ESA Education Office announce six CubeSats chosen for Phase 1 Initiative
Six student teams and their supervisors have gathered at ESA's ESTEC
centre in The Netherlands for the kick-off of the new Fly Your Satellite!
Programme under the ESA Education Office.
On June 26-28, ESA experts will introduce the objectives and present
the activities to be performed during the first phase of the programme.
In January, ESA's Education Office announced the 'Fly Your
Satellite!' initiative. This is aimed at offering student teams the
opportunity to become familiar with good engineering practice to
build and perform satellite testing in order to increase the chances
of a successful mission. The 2013 edition of the programme is however
only focusing on testing selected university-built satellites that
are already at an advanced stage of development.
'Fly Your Satellite!' builds on the success of the 'CubeSats for the
Vega Maiden Flight' pilot programme. This culminated in 2012 with the
launch of seven student-built CubeSats on the first flight of the new
ESA Vega launcher.
The focus of the kick-off meeting will consist of coordinating the
activity to be performed during the first phase of Fly Your
Satellite! enabling the teams to complete the construction of their
satellite. This will include extensive satellite testing in ambient
conditions under the supervision of ESA specialists who will decide
which satellites should participate in the next phase of the
programme.
The second phase will see the satellites tested in the simulated
conditions of outer space and in those the satellites will experience
at launch. These will include vibration and thermal-vacuum tests.
The six CubeSats chosen for Phase 1 are:
Robusta-1B from France will validate a radiation test methodology
for specific transistor components.
Oufti-1 from Belgium will demonstrate the D-STAR digital
communication protocol and validate high-efficiency solar cells.
ConSat-1 from Canada will analyse radiation characteristics in the
South-Atlantic Anomaly, and test technology payloads.
e-st@r-II from Italy will test an Active-Attitude Determination
Control System.
AAUSAT4 from Denmark will test an improved version of student built
AIS (Automated Identification System) receivers.
Politech.1 from Spain will carry a student built C-band
communication system, a "GEODEYE" Earth Observation camera for
academic purposes, and solar wind experiments.

Two Lithuanian Amateur Radio CubeSats Plan 2013 Launch To ISS
It is hoped that two Lithuanian satellites will be among the
CubeSats sent by Nanoracks LLC to the International Space Station
(ISS) on the SpaceX CRS-3 mission in November, 2013. They will be
deployed from the ISS by the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-
SSOD) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The Kaunas University of Technology is developing LituanicaSAT-1
while the Lithuanian Space Federation is working on LitSat-1.
2013 is the 80th anniversary of the historic flight by Lithuanian
pilots Steponas Darius and Stasys Gire.nas in the airplane Lituanica.
On July 15, 1933, they took off from Floyd Bennett Field in New York
and flew across the Atlantic Ocean, covering a distance of 6,411
kilometers without landing, in 37 hours and 11 minutes. Tragically
they crashed by the village of Kuhdamm, near Soldin, Germany just 650
km from their destination of Kaunas in Lithuania.
LituanicaSAT-1 plans to carry a VGA camera, GPS receiver, 9k6 AX25
FSK telemetry beacon and a 150 mW V/U FM voice transponder.

JULY SPACE STATION SPACEWALKS TO BE PREVIEWED AND BROADCAST ON NASA TV
WASHINGTON -- Two Expedition 36 astronauts will venture outside the
International Space Station twice in July on spacewalks to prepare
for a new Russian module and perform additional installations on the
station's backbone.
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston will host a NASA Television
briefing to preview the spacewalks at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday, July 2.
Reporters may attend the briefing at Johnson and other participating
NASA centers, or ask questions by calling Johnson's newsroom at
281-483-5111 no later than 1:45 p.m. Tuesday.
Briefers will include:
-- David Korth, NASA spacewalk flight director
-- Ernest Bell, Spacewalk 22 spacewalk officer
-- Karina Eversley, Spacewalk 23 spacewalk officer
Flight Engineers Chris Cassidy of NASA and Luca Parmitano of the
European Space Agency will conduct the spacewalks July 9 and July 16
from the station's Quest airlock. Each spacewalk is scheduled to last
6 1/2 hours. Cassidy and Parmitano will replace a space-to-ground
communications receiver and wireless video equipment and install
power and cables for a Russian multipurpose laboratory module that
will be launched later this year. The new module will serve as a
research facility, docking port and airlock for future Russian
spacewalks and will replace the Pirs module.
Cassidy, who is designated EV1 for the spacewalks, will wear a U.S.
extravehicular mobility suit bearing red stripes. The spacewalks will
be the fifth and sixth of Cassidy's career. Parmitano, who is
designated EV2, will wear a spacesuit with no stripes and will be
making the first two spacewalks of his career. He will become the
first Italian astronaut to walk in space. Both spacewalkers will wear
helmet cameras to provide up close views of their work.
NASA TV coverage of the spacewalks will begin at 7 a.m. on both July 9
and July 16. Both spacewalks are scheduled to begin at 8:10 a.m.

