December 30, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-365.01 Satellites Removed From Munitions List Space Export Control Reform Passes House and Senate by SpaceMart.com Staff Writers Washington DC (SPX) Dec 27, 2012 Legislation reforming space-related export control has passed the House and the Senate and is expected to be signed by the President. The legislation is included in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, under Sec. 1261, Removal of Satellites and Related Items from the United States Munitions List (USML). The legislation contains restrictions, including prohibitions spe- cific to China, North Korea, and any country that is a state spon- sor of terrorism. The passage of this legislation is significant and brings with it the promise that U.S. universities will be better supported in their mission to prepare the workforce needed to design and deploy the space systems of the future and enable the U.S. to remain a leader in space. Current law had resulted in unintended, adverse impact on U.S. uni- versities, from classroom teaching to student-built CubeSats. Dr. Frederick Tarantino, USRA President, said, "This new legislation strengthens U.S. national security and helps restore the crucial role of university research and education." The legislation is consistent with the recommendation by the Depart- ments of Defense and State, which, in consultation with the Depart- ment of Commerce and intelligence community, concluded in the Sec- tion 1248 Report that "Current law forces the U.S. government to continue to protect commonly available satellites and related items on the USML, thus impeding the U.S. ability to work with partners and putting U.S. manufacturers at a disadvantage, but providing no noticeable benefit to national security." This action by the Congress follows years of effort by USRA's 105- member-university Council of Institutions to inform members of Con- gress and Administration officials on how appropriate reform will strengthen our national security, better enable U.S. research inno- vation, and support U.S. workforce development. USRA joined with industry, including the Satellite Industry Associa- tion and the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, in strongly endorsing the Safeguarding United States Satellite Leadership and Security Act of 2012, sponsored by Sen. Michael Bennet (CO). USRA also worked with the American Association of Universities (AAU) in bringing to the attention of the Congress and the Administration the chilling effect of current space export control on U.S. univers- ities and U.S. students and the critical need for reform. Professor Scott Pace, a USRA Trustee and Director of the Space Policy Institute of The George Washington University, said, "This is a long overdue change that restores accountability to the Executive Branch while maintaining Congressional oversight. Both sides of the aisle are to be congratulated for this successful outcome."

This year's event is dedicated to the memory of John Thompson, W1BIH/PJ9JT, who passed away in 2012, aged 96. Although known primarily as an HF DXer and contester, John was also active on OSCAR, mostly on CW. As always, SKN on OSCAR is simple and informal. Just operate CW through one or more satellites on 1 January 2013 (0000 to 2400 UTC), using a straight hand key. There is no need to send in a log, but all participants are encouraged to nominate someone they worked for Best Fist. Your nominee need not have the best fist of anyone you heard, only of those you worked. Send your nomination to w2rs at amsat.org. A list of those nominated will appear in ANS and the AMSAT Journal. [ANS thanks Ray Soifer, W2RS for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Activation of Mawson in Antarctica Leaving soon on board the ice breaker Aurora Australis for the Australian Antarctic Territory station at Mawson is Craig Hayhow VK6JJJ, who will become VK0JJJ. He lands on February the 10th, planning to soon after install the 6m beacon VK0RTM and test the propagation on that band. The main HF rig is a FlexRadio Flex-5000A coupled to an amplifier and feeding a terminated sloping triangle antenna. On 6m it will be at 400 watts from Mawson thanks to a power amplifier from Steve Gregory VK3ZAZ, who is also the QSL manager, and radiated by a 5-element yagi. The amateur satellites on 2m and 70cm are to be accessed using a crossed duo-bander. During the next 12 months Craig VK0JJJ is in Antarctica to work and amateur radio is his leisure time activity.

