SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launch date: December 20, 2002 1700z
Launch site: Baikonur, Kazakhstan
Status: Operational
Current Mode: V/u
Uplink: 145.850 MHz FM - 67.0 Hz PL tone
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:

(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.

To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-022.01
On or about 20 January 2013, AMSAT-NA's main web site www.amsat.org
was compromised by an attacker, with the contents of the supporting
database, including non-public information, posted on other publicly
available web sites.
It is likely that the attacker gained enough access to the site to
post arbitrary and possibly illegal content, so out of an abundance
of caution the main site was shut down.
Neither the AMSAT store nor the Fox project web site were affected
by this breach. Mail services remain operational.
The main site was developed roughly 10 years ago by a AMSAT volun-
teers under a more benign Internet threat environment. The team that
built that site is no longer associated with AMSAT, so work has been
underway over the last several months to move to a modern, maintain-
able, secure infrastructure. This recent breach will accelerate that
activity. In the interim, www.amsat.org will have limited content.

WIA Reports Australian Given an AMSAT Accolade
It was a very humble Tony Hutchison VK5ZAI who received an award
from AMSAT North America for the voluntary work he has done for
the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) pro-
gram.
In accepting the award, Tony VK5ZAI said it was a very nice hon-
our which made him feel humble.
"I look at it as a combined effort for all those that have helped
over the last 20 years because I couldn't have done it alone," he
said.
In praise of ARISS, Tony VK5ZAI said, "They're a great group to work
with and he has made many friends through it and amateur radio."
He is the Australian ARISS Coordinator and a Telebridge Earth Station
involved in many contacts between the ISS and schools.
The Channel 7 Today Tonight show interviewed Tony VK5ZAI in early
2012, when he gave some great insights as to how Amateur Radio can
provide support for NASA, as well as raise public awareness through
the ARISS schools program.
The segment has been posted to YouTube and NOW features as a prelude
to many Australian school contacts with the ISS.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fUsoo_oaNkw
AMSAT's Award Citation to Tony stated, "For your support and leader-
ship to ARISS as the key coordinator and mentor of all the ARISS
schools in Australia. AMSAT also commends you for your sustained sup-
port as the premier ARISS telebridge station operator. Your efforts
and can-do spirit are an inspiration to us all."

