March 27, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-086.05 Information received via Masa, JN1GKZ and the Southgate ARC news site report that the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has announ- ced a new ISS CubeSat deployment system. JAXA's ISS small satellite deployment system will use Japan's ISS Experiment module Kibo's air- lock and robot arm. Satellites are planned to be delivered to the ISS in a cushioned bag by Progress or HTV supply ship. The satellites are then mounted in the deployment pod. The deployment pod is put into the airlock where it is grabbed by the robot arm. The arm then moves the pod into posi- tion and deploys the satellites which will re-enter the atmosphere after about 100 days. JAXA has put out a call for Japanese satellites to demonstrate this new system. The satellites can be 1U, 2U or 3U CubeSat. Total size is 4U. Two to four satellites will be selected (eg 1U+3U, 1Ux2+2U, 1Ux4). The demonstration schedule is: May 2011: satellites selection May 2012: deliver satellites to JAXA Sep 2012 or later: deployment using the new system The press release material is on the JAXA's web site in Japanese. http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2011/03/20110302_sac_smallsat.pdf A Google English version of the press release is available: http://tinyurl.com/JAXA-Kibo/ [ANS thanks Masa, JN1GKZ and the Southgate ARC news site for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-086.06 Satellite Shorts From All Over AMSAT News Service Bulletin 086.06 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.

March 27, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-086.07 In a press release titled, "NASA Launches 2011 Nationwide Technology Space Competition for Education", NASA says it's Emerging Commercial Space Office (ECSO) is teaming with Make Magazine, and Teachers in Space to help develop spaceflight kits that high school teachers and students can build and fly on suborbital flights. Competition rules are simple. Kits should use components that are likely to be available at most high schools, and submitted experi- ments must be self-contained and fit in a standard Cubesat container. To make kits accessible to students nationwide, part of the challenge is to be able to build these kits for under $100, the kind of funds that could be raised by a school bake sale. Make Magazine has now published the rules and guidelines for the 2011 NASA Make: Challenge at http://www.makezine.com/space/rules Proposals for the NASA Make: Challenge should be submitted electronic- ally to makespacekits(a)gmail.com by midnight (Pacific Daylight Savings Time) April 30, 2011. NOTE: The NASA Make: Challenge is open to all U.S. citizens. Proposers under the age of 18 must include the permission of a parent or guardian to participate. The winner of the NASA Make: Challenge will win a trip to the Bay Area Maker Faire on May 21 & 22. The winning project will also be published in MAKE Magazine. Make Magazine is planning a webcast for the week of March 28. This will be an opportunity to learn from experts about developing experi- ments that can fly in space. They will be available for questions as well.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-065 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: * AO-51 Configuration Plans Still Affected by Eclipses * ARISSat-1 to be Activated Aboard ISS on April 12 * AMSAT Heading For Dayton Hamvention * NASA Glory Satellite and Three CubeSats Lost Vandenberg Launch Failure * Pakistan Developing Student CubeSat Projects * Satellite Shorts From All Over * NASA, Make Magazine Announce Competition to Fly Student Experiments SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-065.01 AO-51 Configuration Plans Still Affected by Eclipses AMSAT News Service Bulletin 065.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. March 6, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-065.01 AO-51 Command Station, Mark Hammond, N8MH reported that AO-51 is nearing the end of eclipse periods. Analysis of telemetery from the satellite shows that AO-51 is still not experiencing full sunlight, most likely due to spacecraft orientation and sun angle. On-board temperatures are climbing and the Command Team continues to monitor and tweak various power management parameters to take advantage of the solar power that is available. Helpful reports from users (about the transmitters turning OFF) and telemetry confirm that AO-51 is still seeing a few minutes of "dark- ness" every orbit. AO-51 was configured for "normal operational mode" on March 3, and will remain in this configuration until further notice. That includes the V/U repeater the Packet BBS with L-band uplink: AO-51 Schedule as of March 3: Mode V/U FM Voice Repeater (no PL tone needed) Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM Downlink 435.300 MHz FM Mode L/U PacSat BBS Uplink: 1268.703 MHz FSK 9k6 baud Downlink 435.150 MHz FSK 9k6 baud The Packet BBS will be open for use, but the Command Team asks for your cooperation (by standing by and not entering the queue) if you share the footprint with a command station (most often on the East coast of the US). Should conditions improve, there will be an attempt support some S-band operations--but for now that seems unlikely. The latest AO-51 status and configuration news will be posted on the amsat-bb and on the AO-51 Control Team News web page at: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/CTNews.php [ANS thanks Mark Hammond, N8MH for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-065.02 ARISSat-1 to be Activated Aboard ISS on April 12 AMSAT News Service Bulletin 065.02 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.

Clive, G3CWV noted in his UO-11 report that the satellite wasn't transmitting on its birthday but did resume its AFSK FM ASCII Telemetry on 145.826 MHz on March 3. The satellite is now transmitting during eclipses, although signals are weaker at those times. This indicates that there is still some capacity remaining in the battery. Excellent signals have been reported from stations located around the world, and good copy obtained from de- coded telemetry frames. More information can be found on-line at: http://www.g3cwv.co.uk/oscar11.htm. + Congratulations to Scott N6PG on his first satellite contacts last week via AO-51 with W7JPI, and ND9M/mm, and K0VK.

March 6, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-065.07 In a press release titled, "NASA Launches 2011 Nationwide Technology Space Competition for Education", NASA says it's Emerging Commercial Space Office (ECSO) is teaming with Make Magazine, and Teachers in Space to help develop spaceflight kits that high school teachers and students can build and fly on suborbital flights. The NASA/Make competition is designed to inspire curiosity and create interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) among classroom teachers and their students. Contenders will be invit- ed to submit ideas, concepts and prototypes for kits that teachers and students can build for future spaceflights. Competition rules are simple. Kits should use components that are likely to be available at most high schools, and submitted experi- ments must be self-contained and fit in a standard Cubesat container. To make kits accessible to students nationwide, part of the challenge is to be able to build these kits for under $100, the kind of funds that could be raised by a school bake sale. The first experiment kits to be selected will fly aboard the Excelsior STEM mission, a commercial unmanned suborbital mission sponsored by Teachers in Space and scheduled to fly in 2011. Experiment kits for the Excelsior STEM mission will be assembled by teachers at a Suborb- ital Flight Experiment Workshop to be held August 1-5, 2011 at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center's AERO Institute in Palmdale, Calif. The full NASA Press Release can be found on-line at: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/news/releases/2011/11-14AR.html Make Magazine says more details about the challenge, including rules, prizes, etc., will be coming soon. If you'd like to participate in the MAKE Space Challenge, get on the mailing list! They will notify you the details for challenge have been finalized and when the application process opens. You can sign up for the Space Challenge mailing list at: http://blog.makezine.com/space [ANS thanks NASA and Make Magazine for the above information] /EX In addition to regular membership, AMSAT offers membership in the President's Club. Members of the President's Club, as sustaining donors to AMSAT Project Funds, will be eligible to receive additional benefits. Application forms are available from the AMSAT Office.