Registration for the workshop is now open. This is a free event and is open to all, hosted by the Open University, Milton Keynes, on 22 January 2013. Please note that space is limited and places will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis. The event will be an opportunity for the UK Space Agency to pro- vide the cubesat community with an update on its pilot cubesat mission UKube-1, due for launch in early 2013, and to discuss the overall philosophy and timing for the proposed UKube-2 programme. Attendees will have the opportunity to provide input on the future direction of a proposed rolling national programme of cubesat mis- sions. Parallel breakout sessions will be held as detailed in the download- able programme. These themes have been selected in response to the common issues raised by members of the community. The findings from each session will feed into a concluding discussion in which follow up actions will be identified. A copy of the workshop program can be found on-line at: http://tinyurl.com/UK-Cubesat-Workshop (bis.gov.uk) UK Space Agency http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency [ANS thanks Southgate for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- SA AMSAT SPACE SYMPOSIUM - CALL FOR PAPERS The 2013 SA AMSAT Space Symposium will be held on Saturday, 18 May 2013 at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria. This is the first call for papers. The theme of the symposium is "Satel- lites - the new Amateur Radio Frontier". If you are planning to present a paper, send a brief outline to saamsat(a)sarl.org.za by 31 January 2013. For full details and the various deadline dates visit http://www.amsatsa.org.za. [ANS thanks AMSAT-SA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- New Satellite Launch Vehicle To Carry CubeSat Swarm in 2013 A report on the AMSAT-UK web says 2013 should see the first flight of a new satellite launch vehicle. (See: http://www.uk.amsat.org/?p=12014) Super Strypi, also known as SPARK (Space-borne Payload Assist Rocket - Kauai), has been developed by Sandia National Laboratories, the University of Hawaii and Aerojet. The rocket is based on an enlarged version of Sandia's Strypi sounding rocket. The all solid fueled vehicle uses a GEM-46 (LEO-46) motor of Delta-2H heritage as first stage. A Orbus-7S (LEO-7) motor acts as second stage and a Star-30BP (Spark-30) or an Orbus-1 (LEO-1) as third stage. It is spin and fin stabilized during fist stage burn and has attitude control for the two upper stages. The low cost rocket will be launch- ed from a rail launcher and can put a payload of 250 kg into a 400 km sun-synchronous orbit. The Super Strypi vehicle will be launched from a rail-launcher at Barking Sands, Kauai (Pacific Missile Range Facility) towards the end of 2013. Super Strypi will be carrying a swarm of CubeSats, the Edison Demon- stration of Smallsat Networks (EDSN). The CubeSats are an unusual size of 10 by 10 by 15 cm (1.5U) and weigh 2 kg. The EDSN swarm will demonstrate distributed, multipoint space weather measurement and are expected to operate for at least 60 days and have an orbit life-time of up to 4 years.

The launch from Baikonur in Kazakhstan is expected to take place in March 2013. UKube-1 has also completed Thermal Vacuum Testing to verify the spacecraft operation in a simulated space environment. UKube-1 will carry a set of AMSAT-UK FUNcube boards to provide a 435/145 MHz linear transponder and a 145.915 MHz BPSK telemetry beacon for educational outreach. Payloads in UKube-1 include: the first GPS device aimed at measur- ing plasmaspheric space weather; a camera that will take images of the Earth, and test the effect of radiation on space hardware, us- ing a new generation of imaging sensor; an experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of using cosmic radiation to improve the security of communications satellites and to flight test lower cost electron- ic systems; an advanced mission interface computer to enable serious number crunching on tiny spacecraft; a high rate S-Band transmitter and patch antenna; a payload made up of 5 experiments that UK stu- dents and the public can interact with. There is also an outreach payload that allows school children to interact with the spacecraft.

Houston, Texas December 27, 2012: The N0D team had a very successful operation celebrating the Mayan Calendar End of the World which some expected would occur on Dec 21, 2012. In celebration, experienced satellite operators Allen Mattis, N5AFV, and Andy MacAllister, W5ACM, operated special event station N0D on the available satellite passes from December 15th, 2012, through December 22nd, 2012. A total of 142 satellite contacts were made, and 29 US states, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Brazil were worked. A total of 53 contacts were made on FM satellite SO-50. On the linear satellites AO-07, FO-29 and VO-52 a total of 89 contacts were made using both SSB and CW. It was especially nice to work Paulo, PV8DX, and Hector, CO6CBF, with CW. A contact was also made with Mexican special event station 4A0MAYA also celebrating the Mayan Calendar event. The N0D team thanks the OSCAR satellite community for their patience and understanding during occasional periods of congestion on the satellites related to the N0D operation. As part of the special event, the South Texas Balloon Launch Team launched the Doomsday Balloon, BLT-32 “To the End of the World and Float”, to prepare the world for its demise! The launch occurred at 2310 UTC on Saturday Dec 15th from Covey Trails Airport in Fulshear, Texas. BLT-32 was designed as a “floater” with hopes that it would reach Europe. The balloon floated eastward for 450 miles and burst at an elevation of approximately 106,000 feet when the rising sun on the morning of Dec 16 th warmed the balloon causing the helium to expand. The balloon came down approximately 15 miles NNW of Pascagoula, MS and efforts have been successful to recover the instrument package. N0D was also very active on the HF bands throughout the event and over 2,500 amateur radio contacts were made. All 50 US States and 54 DXCC countries were worked on the HF bands. N0D QSLs are available via KK5W (SASE required).

