This is the 1U cubesat which is slated as the FM repeater transponder to replace AO-51. The Proceedings of the AMSAT-NA 30th Symposium and AMSAT-NA Annual Meeting, October 26-28 in Orlando, Florida have been put in the on- line AMSAT Store. Please visit the store at: http://store.amsat.org/catalog/ The proceedings contains over 30 articles on subjects ranging from current satellite operations to detailed updates on the Fox Project. AMSAT's Fox web page at http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/fox/ now has been refreshed with the latest information from the Symposium: + Fox-1 Mechanical design and component integration diagrams + Fox-1 Thermal Design + Fox-1 Radiation Environment + Preliminary screenshot view of Fox-1 Telemetry Program Fox-1A's design goals include: + Fox-1 is designed to operate in sunlight without batteries once the battery system fails. This applies lessons learned from AO-51 and ARISSat-1 operations. + In case of IHU computer failure Fox-1 will continue to operate its FM repeater in a basic, 'zombie sat' mode, so that the repeater remains on-the-air. + Fox-1 is designed as the immediate replacement for AO-51. Its U/V (Mode B) transponder will make it even easier to work with modest equipment. + From the ground user's perspective, the same FM amateur radio equipment used for AO-51 may be used for Fox-1. AMSAT's Fox-1 project timeline is based on targeting a launch in the second half of 2013. NASA will determine on which flight each of the Project ELaNa CubeSats fly. Watch for news in the AMSAT Journal for details of AMSAT's partner- ship with universities, the National Science Foundation, and NASA in seeking grants for getting the first and future Fox generation sat- ellites into orbit.

[ANS thanks Martha at the AMSAT Office for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- PhoneSat CubeSat to Launch from Wallops in December The PhoneSat cubesat is planned for launch aboard a new commercial rocket from Orbital Sciences Corp. Orbital's initial flight of the Antares-110 vehicle will carry PhoneSat into low earth orbit around December 17. The vehicle will be launched from a new launch pad LA-0A at Wallops Island, where the former Conestoga launch pad was located. Phonesat carries an amateur radio payload on 437.425 MHz, has been chosen as one of the winners in the Aerospace category for the Pop- ular Science magazine "Best of What's New 2012" awards. PhoneSat is a technology demonstration mission consisting of three 1U CubeSats intended to prove that a smartphone can be used to per- form many of the functions required of a spacecraft bus. The satellite is built around the Nexus smartphone which will be run- ning the Android operating system and will be enclosed in a standard 1U cubesat structure. The main function of the phone is to act as the Onboard Computer, but the mission will also utilize the phone's SD card for data storage, 5MP camera for Earth Observation, and 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer for attitude determination. One of the nanosatellites, powered by the HTC Nexus One smartphone, will send back pictures of Earth. The other two, running on the Sam- sung Nexus S, will have two-way S-band radio allowing them to be controlled from Earth. With a short lifetime of only about one week, the satellites have no solar cells and operate on battery only.

According to one of the three Mayan Calendars, the End of the world will occur on Dec 21, 2012. To celebrate this literally once in a lifetime event, Special Event Sta- tion N0D (Now Zero Days) will be activated for three days during and after(?) the end of the world. December 20 is a celebration of the end of the world. December 21, the day of destruction, we will be on the air as long as possible. December 22nd, that is a little iffy right now. N0D will be activated on the satellites by Allen Mattis, N5AFV, on December 20, 2012, on December 21, 2012 unless the day of destruc- tion makes that impossible, and on December 22, 2012 if the world survives. More information is available on the Official N0D website: http://www.nowzerodays.com You can also e-mail the N0D team at N0D.Doomsday(a)gmail.com Amateur radio stations around the crumbling globe are invited to con- tact N0D, who will be operating from a secret undisclosed location. QSL with SASE to the address in QRZ. If Doomsday actually does happen, we regret that a QSL will not be possible so hold on to your SASE un- til the 22nd at least. Check out the website for a preview of the N0D QSL card. You can celebrate Doomsday by contacting N0D directly on the air. Amateurs can also become an official Doomsday station by register- ing on the website. You will be given a registration number and the authority to identify yourself as "Official Doomsday Station" fol- lowed by your Doomsday number. Official N0D Doomsday apparel will be available soon; T-shirts, Caps and buttons. Official Doomsday stations will receive the Doomsday Station Certifi- cate. Stations contacting at least 10 Official Doomsday Stations dur- ing the event will be recognized on the web site. It is not entirely clear exactly how it will happen. Will it be a cataclysmic shift in the earth's magnetic field, Global Warming on steroids, earthquakes, volcanoes floods, global thermonuclear war, Meteor collision, the 10 plagues of Egypt, UFO invasion. who knows? There are scientists, soothsayers and philosophers on both sides of the question. Either way it will be an event worth remembering ... or maybe there will be no one left to remember it?