located in a building, built in 1950 by the government, originally
used as a sanatorium converted into school in late 1970.
Vercurago is a small town not far from Lecco, built on the shores of
Garlate's lake (as it comes out of Lario lake and become Adda river).
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time
allows:
1. Why did you decide to become an astronaut?
2. How do you recycle water?
3. How did you feel on your first day in space?
4. What are the main characteristics of the Earth seen from space?

AMSAT Submits Comments to the US Government on ITAR Transition
On May 24, 2013 the Department of State's Directorate of Defense
Trade Controls (DDTC) released proposed changes to the US Munitions
List (USML) Category XV ("Spacecraft Systems and Related Articles"),
redefining what constitutes satellites that would remain under the
USML. Satellites removed from USML will be transferred to the
Department of Commerce's Commerce Control List (CCL). Consequently,
the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
also released proposed changes on May 24, 2013 regarding
modifications to the Commerce Control List, creating a separate
category for satellites that were formerly controlled under ITAR
(International Traffic in Arms Regulations).
AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW and AMSAT Congressional Liaison
Peter Portanova, WB2OQQ took on the task of drafting comments in
response to the combined 105 pages of "bureaucratize" drafted by the
DDTC and the BIS. Former AMSAT President Bill Tynan, W3XO crafted
initial comments that provided a starting point. Peter, using
various points of contact in Washington to help gauge how AMSAT might
submit remarks, made recommendations on the crafting of AMSAT's
response. Barry then wrote two different drafts, one addressed to
the DDTC in response to the USML changes, requesting confirmation
that Amateur Satellite Service spacecraft and associated equipment
will be removed from the USML. The other document is addressed to
the BIS in response to the proposed changes to the CCL, suggesting
that Amateur Satellite Service spacecraft and associated equipment be
separately categorized and controlled given the significant
differences between Commercial and Amateur Satellite Service
spacecraft. Both drafts were initially reviewed by the AMSAT Board
of Directors with the final versions submitted on 6 JUL 13.
If you would like to review both submissions they have been placed
on the AMSAT website (www.amsat.org). In addition, AMSAT's
submission to BIS (along with the comments of others) may be viewed
at: http://tinyurl.com/k75u2go
AMSAT's submission to the DDTC along with other interested parties
may be found here: http://tinyurl.com/lxobvxh
Note that this PDF contains "all" comments received; AMSAT's
comments start on page 138.
Both DDTC and BIS will now review the comments received and
presumably make modifications to the original proposals. It will
likely take several months before both agencies respond to the
comments that they've received.

ARISS Leadership from AMSAT and ARRL to be on-hand for EAA
Airventure ARISS contact
ARISS International Chair and AMSAT V.P. for Human Spaceflight,
Frank Bauer, KA3HDO and ARISS U.S. delegate for the ARRL, Rosalie
White, K1STO, will be supporting this week’s ARISS Contact in Oshkosh
Wisconsin at Airventure, the Experimental Aircraft Association’s
(EAA) annual airshow and convention, which normally hosts 500,000
visitors each year. Possessing private pilot and amateur radio
licenses, Frank and Rosalie independently planned to attend
Airventure this year, long before the ARISS contact was planned. “My
wife Janet and I have attended Airventure 3 years straight,” Frank
stated. “It is an outstanding opportunity for us to immerse
ourselves in all things aviation. And it enables me to hone one of
my other passions, amateur photography. When Rosalie and I heard
that a contact was planned for Airventure and we learned that we were
both planning a trip to Airventure, we jumped at the chance to mentor
the EAA team.”
While they will plan to keep a bustling agenda of “all-things
aviation,” Frank, Janet and Rosalie will be focused on the ARISS
contact. Planned for 12:01 CT on August 1, the contact will be
conducted using the telebridge station AH6NM at the Sacred Hearts
School in Hawaii. ISS astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP, plans to be
at the microphone during the contact. The ARISS contact will be held
as part of EAA’s Science, Technology Engineering and Math (STEM)
initiative, where the focus on August 1 is space—past present and the
future. Students attending the contact will include 125 women and
their mentors from the EAA’s Women Sour group and students from
Flabob Airport High School and Lakeland Aviation High School.
Several former astronauts will also on-hand for the contact,
including Charlie Precourt, KB5YSQ, who supported SAREX (STS-55 & STS-
71), Jim Voss, who supported ARISS (Expedition 2) and Kent Rominger.
They will share their experiences as former astronauts and leaders in
NASA’s Commercial Crew program. They will also provide the students
a unique view of what it is like to perform SAREX and ARISS contacts
from orbit.
ARISS is an international STEM outreach program that is jointly
sponsored in the U.S. by NASA, ARRL and AMSAT-NA.