ANS-358 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins
by Lee McLamb 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-358 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: * AMSAT Receives $25,000 Matching Funds Challenge * AMSAT SKN ON OSCAR 2013 In Memory of W1BIH/PJ9JT * AMSAT-UK Introduce Electronic (PDF) Membership * Track Santa with NORAD and AGI on December 24 * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-358.01 ANS-358 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 358.01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. December 23, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-358.01 AMSAT Receives $25,000 Matching Funds Challenge AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW says that we have received a matching funds challenge! An anonymous donor will match up to $25,000.00 for Fox. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to double your donation. Barry wrote, "We end 2012 with significant progress made on the development of Fox-1. A formal proposal to launch Fox-1B was sub- mitted to the NASA ELaNA (Education Launch of Nanosatellites) program on November 19, 2012. NASA is expected to announce in late January or early February 2013 those projects that have been selected. This is our second ELaNA submission, and we believe the merits of this proposal are even stronger than our original Fox-1 proposal." Fox-1B will incorporate the flight spare of Fox-1 and is a joint project with the Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE) at Vanderbilt University. The official project name is "RadFXSat" and the ISDE payload is designed to advance the art of understand- ing the effects of space radiation on electronic components. We have requested a launch in the second half of 2014 and a 650 km sun-synchronous orbit that is the same as we requested for Fox-1. As AMSAT VP-Engineering Tony Monteiro, AA2TX points out, "Fox-1B is AMSAT's first satellite with science as its PRIMARY mission. This is very exciting as it potentially opens up new opportunities for free launches. Of course, the satellite also carries a ham radio FM transponder and we expect to be able to operate the transponder and science payload simultaneously." There is significant work to be done in systems engineering, software development, satellite construction and testing to prepare Fox-1B for launch. During the 30th Annual AMSAT Space Symposium, Tony and the Fox En- gineering team gave a number of presentations on the development of Fox-1 with extensive documentation of Fox-1 placed in the Proceed- ings in order to make this material 'public domain' and thus be able to present it openly. We still expect a launch opportunity in the second half of 2013. To continue these projects, we need the extra resources offered by the matching gift. We hope we can count on your commitment and generosity at this time of giving. There are several ways you can double your donation to keep Amateur Radio in Space: Members have received a form in the mail to fill out and return. Please do so today! Go the AMSAT Store and make a donation Donate via a PayPal donation sent to martha(a)amsat.org or click on our PayPal widget at http://www.amsat.org. Your generous contribution to AMSAT to support AMSAT and Project Fox now will help ensure that our common dream of keeping amateur radio in space will, indeed, become a reality. [ANS thanks the AMSAT Office for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT SKN ON OSCAR 2013 In Memory of W1BIH/PJ9JT You are cordially invited to participate in Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2013, conducted by AMSAT for all radio amateurs throughout the world. This year's event is dedicated to the memory of John Thompson, W1BIH/PJ9JT, who passed away in 2012, aged 96. Although known primarily as an HF DXer and contester, John was also active on OSCAR, mostly on CW. As always, SKN on OSCAR is simple and informal. Just operate CW through one or more satellites on 1 January 2013 (0000 to 2400 UTC), using a straight hand key. There is no need to send in a log, but all participants are encouraged to nominate someone they worked for Best Fist. Your nominee need not have the best fist of anyone you heard, only of those you worked. Send your nomination to w2rs at amsat.org. A list of those nominated will appear in