ARISS News
Recent succesful ARISS contacts include
Ecole Les Muriers, Saint Maur Des Fosses, France on 07 Jan.
The contact was direct between OR4ISS and F6KMX/p.
Saint-Maur-des-Fossés is a small city (77,000 people) located at
about 15 km South-East of PARIS, separated from the capital by the
large Vincennes Forest, and located on the top of a loop formed by
the river Marne. The name of the city is inspired from the Chateau of
Saint Maur, which was frequently visited by the queen Marie de
Medicis in the 16th Century. The school Les Muriers is educating
about 500 children in 17 classrooms, aged from 8 to 11 and preparing
their access to Middle school. The children's of a classroom of 22
(CM2/ 5th grade) developed with their teacher, the dream of a direct
contact, via ham radio, with an astronaut of the ISS. This year, the
children are studying the life in space, working on the comprehension
of the Space Station and are participating to science and ham-radio
activities organized by the Radio-club station of St-Maur (F6KMX).
+++++++++++++++++
Missoula Family YMCA, Missoula, MT on 08 Jan.
Missoula Family YMCA hosted an ARISS contact January 8, 2013 at
16:14 UTC at Target Range School in Missoula, Montana. It was
conducted in English and was direct between NA1SS and W7PX. Students
talked to the crew aboard the ISS with the assistance of the Hellgate
Amateur Radio Club and asked a pool of questions generated from the
student winners of an essay contest. The students represent grades 3
- 9 and attend the following Missoula county schools; Target Range,
Loyola, St. Josesph's, Russell, Hellgate Elementary, Lowell and Chief
Charlo. The Missoula Family YMCA has been committed to incorporating
academic programs to help students figure out their place in the
world. We think of the ARISS contact as the real world application
of our students' studies of science, technology, engineering and math
(STEM). Our participation in the ARISS event can help us achieve this
goal and continue to excite the interest in our youth and to promote
NASA STEM activities. Missoula is located along the Clark Fork and
Bitterroot rivers in Western Montana and at the convergence of five
mountain ranges. Thus is often described as being the "Hub of Five
Valleys". The 2010 Census put the population of Missoula at 66,788
and has been the second largest city in Montana. The city is also
home to four high schools, five middle schools, sixteen elementary
schools, two private schools and The University of Montana.
+++++++++++++++++
An International Space Station school contact was completed by Royal
Canadian Air Cadets- Newfoundland Cadet Detachment, St. John's,
Newfoundland, Canada on 12 Jan. The contact was conducted in English
and was direct between NA1SS and VO1BZM.
In preparation for the upcoming ARISS Contact Event, the cadets of
515 Air Cadets along with the local Air Cadet Squadrons focused on the
aerospace portion of their training program. The Squadron's training
staff added in extra classes in this subject area including lessons
focused around various Canadian Astronauts to help familiarize the
cadets with Chris Hadfield's career and background. We also
encouraged the cadets in the squadrons to check out Col Hadfield's
Facebook page and Twitter feed along with looking at various websites
with lots of information about the International Space Station. We
have canvassed the cadets over the last few weeks to develop the
questions they will get to ask and in the coming weeks. They
conducted a practice run through with those selected to ask
questions. Everyone involved in this event was very enthusiastic and
enjoyed the opportunity of participating in this as once in a life
time learning event.
+++++++++++++++++
An International Space Station school contact was successful with
participants at Saint Rose Elementary School, Saint John, New
Brunswick, Canada on 17 Jan. The contact was direct between NA1SS and
VE9LC and was conducted in English.
Students in grades three to five from Saint Rose School excitedly
prepared for their upcoming communication with International Space
Station Canadian Commander, Chris Hadfield. In preparation for this
educational event, they took part in a Saint John Astronomy Club
presentation by Kurt Nason. A kick-off assembly with special guest
Greg D'Entremont in Novemeber. At this assembly, SRS students met
their ten Barnhill Memorial School partners who will be asking
Commander Hadfield student created questions. In the month of
December, each class worked on space projects linked to curriculum
outcomes. Some classroom projects linked to the K-2 curriculum, You
and Your World, while some students in grades 3-5 worked on Science
connections individually, in small group, or as a class. Event day
saw some of the projects highlighted. Their final lead-up event of
the 2012 calendar year was December 17th when students enjoyed a
presentation by UNBSJ Space Studies Professor, Phil Backman. The
"Saint Rose School Space Walk" took place on January 9th. Students
walked from classroom to classroom to observe projects, ask
questionsof project creators, and selected the projects highlighted
on eventday. The week culminated with the Science East Planetarium
in the gymnasium that all students visited throughout the day for
class presentations.
A video of the contact can be found at