STRaND-1 Heard After 113 Days of Silence
Graham Shirville, G3VZV, announced on the AMSAT-BB that Mike DK3WN
has just reported hearing STRaND-1 and decoding telemetry this
evening. The spacecraft has been silent since March 31st so this is
really good news.
I am certain that the project leader, Dr Chris Bridges, who
presented a paper about STRaND-1 at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium last

Slime Mold Satellite gets into the media
A brief mention of the Slime Mold CubeSat posted last March on the
AMSAT-UK and Southgatearc.org sites has been picked up by one of the
Space.Com website writers, Leonard David, who has written a good
article which retained a mention of amateur radio.
It's Summer in the northern hemisphereand media outlets can be short
of stories at this time of year so Leonards story has in turn been
picked up by a few other news outlets and hopefully that will spread.
I guess the thought of Slime in Space captures the imagination.Most
of the resulting stories seem to have retained the mention of amateur
radio.

QB50: Ham Radio transponder payloads to launch 2014
It was announced during the QB50 presentation at the AMSAT-UK
International Space Colloquium that
two CubeSats, carrying SSB/CW and FM voice transponders should be
launched into a 600 km orbit in the first half of 2014
The QB50 project team has announced that on July 19, 2013 they
signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AMSAT-UK, AMSAT-
Francophone, and AMSAT-NL to enable two amateur radio payloads to fly
on two 2-Unit CubeSats in the first half of 2014.
These precursor CubeSats, which have still to be named, will be
placed into a conventional 600 km 98o orbit in advance of the main
mission. This allows for the testing of key satellite and payload
components ahead of the full QB50 mission.
In addition, the precursor mission allows for experimentation and
validation of operational concept of the QB50 mission. Next to these
objectives the amateur radio payloads will be operated as well. At
the beginning of the mission, the various payloads onboard the
spacecraft will be operated in an alternating fashion, whilst the
amateur radio payloads will be operated as the primary payload of the
spacecraft once all QB50 related experimentation has been concluded.
The main mission of QB50 has the scientific objective to study in
situ the temporal and spatial variations of a number of key
constituents and parameters in the lower thermosphere (90-320 km)
with a network of about 40 double CubeSats.
These, university built, CubeSats will be launched into a 320km
circular orbit, will be separated by a few hundred kilometres and
carry identical science sensors. The sensors will monitor parameters
that will greatly increase our knowledge and understanding of this
little explored region of the E and F layers of the Ionosphere.
QB50 will also study the re-entry process by measuring a number of
key parameters during re-entry and by comparing predicted and actual
CubeSat trajectories and orbital lifetimes.
The AMSAT-Francophone (AMSAT-F) payload for one of the satellites
will be an FM voice relay with VHF uplink and UHF downlink. It will
also transmit FX25 telemetry at 9.6kbit. This secondary payload will
be also used in several satellites in the main constellation as their
main receiver and transmitter.
The AMSAT-NL payload, on the other precursor satellite, will
incorporate an SDR based, linear, V/U, transponder core and is being
designed to allow the uploading of firmware updates to enable
enhanced performance and functionality. It will also provide a
telemetry downlink at 1.2kbit using FUNcube compatible BPSK
modulation.
The QB50 spacecraft in the main, short duration, mission will,
generally, have downlinks operating on frequencies in the 435-438 MHz
Amateur Satellite Service allocation and some are expected to use
2.4GHz.
They will be notified to the ITU as a Belgian network after having
been coordinated by the IARU Frequency Coordination Panel. Some of
these will also, on occasions, act as FM voice relays during their
missions.