ANS and the AMSAT Journal. [ANS thanks Ray Soifer, W2RS, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-UK Introduce Electronic (PDF) Membership AMSAT-UK is pleased to announce that they can now offer Electronic E-membership at a reduced rate. AMSAT-UK initially produced a short bulletin called OSCAR News to give members advice on amateur satellite communications. Since those early days OSCAR News has grown in size and the print quality has improved beyond recognition. Today, OSCAR News is produced as a high-quality quarterly colour A4 magazine consisting of up to 40 pages of news, information and comment about amateur radio space communications. The new E-membership will provide OSCAR News as a downloadable PDF file and members will have the freedom to read it on their Tablets or Smartphones anytime, anyplace, anywhere. An additional advantage is that the PDF should be available for download about 1-2 weeks before the paper copy is posted. E-membership should be especially beneficial to Overseas members who have suffered from high postal charges and long delivery times. The AMSAT-UK membership year runs from January 1 to December 31. Why not take the opportunity to renew your 2013 membership as an E-member. Renew your AMSAT-UK membership as an E-member here http://shop.amsat.org.uk/shop/category_8/Existing-Members-Renewal.html Join as a new E-member here http://shop.amsat.org.uk/shop/category_9/Join-Amsat-UK.html E-members can download their copies of OSCAR News from http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/on [ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Track Santa with NORAD and AGI on December 24 'Tis the season for Santa tracking at www.noradsanta.org. The highly popular NORAD Tracks Santa website will once again follow Santa's annual journey around the world, updating every three to four minutes and showing new movies captured by NORAD's special Santa Cams about once an hour. A long-time supporter of the program, AGI provided NORAD the 2D and 3D Santa trackers this year. The fun starts at 2.a.m. EST (0700 UTC) on December 24, when website visitors can watch Santa make preparations for his flight. Then at 6 a.m. EST, actual tracking begins. So, fire up the computer, grab your family and friends this December 24 and spend the day tracking Santa at the NORAD Tracks Santa Web site. Happy Santa tracking! [ANS thanks AGI for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Satellite Shorts From All Over + Congratulations to Ken Holland, KC9TTR for attaining his ARRL VUCC Satellite Award #236. Ken thanks all the operators who helped him achieve this, especially portable operators in grids away from home. + On December 9 the Breeze-M upper stage of Russia's Proton heavy lift rocket failed, placing Yamal 402 telecommunications satellite into a too-low orbit. News from Russia indicates the satellite was rescued by raising its orbit over four firings of its own engine fuel reserves. + The ISS orbit was increased by almost 2.5 kilometers in a test of the station's new emergency debris avoidance system. The new sys- tem, known as the Pre-Determined Debris Avoidance Maneuver (PDAM), addresses the situation where dangerous debris is detected with little advance warning, down to as little as three hours from the approach. The emergency avoidance maneuver was performed by the engines aboard the Russian Progress freighter docked at the sta- tion. The engines can be fired as little as 140 minutes before a dangerous debris approach. + Watch a youtube video as Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Chris Hadfield trains in the Soyuz Simulator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qL1dfdE_RFI There are good interior views of the Soyuz. + NASA released a 64-frame movie of asteroid Toutatis generated from data by Goldstone's Solar System Radar on Dec. 12 and 13: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d7SroliSXuY [ANS thanks everyone 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 addi- tional benefits. Application forms are available from the AMSAT Office. Primary and secondary school students are eligible for membership at one-half the standard yearly rate. Post-secondary school students enrolled in at least half time status shall be eligible for the stu- dent rate for a maximum of 6 post-secondary years in this status.

