
"Later satellites to be built by the Oscar group will perhaps receive and
transmit amateur test signals for specific space experiments," he
said. Marshall
noted that there are approximately 12,000 radio amateurs in the Soviet Union,
and that the Oscar Association hopes to receive tracking data from some of them
also.

UKube-1 Final Design Approved
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 317.03
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
November 13, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-317.03
On November 8 AMSAT-UK posted the news that the UK space Agency and
Astrium have approved the final design of UKube-1 - the UK's first
CubeSat mission. The full story can be read at:
http://www.uk.amsat.org/2011/11/08/ukube-1-final-design-approved/
On November 3-4 a young team of engineers from Clyde Space presented
their final design to a team of experts for the Critical Design Re-
view (CDR) - the typical 'gateway' for space missions to proceed
into the flight build and implementation phase.
The CDR for Ukube-1 thus marks an important point in the development
of the mission, establishing the robustness of the design, the level
of technical risk and the schedule/resourcing for the completion of
all the tasks to build the flight spacecraft.
At the CDR, the review panel scrutinized the design in detail to
ensure it was sufficiently mature for flight. Key areas of focus
included the structure and mechanisms, the communications system,
the on board software and processing, the attitude control system
and power generation.
At the end of the meeting the review board concluded that Ukube-1
had successfully passed CDR.
The next stage is the implementation of the mission that will lead
to a launch on a Russian Dneper rocket (ex ICBM converted for small

More on the aims and objectives of Ukube-1 can be found on the UK
Space Agency website:
http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/missions/ukube-pilot-programme
The UK Space Agency's pilot programme to design and launch a CubeSat, a
miniature cube-shaped satellite that will allow the UK to test cutting-edge new
technologies in space. In March 2011 four payloads were finally selected to fly
on UKube-1. These will be integrated onto the spacecraft, which measures just
10cm x 10cm x 34cm, by Clyde Space. In addition UKube-1 will fly FunCube, an
educational payload provided by AMSAT-UK, with the goal of enthusing and
education young people about space, electronics, physics and radio.

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 re-
peater 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.

OSCAR Number Administrator, Bill Tynan, W3XO reports that he has ad-
vised J. M. Wersinger, PhD, KI4YAU, Professor Emeritus and Director
of Auburn University's Student Space Program, that following the
successful NASA ELaNa III launch on October 28, 2011 of AubieSat-1,
and by the request of the AubieSat-1 team, the new satellite has
been assigned an OSCAR number.
Professor Wersinger documented that telemetry has been received from
the satellite. The IARU-Sat Website states that AubieSat-1 was fully
coordinated with the IARU.
Bill wrote, "Therefore, by the authority vested in me by the AMSAT-NA
President, I hereby designate AubieSat-1 as AubieSat Oscar 71 or AO-71
and welcome this newest OSCAR into the Amateur Radio satellite commun-
ity. On behalf of AMSAT-NA and the world's amateur radio satellite
community, I congratulate Professor Wersinger, Auburn University and
all of those responsible for building, testing and launching this new
CubeSat. May its mission meet with success."
