July 15 Deadline to File ARISS Contact Proposals
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 177.03

BID: $ANS-177.03
NASA is seeking U.S. formal and informal education institutions
and organizations, individually or working together, to host an
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station, or ARISS, con-
tact between the dates of Jan. 15 and July 15, 2012.
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.
The deadline to submit a proposal is July 15, 2011.
During the first six months of 2012, crew members aboard the
International Space Station will participate in amateur radio con-
tacts.
ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity to learn
firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space.
Due to the nature of human spaceflight, organizations must demon-
strate the flexibility to accommodate changes in contact dates and
times.
Interested parties should contact Teaching From Space to obtain infor-
mation related to expectations, content, format, audience, proposal
guidelines and forms by sending an e-mail to JSC-TFS-ARISS(a)mail.nasa.gov
or by calling 281-244-2320.

The Zooniverse is home to the internet's largest, most popular
and most successful citizen science projects. You can find all
the details of their projects at http://www.zooniverse.org/
Zooniverse has added a project where Citizen Scientists help choose
an additional destination or two for a spacecraft heading to the outer
solar system. Ice Hunters will allow the public to help discover a
potential new, icy follow-on destination for NASA's New Horizons space-
craft, which is currently en route to make the first flyby of the Pluto
system. After it zooms past Pluto, the spacecraft will have the capabil-
ity to explore other Kuiper Belt Objects. The destination has yet to be
chosen. That's where you can help.
With Ice Hunters, the public can help scientists search through deep
telescopic images for currently unknown objects in the Kuiper Belt.
What's cool is that you'll be searching for Kuiper Belt Objects and
potential dwarf planets in much the same way that Clyde Tombaugh found
Pluto: comparing images of the same region of the Kuiper Belt and look-
ing for objects that move or vary in brightness.

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.

AMSAT-NA Files Formal Comments on Proposed ITAR Changes
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 170.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 19, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-170.01
AMSAT submitted comments to the U.S. Department of State/Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) on June 13, 2011 in response to their
proposed rule making on International Traffic in Arms Regulations
(ITAR), which would provide clarification on defense services, noting
that public domain material is not subject to ITAR.
AMSAT asked DDTC to not only acknowledge that public domain materials
are not subject to ITAR, but to expand the scope of how they view how
materials are to be placed in the public domain. AMSAT requested that
rather than focus on the method of placement of materials in the public
domain (e.g. printed publication), the critical criteria should be the
intent of the originator to broadly and freely make such material
available to anyone who has the ability to access it via appropriate
means, including electronic origination and distribution.
The full copy of AMSAT's comments will be published in an upcoming
edition of the AMSAT Journal. An electronic copy of AMSAT's comments

It's Time to Get Ready For ARISSat-1
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 170.03
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 19, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-170.03
A few weeks remain before the planned July deployment of ARISSat-1
from the ISS. The AMSAT News Service will bring you more details
in the coming weeks. Here are some reminders to help you get your
station ready for ARISSat-1 operation.
145.950 MHz FM Downlink:
------------------------
FM transmissions will cycle between a voice ID as RS01S, select tele-
metry values, 24 international greeting messages in 15 languages and
SSTV images. One of the messages will be a conversation between Yuri
Gagarin and ground control. See the next news item for pointers to get
your station ready to receive the SSTV images.
435 MHz - 145 MHz Linear Transponder:
-------------------------------------
The linear transponder will operate in Mode U/V (70 cm Up, 2m Down).
It is an 16 KHz wide inverting passband and the convention will be to
TX LSB on the 435 MHz uplink and RX USB on the 145 MHz downlink. This
mode is designed to work with low power transmitters and omni antenna.
145.919 MHz/145.939 MHz CW Beacon:
----------------------------------
The CW transmissions will be callsign ID RS01S, select telemetry, and
callsigns of people actively involved with the ARISS program.
145.920 MHz SSB BPSK-1000 Telemetry:
------------------------------------
The BPSK transmissions will feature a new 1kBPSK protocol developed
by Phil Karn, KA9Q to be readable in low signal level conditions.
The BPSK data will transmit satellite telemetry.
The ARISSat-1 BPSK-1000 downlink is transmitted in SSB mode on
145.920 MHz. When the CW2 beacon on 145.919 MHz is active this
indicates that the BPSK-1000 format is being transmitted. If the
CW1 beacon on 145.939 MHz is active this indicates the backup of
BPSK-400 format is being transmitted.
Transmitting at 100 mW, both BPSK rates include Forward Error
Correction (FEC) and it is expected that modest quarter-wave
antennas with low-loss coaxial cable will provide sufficient
signal strength for decoding and display by the ARISSatTLM
software.
An audio feed from an SSB receiver to the computer's soundcard
input is needed. An initial "Receive Only" configuration is easily
done consisting of an audio patch cable between your radio and
the soundcard. Take the speaker or headphone output from the radio
and run it into the line (or mic) input on your PC sound card.
BPSK-1000 sounds like a "shusssch" with a higher pitch than the
400 bps growl. It is difficult to tune by ear. The CW2 beacon is
used as a tuning signal for BPSK-1000. The PC and Mac ARISSatTLM
software display contains a dotted line that you use to tune your
receiver until the CW signal bumps lines up with the dotted line
on your PC screen. This will allow you to decode the BPSK-1000
signal and you will also be able to copy the CW2 beacon.