NASA Announces Student Internships for Summer
College Level Internships
NASA says they are accepting applications for college level summer
internship positions among several NASA field centers. "But don't
wait until the deadline," advises NASA mentor and fellow AMSAT
member, Pat Kilroy, N8PK. "The opportunities to work on a CubeSat
team, for example, are exciting but pretty competitive."
It is thought that students who know the "AMSAT way" and who have an
Amateur Radio license and some hands on experience have a distinct
advantage in the midst of such competition.
"That worked for me," said Pat.
Students can view opportunities and apply for them in one place. To
start, the prospective student should go to:
https://intern.nasa.gov/
then click the Student Opportunities tab then select Internships,
which will bring you to the OSSI:NIFS page describing the overall
internship program.
Using the Search Opportunities tab from there, scroll down to the
bottom for the "Enter keywords" box and enter "cubesat" without the
quotes to view the variety of different opportunities in this field.
Pat Kilroy will be the lead mentor for two of the opportunities
described. The first, under the title of "CubeSat Engineering Design
Team Project," applicants are called to develop a CubeSat spacecraft
bus (i.e., the solar panel and battery charging, power regulation and
distribution "EPS" subsystem, the RF communications "COM" subsystem,
the command and data handling/processing avionics "C&DH" subsystem,
the attitude determination and control "ADAC" subsystem, and the
mechanical structures "MECH" subsystem) and one instrument (i.e., a
camera/telescope payload). Hardware and software skills will be well
represented. The team will need a student Systems Engineer as well.
Each intern will consult with a NASA engineer in their area of
specialty throughout the summer.
In the second, under the title "PICetSat Module Development," one or
two student interns are called to perform any of a number of tasks,
including one to develop a "dual-use" ground station for CubeSats and
high-altitude balloon and sounding rocket experiments. This task
will involve satellite and balloon tracking, RF systems, test
equipment and antennas and antenna control automation.
Additional details are available on the OSSI:NIFS site including how
to contact the lead mentor for technical questions, and the procedure
on how to apply for one of these Goddard Greenbelt positions as well
as many others.
High School Internship Applications at NASA
The application process for high school students to apply for a
summer internship can be found on the same OSSI:NIFS Web site as
given above for the summer at one of many locations around the
country. As noted in the opportunity description already mentioned,
up to two local high school seniors will be selected to participate
on the CubeSat team in Greenbelt.

Unilever Buys 22 Flights On XCOR Lynx Suborbiter For AXE Campaign
by Staff Writers
Mojave CA (SPX) Jan 15, 2013
Commercial spaceflight is entering the main stream and looking (and
smelling) quite good! United Kingdom-based Unilever Group, and Space
Expedition Corporation (SXC) announced a 22 flight purchase on XCOR
Aerospace's Lynx Mark II suborbital spacecraft for Unilever's
space-themed AXEApollo campaign for the AXE brand of men's cologne,
body spray, shower gels and other personal care products.
Unilever will award the first flight to a lucky winner selected from a
drawing just after the Super Bowl on February 3rd, and the 21 other
winners will come from a year long, 60 country promotional campaign.
That larger campaign includes a 100+ person December 2013 space camp
for early stage winners in Orlando called the AXE Apollo Space Academy
(A.A.S.A.).
The campaign also includes legendary Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin and
a 30 second Super Bowl advertisement. For a chance to win, register at
www.AXEApollo.com.
"When a global brand leader like Unilever makes a significant
commitment to a product like our Lynx, it is a clear sign that
commercial spaceflight has entered the main stream of worldwide
commerce and truly is the Next Big Thing," stated Andrew Nelson, Chief
Operating Officer of XCOR Aerospace, "Expect to keep seeing more good
news from SXC as they ramp up in 2013!"