December 16, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-351.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kline School "Out of This World Experience" Raises $6500 for AMSAT Fox Kline School had the distinction of being invited to contact Command- er Kevin Ford aboard the International Space Station on Thursday, December 6 via an ARISS contact. During this live event, students had the opportunity to have their questions answered by an astronaut living in space. In preparation for the ARISS contact, students engaged in NASA class lessons on Building the ISS and What Life is Like Aboard the ISS. They studied experiments and tasks taking place on the ISS to help formulate expe- dition related questions. Students also learned about the forms and sources of energy that help to sustain the station. Teachers at Kline School wrote, "We think of the ARISS contact as the real world application of our students' studies of science, technol- ogy, engineering and math (STEM)". Reaching beyond content, students launched a Spell-A-Thon and raised $6,500 dollars to purchase six-sets of solar panels to help AMSAT fly Fox-1, an amateur radio satellite. The solar panels will provide pow- er to the satellite while in space. Students are proud of their AMSAT membership, too. ARISS is a cooperative venture of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), and other worldwide ama- teur radio groups and international space agencies. These ARISS part- ners organize scheduled 10-minute interactive contacts via amateur radio with the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers. More information and a photo will be published in an upcoming issue of the AMSAT Journal. For more information about Kline School's ISS contact and related events visit: http://www.klineschool.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kline-School/153838291839 [ANS thanks the Kline School for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT Submits a Second NASA ELaNa Proposal The official name of the project is "RadFxSat" and it is a joint project with the Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE) at Vanderbilt University. AMSAT is providing the satellite bus (Fox-1B) and ISDE is providing the experiment payload. The primary mission is to advance the state of the art in understanding the effects of space radiation on electronic components. This is the first AMSAT satellite with science as the primary mis- sion. This is very exciting as it potentially opens up new launch opportunities. Since the data downlink and power required by the experiment are modest, we expect to be able to operate the science payload and the ham radio transponder simultaneously. The satellite hardware design is the same as Fox-1 but there will be substantial AMSAT work in systems engineering, project manage- ment, software development, satellite construction and testing. We requested a launch in the 2nd half of 2014 to a 650 km sun-synch- ronous orbit which is the same as we requested for Fox-1. As in our previous proposal, we also noted that the mission requirements can be met over a wide range of orbits. The key elements are the need for a high enough apogee to provide significant exposure to space radiation and a minimum 10 year orbit lifetime. While there can be no guarantee that our proposal will be accepted by NASA, we believe that in its 241 pages (!) we have made a strong case. NASA is expected to announce the accepted proposals at the end of January 2013.

This year's event is dedicated to the memory of John Thompson, W1BIH/PJ9JT, who passed away in 2012, aged 96. Although known primarily as an HF DXer and contester, John was also active on OSCAR, mostly on CW. As always, SKN on OSCAR is simple and informal. Just operate CW through one or more satellites on 1 January 2013 (0000 to 2400 UTC), using a straight hand key. There is no need to send in a log, but all participants are encouraged to nominate someone they worked for Best Fist. Your nominee need not have the best fist of anyone you heard, only of those you worked. Send your nomination to w2rs at amsat.org. A list of those nominated will appear in ANS and the AMSAT Journal. [ANS thanks Ray Soifer for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- FITSAT-1 LED Beacon Seen From Space A test of the FITSAT-1 LED optical beacon that took place on Decem- ber 11 GMT over Japan was successful. FITSAT-1 flashed the optical beacon over the USA on December 12 and on December 13 over the British Isles and Europe. No reports of opti- cal detection were received from the USA or Europe. In a clear night sky with no moon the FITSAT-1 optical beacon is vis- ible using binoculars. The latest FITSAT-1 satellite news is posted at: http://www.fit.ac.jp/~tanaka/fitsat.shtml A photo of the visible beacon is posted at: http://www.jinkou-eisei.jp/FITSAT/images/121212_watanabe.jpg http://www.jinkou-eisei.jp/FITSAT/images/121211_m.jpg FITSAT-1 is a CubeSat developed by students at the Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT) in Japan. As well as the optical LED experiment the satellite carries an amateur radio payloads: a CW beacon on 437.250 MHz, a telemetry beacon on 437.445 MHz and a high-speed data downlink on 5840.0 MHz.