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-323 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 Please, share your copy of ANS with an Educator near you! In this edition: * FITSAT-1 plans to flash the LEDs on Christmas Eve. * Space Education A Key To The Future * Reminder - Call for Photos From Space Symposium and KSC Tour * November 20 Deadline for Proposals in NASA's Cubesat Initiative * Indonesia Announces Plans for 2013 Launch * 2012 AMSAT Symposium Proceedings Available in the AMSAT Store * SSTV Images from the ISS Nov 2012 * Successful ARISS Contacts * US Postal Department Proposes to Discontinue IRCs * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-323.01 ANS-323 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 323.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. DATE, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-323.01 FITSAT-1 (NIWAKI) plans to flash the LEDs on Christmas Eve. During a recent exchange discussing FITSAT-1 on the AMSAT-BB, Kevin Deane, KF7MYK asked, "When is the LED MORSE supposed to happen?," FITSAT-1 creator Professor Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG, promptly replied "We plan to flash the LEDs on Christmas Eve. So we will start testing around the end of this month." The LED optical array may be visible to the unaided eye. There has been much discussion about FITSAT-1 being received in the USA on 5.8GHz. However another part of FITSAT-1's mission is to flash the message "Hi this Niwaka Japan" using its array of stacked LEDs. Whereas, the Morse broadcast has "no practical aim," Tanaka, and his team of Japanese students, think it would make a good emergency beacon for natural disasters (or, more worryingly, alien invasions). The FITSAT-1 CubeSat was developed by students at the Fukuoka Insti- tute of Technology (FIT) in Japan. In addition to the LED array it also has a CW beacon on 437.250 MHz, a data link on 437.445 MHz and a 5840.0 MHz data downlink. Further FITSAT-1 information is on-line at: http://www.fit.ac.jp/~tanaka/fitsat.shtml [ANS thanks Kevin, Deane, Takushi Tanaka, Jaonne Maenpaa and AMSAT- BB for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Space Education A Key To The Future Educators, who effectively use space themes to inspire students and strengthen lesson plans, have a great opportunity for additional support from the nation's premier space advocacy organization. The Space Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2013 flight of Teacher Liaisons. This will be the 10th year of this prestigious, nationally recognized program that provides an honored few educators numerous benefits and privileges, helps strengthen their teaching skills, builds re'sume's and influences education at a national level. Pre K-20 teachers and other professional or informal educators in the Pre K-20 arena are eligible to be Space Foundation Teacher Liaisons. Teacher Liaisons tend to be Master Teachers who want to inspire the next generation of students to pursue and excel in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Teacher Liaisons do not need to be science or math teachers; they need only to have a desire to integrate space education within their curriculum. Space Foundation Teacher Liaisons serve as active links between the Space Foundation, NASA and their schools and school districts. This influential role includes numerous benefits, privileges and activities such as special recognition during the 29th National Space Symposium, to be held at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado, April 8-11, 2013. There is no fee to apply, or membership cost. http://www.spacefoundation.org/educationtemp/tls/user/ http://www.satmagazine.com/2012/SM_Nov2012.pdf [ANS thanks November 2012 SatMagazine for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminder - Call for Photos From Space Symposium and KSC Tour The AMSAT Journal looks forward to publishing selected photos of our 2012 Space Symposium, General Meeting, and the Kennedy Space Center tour.

[ANS thanks AMSAT Journal Editor JoAnne, K9JKM for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- November 20 Deadline for Proposals in NASA's Cubesat Initiative NASA is seeking proposals for small satellite payloads to fly on rockets planned to launch between 2013 and 2016. These miniature spacecraft, known as CubeSats, could be auxiliary payloads on pre- viously planned missions. CubeSats are a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. These cube-shaped satellites are approximately four inches long, have a volume of about one quart and weigh less than three pounds. Proposed CubeSat investigations must be consistent with NASA's Stra- tegic Plan and the NASA education vision and goals. The research must address aspects of science, exploration, technology develop- ment, education or operations. Applicants must submit proposals electronically by 4:30 p.m. EST, Nov. 20, 2012. NASA will select the payloads by Jan. 31, 2013. Sel- ection does not guarantee a launch opportunity. The selected space craft will be eligible for flight after final negotiations when a launch opportunity arises. NASA will not provide funding for the development of the small satellites. NASA recently announced the results from the third round of the CubeSat Launch Initiative. From the first three launch initiatives, 64 payloads made the short list for launch opportunities between 2011 and 2014. They are eligible for launch pending an appropriate opportunity and final negotiations. The satellites come from 25 states: Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mex- ico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.

Occasionally, the astronauts aboard the ISS turn on the SSTV (Slow Scan TV) equipment on their amateur radio station and beam signals from their vantage point back down to us amateurs on the ground. After being tipped off via the ISS Fan Club website that SSTV was active, I calculated a suitable overhead path and connected the audio output of my 2 metre rig to the soundcard on my PC, and tuned in. The frequency in use for the downlink was 145.800MHz, and I set up a digital recorder to capture the received audio. Without too much fiddling about, the image was received pretty well, with only a tiny bit of noise, and a fairly minor image attribute on the left. [ANS thanks Essex Ham (and Trevor, M5AKA) for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ARISS UPDATES Successful ARISS Contact for 1 Circolo Didattico G.Marconi, Casamassima, Italy Friday November 9, 2012 at 12:53 UTC, which is 13:53 CEST, students from 1 Circolo Didattico G.Marconi, Casamassima, Italy established ARISS contact with JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide KE5DNI onboard the International Space Station.

[ANS thanks John Spasojevich, AG9D for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- US Postal Department Proposes to Discontinue IRCs ATTENTION DX'ers who mail to foreign countries for QSL cards: If the US Postal Service (USPS) gets its way, it will no longer sell International Reply Coupons (IRCs) after January 27, 2013. According to the October 23 edition of the Federal Register, there is not sufficient demand for the USPS to continue offering IRCs to customers; however, per the Universal Postal Union (UPU) regulations, the USPS must continue to exchange (redeem) IRCs that have been purchased in foreign countries and presented at USPS facilities. The current Nairobi model is valid through December 31, 2013. Comments on this proposed change will be accepted http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=USPS-2012-0101-0001 through November 23, 2012. IRCs provide foreign addressees with a prepaid means of responding to inquiries, solicitations or other types of communications -- such as QSL cards -- that are initiated by US senders. IRCs are exchangeable for postage stamps by postal administrations in member countries of the UPU. Each IRC is equivalent in value to the destination country's minimum postage price for an unregistered airmail letter. The purchase price is in the US is currently $2.20 per IRC. -- Thanks to The Daily DX for some information.