ARRISat-1 Team Pointers to Get Ready for SSTV Reception
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 170.04
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 19, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-170.04
The ARISSat-1 FM downlink on 145.950 MHz includes live SSTV
images as part of the cycling voice ID, select spoken telemetry
values, and the international greeting messages. Here are some
pointers to help you get your station ready to receive and dis-
the SSTV pictures transmitted by ARISSat-1.
One fun feature is that there are four SSTV cameras mounted on
the spacecraft. On photos of ARISSat-1 you may have noticed black
brackets on the outside of the spacecraft. These hold the mirrors
that reflect the light onto the lens of the cameras. The software-
defined-transponder will use the image data from the cameras to
generate the SSTV downlink.
ARISSat's software will sequentially select a new or stored image
from one the four cameras. There are two pre-recorded images as
part of the sequence. The camera that took the the picture can be
identified by the color of the call sign in the upper left of the
SSTV image. The SSTV image will be sent down as FM audio SSTV in
Robot 36 format on 145.950 MHz about every 140 seconds.
The RF downlink power on the 145.950 MHz FM downlink will be 250mW
which is predicted to provide a link margin around 6 dB on an HT
with a 'big whip' when the satellite is at 15 degrees elevation. This
should be sufficient to receive SSTV pictures although you may need
to orient the whip to line up the antenna polarization.
ARISSat-1 is not stabilized so the antenna orientation is unpredict-
able and a certain amount of fading will happen. The receiving link
margin may be improved with a handheld beam such as an "Arrow", "Elk",
or "Cheap Yagi" antenna.
(See: http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf)
General Overview Radio-to-Soundcard Interface
---------------------------------------------
To view the SSTV downlink from ARISSat-1 you'll need a computer
running SSTV software for your soundcard and an audio connection
between your radio and the computer.
If you are already on the air with other amateur radio soundcard
applications chances are you are ready to receive ARISSat's SSTV
downlink with little or no modification to your setup.
The audio from the radio to the computer is the key link. An initial
"Receive Only" configuration is easily done consisting of an audio
patch cable between your radio and the soundcard. Take the speaker
or headphone output from the radio and run it into the line (or mic)
input on your PC sound card.
Setting the level is simple also as the MMSSTV software has a bar
indicator. Just adjust the sound card gain slider and/or radio volume
control so that the SSTV signal is within the center part of the bar.
MMSSTV will give you an "overflow" indication if the volume is too
high.
If your rig has a 'Line Out' connection this can be run to the
soundcard 'Line In'. Using the radio 'Line Out' you won't have to
deal with the interaction of the radio's volume control with the
soundcard levels. But you will still need to use the soundcard
'Volume Control' to set the 'Line In' levels.
SSTV Software Download Sites
----------------------------
There are many amateur radio SSTV software decoding applications
available. One of the easiest to use on Windows computers is the
MMSSTV program. This can be downloaded from:
http://mmhamsoft.amateur-radio.ca/pages/mmsstv.php
The Ham Radio Deluxe software package also includes SSTV operation.
SSTV software for the Mac is available at:

Data is transmitted from STEREO in one of two modes; (a) high speed
(currently 720 kbps), stored data (up to 1 Gb), intended for the Deep
Space Network (DSN) to collect the high resolution science data some
8 hours/day, and (b) a low speed 633 bps continuous real time subset
of the solar data intended for collection by smaller ground stations.
AMSAT collects low speed data. The ground stations then forward the
data via the Internet to NASA GSFC for processing where it is posted
on the web in near real time for all to use, including the various
world wide organizations monitoring and predicting Space Weather.
The ground network for the low speed data is organized and coordin-
ated by the SWPC in Boulder, Colorado.
The spacecraft transmit 63 watts to a 1.1m dish at 8.4 GHz RHCP, an
e.i.r.p. of approximately 85 dBm.

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. And, with that
please keep in mind the ham who figured he had some explaining to do
when his young daughter announced, "I'm just like mommy! I put on the
Oil of Old Lady lotion you said she uses!"

(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.

ARISSat-1 Reception Challenge
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 163.01

June 12, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-163.01
ARISSat-1 Reception Challenge
ARISSat-1 is scheduled for deployment from the ISS in July. It has a
composite VHF downlink that will easily fit into the FUNcube Dongle
receive spectrum. The telemetry is 1000 bps BPSK and can, of course,
also be received with a normal SSB 2 metre receiver.
The expected signal levels from ARISSat should be similar to those we
expect from FUNcube itself (and also eventually from UKube) and the
team are keen to discover what will be the minimum and best type of
antennas for schools to use with a FCD. Therefore user experience with
the ARISSat signals will be very valuable in making this determination.
To encourage everyone to receive ARISSat signals we are offering a FUN
reward for listeners!
There are a number of categories for this challenge including:
1. The first FCD user, from each continent, who can post a spectrum
recording of the received signal together with evidence of decoding
the data using the ARISSat software and of sending it to the ARISSat
data warehouse.
2. The first non-FCD user, from each continent, who can provide evidence
of having decoded the signals and of sending it to the ARISSat data
warehouse.
3. The listener, using a FCD or not, who can demonstrate satisfactory
reception of the telemetry in the same ways as described above,
using
the "smallest" possible receive antenna. The actual closing date for
this part of the challenge will be announced later.
4. All other entrants who can demonstrate that they have been having
FUN!
Please submit your "entries", including your location, station details
(including FCD serial number where applicable), postal address and
reports
to g0auk<at>amsat.org.

Reminder-2011 AMSAT Field Day Competition
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 163.07
> From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 12, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-163.07
Field Day is June 25 & 26.
Annual readiness excersize is a great way to demo Satellite Operations.
AMSAT Director of Awards, Bruce Paige, KK5DO says, "It's that time of
year again: Summer and Field Day!"
Each year the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field Day
as an emergency preparedness exercise. The event takes place during
a 24-hour period on the fourth weekend of June. For 2011 the event
takes place during a 27-hour period from 1800 UTC on Saturday
June 25, 2011 through 2100 UTC on Sunday June 26, 2011.
Those who set up prior to 1800 UTC on June 25 can operate only
24 hours.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes its own version
of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites, held concurrently
with the ARRL event.
Bruce advises, "If you are considering ONLY the FM voice satellites like
AMRAD-OSCAR-27, SaudiSat-Oscar-50, or AMSAT-OSCAR-51 for your AMSAT
Field
Day focus. Don't, unless you are simply hoping to make one contact for
the
ARRL rules bonus points."
The congestion on FM LEO satellites was so intense in prior years that
we
must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satellite. This
includes the International Space Station. You will be allowed one QSO
if the ISS is operating Voice. You will also be allowed one digital QSO
with the ISS or any other digital, non- store-and-forward, packet
satellite
(if operational).
Please refer to these links for the full document of the AMSAT Field
Day rules:

an alternative site is:

AMSAT Server Upgrade News
AMSAT's network manager Paul Williamson, KB5MU reminded users of the
http://www.amsat.org features and news that, "The AMSAT.ORG computer
has been upgraded and moved to a new location. Although it still re-
mains on the UCSD campus, the new location required that a new IP ad-
dress be assigned. The transition should theoretically be seamless,
but some users may have trouble until their network's DNS servers
take notice of the update."
Unless your network admin has done something unusual, any problems
should clear up by themselves within a few days at most.
Please report any ongoing problems to Paul via kb5mu(a)amsat.org or
paul(a)mustbeart.com if the problem prevents email from getting
through to amsat.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 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.