European student codes reach ISS
European finalists.
Operating droids in space was no obstacle for a German-Italian
alliance to reach the finish line of the Zero Robotics tournament.
The European winners commanded mini-robots to dodge virtual dust
clouds and rendezvous with disabled satellites, all in the
weightlessness of the International Space Station.
This year's competition gave over 130 high-school students from
across Europe the opportunity to operate droids in space by coding
software.
Six alliances made of teams from Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal
witnessed how their computer codes worked in the Space Station from
ESA's ESTEC space research and technology centre in the Netherlands
The RetroSpheres space game involved two mini-robots racing through
a course using the least amount of fuel. During the three-minute
programmed dance, the volleyball-sized spheres moved using 12 squirts
of compressed gas.
Competitors could collect extra fuel from decommissioned satellites
and deorbit the satellites for extra points while navigating through
their opponent's dust clouds.
"It is really special to see what these students have created and
get to operate their algorithms in space," said NASA's Kevin Ford on
the Station. The astronaut, together with crewmate Tom Marshburn, set
up the matches from Japan's Kibo laboratory.
The team with the most fuel left over in the European finals was the
BEER alliance - the Brotherhood of Esteemed European Researchers.
German and Italian high-school students developed the software that
calculated the winning path for their robot in an exciting final game
that demonstrated Newton's laws of motion.
Robotic future
The challenge to control these robots remotely began in the United
States, where an adventurous professor from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology found inspiration from the Star Wars saga.
The mini-spacecraft have been used on the Station since 2006 to try
out manoeuvres.
ESA astronaut Andre Kuipers, who ran the competition from the
Station last year, hosted the event from ESTEC. "Europe is embarking
on robotic-related missions. Robots are and will be of great help in
space," he noted.
Spacecraft fuel consumption - carbon dioxide in this case - was a
programming issue for the students. "Most of us knew nothing about
computer science before this competition. Teamwork and creative
strategies helped us to succeed," explained Jaime Sevilla, one of the
Spanish players.
Teachers were pleased to see their pupils learn to communicate with
each other, gaining technical knowledge and boosting their enthusiasm.

Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear
U: Linear
Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml
(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.

SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launch date: December 20, 2002 1700z
Launch site: Baikonur, Kazakhstan
Status: Operational
Current Mode: V/u
Uplink: 145.850 MHz FM - 67.0 Hz PL tone
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear

(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.

Reminder -- AMSAT Receives $25,000 Matching Funds Challenge
Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to double your
donation.
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 at 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.
Fox-1A's design goals include:
+ Fox-1 includes a U/V (mode B) FM analog transponder. It's 2 meter
downlink should be even easier to hear than AO-51.
+ Fox-1 is being designed so you can work it with just a dual-band
HT and an "arrow" antenna.
+ The telemetry data from Fox-1 will be sent on the voice downlink
in the frequencies below the audible band as low-speed FSK with
forward error correction.
+ Fox-1 will provide an on-orbit test of a new high speed digital
data mode for use on future missions.
+ A free telemetry decode program, FoxTLM, will be available to
decode and display the low-speed telemetry and the high speed
data downlink.
+ Fox-1 is designed to host a significant science payload to support
future science missions that help us to get a free launch. This
capability is fully utilized in our second ELaNa proposal to fly
Fox-1B.
+ Fox-1 is designed to keep the FM transponder active using it solar
cells in the event of on-orbit battery charging problems.

SKN on OSCAR 2013 Best Fist Nominations Due
Many thanks to all who participated in AMSAT's Straight Key Night on
OSCAR 2013. If you have not already done so, please take a moment to
nominate someone you worked for Best Fist. Remember, your nominee
need not have the best fist of those you heard, only of those you
worked. Send your nomination to w2rs at amsat.org.
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.
Those nominated will be recognized in an ANS bulletin in early Feb-
ruary, and in The AMSAT Journal.

Proposal Window for U.S. ARISS Contacts Open until January 28
NASA's Teaching from Space program says their application window for
schools and suitable public venues in the United States is open until
January 28, 2013.
To be considered for an ARISS contact with crew members aboard the
International Space Station the application process consists of sub-
mission of an educational proposal describing incorporation of sci-
ence, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects into the cur-
riculum.
The ARISS program is a cooperative venture of NASA, ARRL and AMSAT
and other international space agencies that organizes scheduled con-
tacts via Amateur Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the
ISS and classrooms and communities.
One of the ARISS partners, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL),
posted information of the proposal process on their web at:
http://www.arrl.org/ariss-proposal-requirements
The NASA Teaching From Space web site has all of the instructions
and links to downloadable forms posted at:
http://tinyurl.com/NASA-TFS-JanuaryWindow (nasa.gov)
Proposals accepted during January are for ARISS contacts that would
take place in the U.S. between June 2013 and November 2013.
A variety of public forums considered for ARISS contacts include:
+ School assemblies
+ Science museums
+ Scout camporees and jamborees and space camps
+ Large group audiences where students, teachers, parents, and
communities learn about space and space technologies and Ama-
teur Radio.