AMSAT members wave at Cassini
NASA asked people to wave at the Cassini space probe which was
taking pictures from near Saturn. Attendees at the AMSAT-UK
International Space Collquium responded enthusiastically
On Friday, July 19 between 21:27 and 21:47 UT NASA's Cassini
spacecraft took images of Saturn, with the planet Earth in the
background nearly 1.5 billion kilometers away. NASA encouraged the
public to look and wave in the direction of Saturn at the time of the
portrait and share their pictures via the Internet.
AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium attendees were among the
many world-wide who did just that.

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+++ Satellite Operation from Guernsey
>From Peter Goodhall via AMSAT-BB
Hi All,
Just a quick note to say that from the 24th of July till the 30th of
July, I will be active sporadically on satellite passes from Guernsey
(IN89RL) as 2U0SQL.
I shall be focusing on FO-29 and SO-50 passes but no firm pass times,
but hopefully will have internet access and will try posting on
Twitter (@2E0SQL) when I'll be on.
Due to this being camping I will be battery powered using a FT-817 and
an Arrow antenna.
If anyone needs a QSL Card its direct to 2E0SQL or bureau.

+++ DARPA Seeks to Eliminate GPS Dependence
The same impulse that led to the invention of GPS now has engendered
a drive to beget non-GPS. Because of vulnerability to jamming,
spoofing, and other intentional or unintentional modifications of
position, orientation, and time information, DARPA has put forth a
new goal "to completely eliminate dependence on GPS or any other
external signals during the mission and rely solely on self-contained
solutions such as inertial navigation."

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.

(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.

Last Reminder for AMSAT Field Day Summary results
Just a quick reminder that you must have your AMSAT Field Day
results received by me no later than Monday, July 8, 2013 at 23:59 PM
Central Time. If I do not receive them, your group will not be listed
in the AMSAT Field Day story in the journal and they will be mad at
you. We have had 14 submissions so far, last year we had 19. I hope
we beat that number.
Even if your group made one contact, turn it in. That shows you
participated in AMSAT Field Day and succeeded in the feat of getting
through the mess to complete your contact. A lot of groups were
unable to accomplish one.

FITSAT-1 (NIWAKA) Decays
FITSAT-1 (NIWAKA) decayed on 4th July 2013.
The last signal was received by JA0CAW at 03:07(UT).
I appreciate all hams who joined our experiments,
helped our operations, and sent me many reports.
I could make many friends in the world and enjoyed
through FITSAT-1. Though FITSAT-1 became a shooting
star, I am very happy now.
Thank you very much again all Ham friends.

ISS Ham Radio Slow Scan TV active
The Slow Scan TV (SSTV) experiment on the International Space
Station (ISS) was active on July 2-3, on 145.800 MHz FM
The MAI-75 experiment worked very well producing some stunning images.
All you need to do to receive the SSTV pictures from the space
station is to connected the audio output of a scanner or amateur
rig via a simple interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC or an
Apple iOS device, and tune in to 145.800 MHz FM. You can even receive
pictures by holding an iPhone next to the radio's loudspeaker.
On Windows PC's the free application MMSSTV can be used to decode
the signal, on Apple iOS devices you can use the SSTV app. The ISS
Fan Club website will show you when the space station is in range.