Just send an APRS message to "ISS" (without the quotes) from any APRS radio (on the national APRS channel). 2. If you are in range of the global APRS network (an IGate nearby) the satserver will respond with the time to AOS and the direction of AOS, max elevation and LOS. 3. This also works for other satellites. For example, send a message to "FO29" (without the quotes) and get its prediciton for your location. 4. The satserver will use the last APRS position you have transmit- ted. 5. To actually work APRS via ISS, you will have to QSY to the ISS channel 145.825 and change your path to via ARISS for the pass (instead of the usual WIDE2-2 for terrestrial APRS). Example of the the types of responses as collected by APRS.FI mes- sages page are posted at: http://aprs.fi/?c=message&limit=25&call=ISS For a full description, see: http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:satsrv [ANS thanks Bob Bruninga, WB4APR for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrier Detected on LO-19 Beacon Frequency Mark Hammond, N8MH reports that LO-19, non-operational for amateur radio use, is still transmitting a very weak continuous carrier on its former 437.1250 MHz CW Mode U TLM beacon frequency. He wrote, "This weekend I listened again for LO-19. I could always hear a very weak continuous carrier (actually, first saw it using audio FFT software). Yesterday (12/9/12) on a high 50-ish degree elevation pass, it was there. It's right on frequency, right on time with AOS/LOS, the Doppler correction from SatPC32 is right on target. The bird was in daylight, but I expect its batteries are still good so I bet you can hear it in eclipse as well. You might have fun lis- tening for it, as a weak signal source. If you can hear LO-19's car- rier, your system is pretty up to snuff. Or, use some audio spectrum software and you can "see" the carrier even if you can't hear it on your speaker." Additional LO-19 reception reports are confirmed by WA8SME, K8YSE, and OZ1MY.

The mountain where the two spacecraft will make contact is located near a crater named Goldschmidt. Both spacecraft have been flying in formation around the moon since Jan. 1, 2012. The first probe will go down, at 2:28:40 p.m. The second probe will about 20 sec- onds later. Both spacecraft will hit the surface at 3,760 mph (1.7 kilometers per second). No imagery of the impact is expected because the region will be in shadow at the time. The probes will conduct one final experiment before their mission ends. They will fire their main engines until their propellant tanks are empty to determine precisely the amount of fuel remain- ing in their tanks. This will help NASA engineers validate fuel consumption computer models to improve predictions of fuel needs for future missions. Because the exact amount of fuel remaining aboard each spacecraft is unknown, mission navigators and engineers designed the depletion burn to allow the probes to descend gradually for several hours and skim the surface of the moon until the elevated terrain of the tar- get mountain gets in their way.

December 9, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-344.01 FITSAT-1 Flashing LED Experiment Scheduled for December 12-13 On the 26th of November the first experiment of the flashing LEDs on the FITSAT-1 satellite took place. The LEDs were successfully observed in Kurashiki, Japan and Daejeon, Korea. On December 7 Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG updated the FITSAT-1 web page with this information, "As Christmas Eve is full moon, we [will] start flashing LEDs between 12-13 December." The FITSAT-1 web page can be found at: http://www.fit.ac.jp/~tanaka/fitsat.shtml For the USA ----------- 12 December 2012 06:14:30 - 06:16:30 UTC For Europe ---------- 13 December 2012 22:10:30 - 22:14:30 UTC Please note that the schedule is subject to change. Binoculars may be necessary to ensure success in viewing the flashing LEDs. Addi- tional prediction and tracking tools can be accessed at: http://www.satflare.com/track.php?q=fitsat#MAP [ANS thanks Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG for the above information] V/U/Wx receive Amplifier available through AMSAT store AMSAT-NA is pleased to announce an inexpensive, broadband VHF/UHF/WX satellite receive-only preamplifier. Key features: Ready to operate--not a kit! Fully assembled, tested, and installed in a metal enclosure with female BNC connectors on input and output. It is based on the MAR 7 device, and covers 100 MHz to 500 MHz. This includes the137 MHz WX, 2M, and 70cm satellite bands. Operates from +9-15V DC (a fresh 9V battery works great!). Perfect for portable operations using dual band hand-held Yagis like the ARROW, Cheap Yagi, etc. Just put it inline on the correct receive band for operations in either mode U/V or V/U. You won't believe what you've been missing! Includes low power (about 5W) protection diode on the input for accidental transmissions into the input. (This preamp is not RF switched. It