PhoneSat CubeSat Now Rescheduled for February Launch from Wallops
The PhoneSat cubesat, originally planned for a December 2012 launch,
now looks like it will fly aboard a new commercial rocket from Orbit-
al Sciences Corp. Orbital's initial flight of the Antares-110 vehicle
will carry PhoneSat into low earth orbit. The vehicle will be launch-
ed 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.
Also planned for this launch is the commercial DOVE-1 satellite for
a technology demonstration nanosatellite based on the triple CubeSat
form factor. It's mission consists of:
+ Build a low-cost imaging satellite with non-space, COTS components.
+ Show that a bus constrained to the 3U cubesat form factor can via-
bly host a small camera payload.
+ Demonstrate the ability to design, produce and operate satellites
on short schedules and low cost.
Dove-1 plans to transmit its telemetry and image data to the ground
on a proposed frequency of 145.825 MHz in the amateur radio band al-
though this is a commercial mission.

STRaND-1 CubeSat Filmed by BBC Stargazing Live
AMSAT-UK reports on http://www.uk.amsat.org/?p=12039 about the BBC
filming at the Surrey Space Centre (SSC) and Surrey Satellite Tech-
nology Limited (SSTL) for an item on the STRaND-1 CubeSat mission
for the "Stargazing Live" program to be broadcast January 8-10.
Volunteers from the SSC and SSTL built STRaND-1 in their spare time.
The STRaND-1 spacecraft will carry an Amateur Radio AX.25 packet
radio payload on 437.575 MHz. It will be the UK's first "PhoneSat"
carrying a Nexus Android Smartphone that will run a number of Space
Apps. In addition it will have both a Resistojet and a Pulsed Plasma
Thruster (PPT) module.
The 'STRaND Data' App, one of the Space Apps that will run on the
Smartphone was a spin-off of the work done by the AMSAT-UK FUNcube
team. This App will collect satellite telemetry from within the sat-
ellite and display it graphically on the Nexus One Display. The dis-
play is observed by an on-board camera and the images transmitted to
earth on Amateur Radio frequencies.
Pictures taken during the BBC filming can be seen at

First 24 GHz Contact Between USA and Japan
Al, W5LUA and Shichirou, JA6CZD made the first 24 GHz EME contact
between the USA and Japan on January 2 at 1430Z. The two stations
had about an hour of common window where each had 15 to 20 degrees
of elevation.
JA6CZD uses a 2.4 M offset fed dish with a 22 watt SSPA. W5LUA uses
a 2.4M offset fed dish and a TWT mounted on the feed support provid-
ing 100 watts at the feed. JA6CZD sent Al a 559 signal report and Al
gave Shichirou a 449 report.
Both stations use linear polarity and must compensate for the 70
degrees of spatial offset between their locations. JA6CZD was used
horizontal and Al used vertical polarization. The noise figure at
both stations was under 2 dB.
Al measured his Doppler Shift with his return echoes at 51 KHz at
the start of the contact. The mutual Doppler Shift placed both at
about 24048.108 MHz based on a center frequency of 24048.100 MHz.
This shifted down in frequency as the schedule took place.
W5LUA was GPS locked and JA6CZD uses an OCXO and a Rubidium standard
to control frequency.

information. And with that, please keep in mind when Christmas was
over Rudolph had a chance to do something he had wanted to do for a
long time. He made an appointment with a plastic surgeon because he
was so sensitive about his looks. However, it wasn't his glowing pro-
boscis that he wanted changed. He was proud of his nose and the help
he had given Santa because of it. No, he was sensitive about his
long ears which were much more prominent than the ears of the aver-
age reindeer. So one week after Christmas, he underwent reconstruc-
tive surgery, and since that time, January 1st has been celebrated
as ... New Ears Day.
