AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-184 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: * Getting Ready for ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V Operation * Call For Articles - Brief Author's Guide to the AMSAT Journal * DX & Rare Grids * Reminder: The DARA Matching Gift Challenge * Satellite Shorts * ARISS Report SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-184.01 Getting Ready for ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V Operation AMSAT News Service Bulletin 184.01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. July 3, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-184.01 Getting Ready for ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V Operation Here are some reminders to help you get your station ready for ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V operation. Your 2-meter FM radio or HT will work well to receive the FM voice messages and SSTV on the 145.950 MHz downlink. You will need a SSB-capable receiver to copy the BPSK telemetry beacon, the CW beacons, and the linear transponder passband. Read about the details ... 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. 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/RadioSkaf-V 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.

July 3, 2011 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-184.02 Call For Articles - Brief Author's Guide to the AMSAT Journal You are invited to share your amateur radio in space ideas and experiences with fellow satellite operators. The AMSAT Journal, a bi-monthly publication of AMSAT-North America, brings you the latest information in satellite mission planning, satellite- related hardware design and construction, satellite-related sof- tware design and implementation, and amateur radio earth station construction. There are plenty of opportunities for you to share your ideas and experience across all levels. Did you homebrew a successful antenna? Which setup did you use for your first satellite con- tacts? A brief write-up and photos are appreciated by everyone! Do you have ideas about future amateur radio space missions? Can you describe unique aspects of a particular orbit and the equip- ment needed to make it work? Simply type out your ideas on your computer and send them in. Let the AMSAT Journal editorial team do the clean up and formatting for you. Its easy to send your article to the AMSAT Journal e-mail box via journal(a)amsat.org. There is no need to do any special formatting on your submission because the final layout format is driven by the magazine's typesetting software. All you need to include is: + Your text in MS-Word or plain text format Graphics saved in separate + files (jpg, gif, tiff) (Actually, an MS-Word file with embedded graphics is the most diffi- cult format to typeset.)