must be protected from inadvertent repeated or high power transmission RF using a relay or diplexer.) Full details and schematic can be found in the November/December 2012 AMSAT Journal article by Mark Spencer, WA8SME, or downloaded from the item in the Hardware section of the AMSAT Store: http://store.amsat.org/catalog/ The assembled and tested kit is priced at $50 USD plus shipping. Proceeds from the sale of this item will help fund the AMSAT Fox Family of satellites! This equipment was developed as part of the ARRL Education and Technology Program. [ANS thanks Mark Hammond, N8MH for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT Office Closed December 6 thru 11 Martha reports that she will be out of the office beginning Thursday, December 6th, and the office will remain closed on 7th, 10th and 11th. [ANS thanks Martha for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- CO6CBF and EA4CYQ Work Transatlantic via FO-29 On the morning of December 4, CO6CBF Hector Martinez in EL92sd, worked EA4CYQ Juan Antonio in IM78cx. Hector reported on the AMSAT-BB "I had looked for intercontinental contacts before but it had been very hard for me. Now, running my new donated satellite gear I am able to work FO-29 until 0 degree in any direction. It was my third attempt and was successful! Cubans cannot operate on AO-7 mode B due to a 432MHz restriction in our country, so we have only a few chances on FO-29 every five months when the satellite is getting close to apogee. Juan Antonio and I had a two minutes window and we had enough time to interchange reports, grids and greetings. The contact is included in John Papay's recording of the pass: http://www.papays.com/sat/FO-29_04Dec2012_140930z.mp3 Thanks very much to Juan Antonio EA4CYQ for the great contact and to John K8YSE for look for us and record the contact! Right Now, FO-29 has a big footprint in the morning passes. Please, if you are into the footprint and want to try a long contact, just drop me an email directly. I will try until have a contact with you." [ANS thanks Hector for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- VE to ES DX via AO-7 Mode B Randy Morden, VE6RGU, reported on the AMSAT-BB December 6, "I was quite surprised (Tuesday) to work Neil Viskov, ES6DO in Estonia just before 18:00Z on AO-7 mode B. I was listening to that pass with the hopes of working a few UK stations I heard a few days ago, and was just about to shut the rig down at the end of the pass, when I heard a CW station calling CQ. At first I though it was an Irish station with an EI prefix, but two dits turned out to be three - ES rather than EI! With less than one minute to make the contact on that pass, it all worked out with a new grid and new DX in my log, and Neil's first VE QSO. Many thanks Neil!" [ANS thanks Randy for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S ARISS Proposal is Live Online NASA is now accepting proposals from U.S. schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station contact between May 1, 2013 and November 1, 2013. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, NASA is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and inte- grate the contact into a well-developed education plan. Radio con- tacts are approximately 10 minutes in length. Proposals are due January 28, 2013. The NASA ARISS page is live! Spread the word. U.S organizations can now access the planning guide and proposal form online at: http://www.nasa.gov/education/tfs/ariss. Dates and times of the on- line information sessions are also on the website. Interested parties should visit the website to obtain complete information including how the technology works, what is expected of the host organization and how to submit the proposal form. [ANS thanks Trinesha M. Dixon, Teaching From Space Education Specialist at the NASA Johnson Space Center for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- California K6RPT-12 144.390 FM APRS Balloon Crosses Atlantic Amateur radio stations from the UK to the Azores were listening for the transatlantic balloon K6RPT-12 on 144.390 MHz FM. As of Tuesday 2230 UT no reports of the balloon had been received since it left radio range of Newfoundland at 0350 UT. The last APRS reports indicated it was starting to drift south and slow down. When it left the USA it was traveling at over 300 km an hour, however, it may well have slowed considerably since then possibly to as little as 90 kmh. The payload is designed for over 60 hours of flight. The K6RPT-12 144.390 MHz APRS balloon successfully crossed the Atllantic and landed in Morocco on Wednesday morning. After its epic journey across the Atlantic the APRS signals were picked up by Spanish stations. It was last heard at 2012-12-05 09:22:31z descending rapidly, indicating that the balloon had burst. The last recorded position was 34°25.75' N 3°58.96' W. It is believed there are less than 150 radio amateurs in Morocco and no known APRS stations, so the balloon may never be recovered.