Sending Your Own Spacecraft to the Moon
A new project to give thousands of people the opportunity to design,
build and launch personalised spacecraft and send them to the moon has
begun.
Now anyone can become a citizen space explorer and take part in a
mission to send their own Pocket Spacecraft to the moon. At a cost of
just GBP 99 (~EUR119/JPY15499/USD159), explorers who back the project
will be able to personalise their own spacecraft by adding a picture
or message direct from their favourite social media or game profile or
create their own unique design. They can do this from their smartphone
or web browser and will be able to monitor progress throughout their
mission with their own Pocket Mission Control app. Users will be able
to track the progress of their spacecraft as it is designed, built in
the lab and travels through space. More technical explorers will be
able to write software and even customise the on-board hardware
enabling them to conduct their own unique experiments whether mapping
the solar wind or playing laser tag - in space!
Pocket Spacecraft are disks with flexible electronics, smaller than a
CD and as thin as a piece of paper, that will be loaded into an
Interplanetary CubeSat mothership to hitch a ride into space on a
commercial rocket. The mothership will then set off to the moon and
when it arrives many months later, the fleet of Pocket Spacecraft will
be photographed as they are released to land on the moon to complete
their mission.
Anyone can take part in the mission via the crowd-funding site
Kickstarter (search for ‘Pocket Spacecraft‘ or visit
PocketSpacecraft.com ). Since launch in 2009, Kickstarter has raised
more than $500 million for various projects from over 3 million
individuals. Pocket Spacecraft only needs support from 2000 or more
people to allow the mission to go ahead.
The global team of scientists, engineers and designers behind Pocket
Spacecraft have already created two dozen open space projects for the
mission since 2009, supported by more than a hundred volunteers from
twenty countries (and counting) led by co-ordinators in Europe
(Bristol, UK) and America (Pasadena, CA, USA).
Michael Johnson, founder of Pocket Spacecraft, co-created the first
space mission funded on KickStarter (KickSat - due to be launched by
NASA later this year), and influential workshops such as the
Interplanetary CubeSat Workshop at MIT, and the Keck Institute for
Space Studies Small Satellites: A Revolution in Space Science workshop
at Caltech.
“By backing this mission people will revolutionise space exploration
and space science” enthuses Michael. “By democratising interplanetary
space exploration we will create a generation of young explorers who
can use the same affordable methods to explore Mars, Venus and beyond.
We’re building tools so that one day every child will be able to send
their own spacecraft on a robotic field trip in space”.
The campaign will run for 60 days and end on August 26, 2013. Detailed
information regarding the campaign is available on the KickStarter
website:

It is anticipated that both the FUNcube-1 and FUNcube-2 missions
will be launched later this year and the FUNcube team will be on hand
to talk about the missions and the planned educational outreach.
A full demonstration of the Engineering Model, which has been
performing
flawlessly for almost a year, will also be provided.

OPS-SAT opportunity for Radio Amateurs
The ESA OPS-SAT CubeSat provides a rare opportunity for testing new
amateur radio software for use on a CubeSat actually in space.
The 3U CubeSat has deployable solar arrays and plans to launch in
2016 into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Although the formal closing dates for expressions of interest from
potential experimenters for this project has now closed, contact has
been made with Dave Evans at ESA-ESOC who has confirmed that they
would be very interested to receive proposals from an AMSAT team to
develop a novel use of this spacecraft for amateur radio purposes.
In addition to an X Band downlink and S Band uplinks and downlinks,
the spacecraft will carry a simplex transceiver operating with
4k8/9k6 telemetry using GMSK on the 435 MHz band.
It s understood that experimenters will have access to an onboard
processor running Linux/Java at 500 to 800 MHz.
The project is open to teams led by a group from any ESA member
country (this includes Canada) and initial info is shown here
although the detailed design is being rapidly iterated..
It is emphasised that this is a very open project which will require
lots of interaction between the contributing groups.
Bright ideas are needed from our software experts and If there is
sufficient interest it may be possible to host a Skype conference
about this opportunity during the AMSAT-UK International Space
Colloquium over the weekend of July 20-21.
It is not proposed that this should be an AMSAT-UK led project, but
Graham Shirville G3VZV is happy to provide some initial coordination!

Dutch Amateur Radio Satellite User Meeting September 28th 2013
On September 28th, 2013 there will be an amateur radio meeting (in
Dutch: "Interessedag Amateursatellieten") held for everyone who is
interested in amateur radio satellites. It will be held in Paasloo,
in the Northern part of The Netherlands. We are very pleased to join
this day with the annual VHF day held by the Dutch amateur radio
society VERON.
There will be a series of presentations concerning amateur radio
satellites. Amongst others, the following topics will be included: a
portable radio setup, the support radio amateurs provide give to the
scientific community, beginners sessions, and last but not least, the
latest news about two new satellites to be launched soon: the FUNcube-
1 and the Delfi-N3xT satellites (by their project representatives)!
Besides these presentations, it is of course a great opportunity to
meet other amateurs who are interested in satellites, and make plans
for future meetings!
While the main language will be Dutch (including the presentations),
non-Dutch guests are of course welcome to join as well. If you need
assistance with signing up, do not hesitate to ask either PA1IVO or
PA3GUO (both callsign AT amsat.org) for help.