Eclipses Continue to Affect AO-51 Operation
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 156.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 5, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-156.01
Last week's ANS bulletins reported that the AO-51 Command Team had
successfully restored the satellite to partial operations. AO-51 at
that time required a reload/reboot sequence every time it emerged
from eclipse due to the Integrated Housekeeping (IHU) computer crash-
ing from low battery voltage.
This week AMSAT VP-Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA said, "AO-51's
computer has been running for over 5 hours now. We have left the sat-
ellite in repeater mode 145.88/435.15 for the time being, at over 2
watts. We are very surprised by this development to say the least.
Without Whole Orbit Data we are flying a bit blind, so would really
like to know what the satellite is doing in eclipse. Please send your
reports to me or to the amsat-bb. Southern hemisphere observations
are most very welcome."
+ Robert, NH7WN reported from Honolulu: "AO51 was alive and well as
she came out of eclipse on June 2. I was able to hear myself per-
fectly on the downlink (145.880 up and 435.150 down)."
+ Brett reported: "Heard on AO-51 today pass over Australia/New Zealand
145.880/435.150 Strong signals. Copied VK1AMG, ZL2BX, VK4VDX."
+ Alan, ZL2BX reported: "AO-51 solid signals in ZL. AOS (0459 UT) about
five minutes after it came out of eclipse. Later on June 3, I can
finally confirm that AO-51 is loud and clear over ZL in full eclipse.
with solid signals from the transponder."
+ Dave, KB5WIA reported from California, "AO-51 was in great shape as
it passed south above the Pacific Ocean on June 3. I had a nice S9+
full quieting downlink for the entire pass."
The Command Team has analyzed AO-51 live telemetry when the satellite
is in range of a ground station because Whole Orbit Data is lost when
the IHU Computer crashes. Drew, KO4MA summarized, "Cell 3 is reporting
0.0 volts, so it's clear it has shorted completely."
Donations for Fox and ARISSat-1 are being collected. If you haven't
yet donated, please drop by http://www.amsat.org, or call Martha at
the AMSAT Office at 1-888-322-6728 today and help us get Fox in space.

>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 5, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-156.02
The Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) has announced a fund
raising challenge for AMSAT whereby they will match on a 1:3 basis
up to $5,000.00 for donations made in 2011. That is, for every $3.00
that AMSAT raises, DARA will provide $1.00 up to a maximum of $5,000
donated by DARA.
AMSAT kicked off the fundraising campaign at the Hamvention, where
donations began count against this goal. Please consider making a
donation to AMSAT at Hamvention or anytime this Spring as we strive
to meet this goal.
We appreciate DARA's support for AMSAT and see this as an opportunity
for donors to increase the impact of their donations by taking advan-
tage of this matching program.

AMSAT-DL Break FUNcube Dongle Distance Record

A story first reported on the Southgate ARC news web site reported
members of AMSAT-DL have received the Stereo B spacecraft at a dis-
tance of 219 million kilometers using an AMSAT-UK FUNcube Dongle
Software Defined Radio as the I.F. in combination with a downcon-
verter.
Stereo B transmits in the X band around 8 GHz so could not be receiv-
ed by the FUNcube Dongle directly since that covers 64-1700 MHz. A
downconverter was installed at the dish feed and the 1280 MHz output
was fed into the FUNcube Dongle SDR.
The frequency of Stereo B varies due to Doppler shift (of the rotating
Earth) and was calculated by the tracking software.
Watch Mario Lorenz DL5MLO explain how the record was broken Receiving
Stereo B with a FUNcube dongle and the Bochum 20m dish:

2011 AMSAT Field Day Competition

To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-156.07
AMSAT Director of Awards, Bruce Paige, KK5DO says, "It's that time
of year again: Summer and Field Day!"
Each year the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field
Day as an emergency preparedness exercise. The event takes place
during a 24-hour period on the fourth weekend of June. For 2011
the event takes place during a 27-hour period from 1800 UTC on
Saturday June 25, 2011 through 2100 UTC on Sunday June 26, 2011.
Those who set up prior to 1800 UTC on June 25 can operate only
24 hours.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes its own
version of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites,
held concurrently with the ARRL event.
Bruce advises, "If you are considering ONLY the FM voice satellites
like AMRAD-OSCAR-27, SaudiSat-Oscar-50, or AMSAT-OSCAR-51 for your
AMSAT Field Day focus. Don't, unless you are simply hoping to make
one contact for the ARRL rules bonus points."
The congestion on FM LEO satellites was so intense in prior years
that we must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satel-
lite. This includes the International Space Station. You will be
allowed one QSO if the ISS is operating Voice. You will also be
allowed one digital QSO with the ISS or any other digital, non-
store-and-forward, packet satellite (if operational).

US Army Supports Student Launch Program

White Sands Missile Range NM (SPX) Jun 03, 2011. A scientific rocket
screamed skyward at Spaceport America May 20, 2011, as students from
all over New Mexico, as well as Texas and Arizona came to see their
scientific payloads fly into space during a scientific and educational
mission supported by White Sands Missile Range.
The rocket carried 27 experiments from elementary, middle schools,
high schools and universities into space before returning to earth,
and landing at White Sands Missile Range, or WSMR. Under the New
Mexico Space Grant Student Launch Program, students were able to
assemble their own scientific payloads to be launched over 65 miles
above the earth.
The student payloads, divided into seven different canisters within
the rocket were a varied as the students who built them. Crammed into
the canisters were cameras, radiation monitoring sensors, and other
measurement devices, along with some more advanced systems.
"We had things from roasting green chilies to marshmallows to using
a piezo electric board, tesla coils, and a lot of temperature monitors
and Geiger counters, a bunch of variety, and a lot of magnetic experi-
ments also," said Bruce Lewis with the space grant office and spaceport
office.
The rocket launch represented more than just an educational opportun-
ity for the students, but a cooperative effort between different
organizations and companies. Even though the rockets flight began at
Spaceport America, a state-run spaceport, it ended its flight on White
Sands Missile Range and used range airspace.
"This is White Sands airspace that we're flying in, so White Sand
controls that airspace for us. We have a great relationship with White
Sands and we had a lot of support from (WSMRs) team," said Pat Hynes,
director of the Space Grant Consortium.
The recovery of the rocket, and it's return to the students was con-
ducted by White Sands Missile Range's Army Air. While the rocket was
awaiting recovery White Sands Missile Range Chief of Staff Dan Hicks
spoke with the students about the future of high technology careers
and the kind of opportunities in those fields offered by WSMR and the
Army.
"The majority of the workforce consists of engineers and mathematicians
and other scientific fields. We've got about 4,000 people on the test
center and garrison side that have that type of background. So in order
to be specific to what it takes to get a job out at White Sands one of
the key things would be to continue your education into college and get
a degree," Hicks said.
Hick Also answered questions from the students about spaceflight, how
the range operates and the kind of radar systems used to track rockets
like the one used in the experiment.
Data collected by these various devices had a variety of applications,
with some being educational in nature, giving the students a glimpse
of what it means to send something into space, and other experiments
having more direct applications to the future of space flight.
"Some of it is great data; some of it is fun data. So you're got both
the fun stuff and some things that are collecting real empirical data
that NASA may be able to use in the future," Lewis said.
One experiment bridged the gap between the two. An experiment conducted
by Aztec High School harvested the physical motion of the rocket in
flight and converted it into electricity which was then used to power a
small electric oven and roast a green chili. While roasting green chilies
isn't critical to the future of space flight, the electricity could have
other purposes.
"What we wanted to see is if you could power something in the rocket
just using piezo electrics, just using the own forces of the rocket to
generate it's own electricity while flying up into space," said Braden
Goimarac, from Aztec High School's "Black Ops" science team.