Speech is compressed down to 1400 bit/s then modulat- ed onto a 1100 Hz wide QPSK signal which is sent to the Mic input of a SSB radio. On receive, the signal is received by the SSB radio, then demodulated and decoded by FreeDV. Features: + Codec 2 voice coder and FDMDV modem + 50 baud 14 QPSK voice data + 1 Center BPSK carrier with 2x power for fast and robust synchroni- zation. + 1.125 kHz spectrum bandwidth (half SSB) with 75 Hz carrier spacing + 1400 bit/s data rate with 1375 bit/s open source Codec 2 voice coding and 25 bit/s text for call sign ID + No interleaving in time or FEC philosophy resulting in low latency, fast synchronization and quick recovery from fades. + 44.1 or 48kHz sample rate sound card compatible FreeDV, the new HF digital audio program for Radio Amateurs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfyn0NEcNHs&feature=player_embedded Watch when it's switched to analog SSB. The SSB bandwidth is about 3 times that of the digital audio. Also note the diagonal black streaks across the waterfall display. That's fading, probably from two reflections arriving out of phase. The ID on the bottom is com- ing in during the silent periods between words. This software is Open Source, and uses Codec2. This Codec was pre- sented by Bruce Robertson, VE9QRP at the 2012 AMSAT Space Symposium in Orlando, Florida. See http://freedv.org/ [ANS thanks Southgate and FreeDV for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- N0D – Special Event Station for the End of the World Expands to the Final Frontier! Houston, Texas December 4, 2012: 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 Station N0D (Now Zero Days) will be activated for the period December 15, 2012 through December 20, 2012. December 21, the day of destruction, we will be on the air as long as possible. December 22nd is a little iffy right now. After all, it is the end of the world, so why not include the Final Frontier? In celebration, experienced satellite operators Allen Mattis, N5AFV, and Andy MacAllister, W5ACM, who are members of the N0D team, will be working available satellite passes beginning December 15th, 2012, through the end of the world and possibly beyond until December 22nd. The team will be using the Official Doomsday call sign, N0D. In addition, the South Texas Balloon Launch Team will launch the Doomsday Balloon, BLT-32 To the End of the World and Float, to prepare the world for its demise! The launch is scheduled for Saturday Dec 15th at 4 PM from Covey Trails Airport in Fulshear, Texas. BLT-32 is designed as a “floater” with hopes that it will reach Europe before the end of the world. APRS telemetry and beacons on the balloon will also be using the Official Doomsday call sign, N0D. Details about the Doomsday balloon are available at http://www.w5acm.net/b32.html. N0D will also be active on the HF bands throughout the event. Further information is available at www.nowzerodays.com. You may register on the website to become an official Doomsday station. Over 575 stations have already done so. QSL information for N0D is with SASE via KK5W but better wait untill after Doomsday, if we are still around. NO Backup Date – It’s all or NOTHING! [ANS thanks Allen N5AFV for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT SKN ON OSCAR 2013 IN MEMORY OF W1BIH/PJ9JT You are cordially invited to participate in Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2013, conducted by AMSAT for all radio amateurs throughout the world. This year's event is dedicated to the memory of John Thompson, W1BIH/PJ9JT, who passed away in 2012, aged 96. Although known primarily as an HF DXer and contester, John was also active on OSCAR, mostly on CW. As always, SKN on OSCAR is simple and informal. Just operate CW through one or more satellites on 1 January 2013 (0000 to 2400 UTC), using a straight hand key. There is no need to send in a log, but all participants are encouraged to nominate someone they worked for Best Fist. Your nominee need not have the best fist of anyone you heard, only of those you worked. Send your nomination to w2rs at amsat.org. A list of those nominated will appear in ANS in early February. [ANS thanks Ray Soifer for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch and Listen for the Geminid Meteor Shower This Week The Geminid Meteor Shower is the grand finale of astronomical events in 2012 and is usually the most reliable and prolific of the annual meteor showers. This year we are in for a special treat as the Moon will be absent when the Geminids are at their peak on the evening of the 12th/13th of December. This means that the sky should be at its darkest when the shower is expected, and many more of the fainter meteors will be visible. Meteor pings can be heard via internet streaming as the Air Force Space Surveillance Radar, scanning the skies above Texas, creates the "radar fence". When a meteor or satellite passes over the fac- ility--ping!--there is an echo.
