June 30, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-181.01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. [email protected] 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.

It will be preceded by a "Hands-on" CubeSat Workshop. This free workshop will take place at the nearby University of Surrey on Friday, July 19 and this will be followed, at the hotel, by the usual Colloquium "Beginners Session" in the late afternoon. 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. Further details and booking information at http://amsat-uk.org/colloquium/colloquium-2013/ [ANS thanks Trevor, M5AKA for the above information] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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. For NASA TV streaming video, schedule and downlink information, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/ntv For more information about the International Space Station and its crew, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/station [ANS thanks NASA for the above information] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming ARISS contact with Scuola Secondaria grado "Arturo Toscanini", Capiago Intimiano, Italy and Scuola Media Massimiliano Kolbe, Vercurago, Lecco, Italy An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Scuola Secondaria 1? grado "Arturo Toscanini", Capiago Intimiano, Italy and Scuola Media Massimiliano Kolbe, Vercurago, Lecco, Italy on 29 June.

DATE August 25, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-237.01 ARISS-EU update on the ISS HamVideo How a DATV transmitter on S-band is being added to the ARISS equipment onboard the International Space Station has been related in an announcement recently circulated and available at http://www.ariss-eu.org/HamVideo.pdf The ARISS Ham Video transmitter is presently onboard Columbus. The transmitter was delivered by Japanese cargo spacecraft HTV-4, which launched August 4 and docked 5 days later. ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano KF5KDP / IR0ISS reported that the bags are stored in Columbus. There are two bags: one for the transmitter, the other for the power, camera and antenna cables. Installation will be done by US astronaut Michael Hopkins KF5LJG who has been trained for the commissioning of the Ham Video equipment. The commissioning is planned later in the year, possibly the end of October when there are favourable passes over Italy. Indeed, the tests transmissions for the commissioning of the onboard equipment will be received by the ground station of the “Centro di Geodesia Spaziale” of the Italian Space Agency, located in Matera, Southern Italy. We will report in due time on the commissioning procedure which will involve a series of tests to be performed during 3 or 4 ISS passes. Possibly, the Ham Video transmitter will transmit continuously between the commissioning steps offering amateur ground stations the opportunity to test and tune their receiving equipment. The transmissions will be performed in automatic mode, without requiring crew time. The camera, which runs on a battery, will not be used and the ground stations will receive a black image. Meanwhile, commissioning is being prepared steadily. The kick-off meeting took place November 2012 at ESTEC, the European Space Research and Technology Centre, located in Noordwijk the Netherlands. Detailed procedures are examined and finalized during weekly ESA/ARISS teleconferences. A preliminary EST (Experiment Sequence Test) is planned August 28-29. The test will involve the ARISS ground station IK1SLD, located in Casale Monferrato in Northern Italy. IK1SLD, which is an ARISS telebridge station often used for educational ARISS school contacts on VHF, has been upgraded for S- band reception. Ham Video manufacturer Kayser Italia has delivered a 1.2 meter dish, a down converter and precision tracking motors, which are part of the ESA funded equipment. For the EST, the station will receive a DATV signal from a local low power S-band test transmitter. The decoded signal will be webstreamed to the BATC server. The British Amateur Television Club offers ARISS free access to their server. ESA examiners will connect to the BATC server and evaluate the reception. Test transmissions at IK1SLD will cover the different frequencies and symbol rates available on the Ham Video transmitter. Web streaming will take advantage of the special software developed by Jean Pierre Courjaud, F6DZP. References are available in the HamVideo.pdf. When the Ham Video transmitter will become operational, it will be used for ARISS educational school contacts. Video will be for downlink only. Uplink will be VHF FM audio. The Ericsson transceiver onboard Columbus will be used for reception onboard. This cross band and double mode operation is called Ham TV. Ham Video is the name of the DATV transmitter.

While giving a chronology of the development of Amateur TV onboard the ISS he writes "Meanwhile a possibility opened for the installation of VHF/UHF antennas on Columbus. The Europena Space Agency wanted a VHF antenna for a specific payload and was interested in the manner ARISS antennas had been attached to handrails on the Russian service module. A similar system was adopted for Columbus and, at the same time, ESA accepted the installation of a dual band VHF/UHF antenna for ARISS. The antenna project was funded entirely by AMSAT-NA and volunteers who built the antennas for both the ESA experiment and for ARISS. The installation was done per EVA, 21 November 2009. Soon an Ericsson UHF transceiver, which had served in the early ARISS days, migrated from the REussian to the American segment of the Space Station and started Packet Radio operation." The magazine is available via subscription only. Visit their website www.atvquarterly.com for more information. [ANS thanks Amateur Television Quarterly for the above information] + Monitoring Times In September's "On the Ham Bands" column, Kirk A. Kleinschnit, NT0Z, writes "The Highs and Lows of Amateur Satellites". He cites AMSAT on numerous occasions in the article and includes a picture of Keith Baker, KB1SF, working AO-51. He references AMSAT as a source of information as well as describing AMSAT's efforts with the phase 3 birds, Oscar 10 and 13, our current cooperation with Universities and other entities and cites our website http://www.amsat.org. + CQ VHF The Summer edition of CQ VHF holds several articles related to satellite and EME. Of particular note are "Add ISS Packet Operation to Your Satellites Activity" by The AMSAT Journal Editor-in-Chief, Joanne Maenpaa, K9JKM. This article originally appeared in the proceedings of the 2012 AMSAT Symposium. In his "Satellites" column, Keith Pugh, W5IU, writes "Dayton, Ham- Com, Field Day, ARISS Update, and What's New for Working the Birds." Needless to say, the article covers a lot of territory and includes pictures of Tony AA2TX and Wendell W2BFJ, Barry WD4ASW, and Keith W5IU. + QST Check out pages 46-47 of the September QST for an article, "Decibels and dBm Demystified" written by AMSAT member and AMSAT Journal columnist Bob DeVarney, W1ICW. --------------------------------------------------------------------- New Booster: Japan space agency unveils new rocket Epsilon The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on Tuesday unveiled its new solid-fuel rocket Epsilon before its launch with a scientific satellite next week. Epsilon, a three-stage rocket with 24.4 meter in length, 2.6 meters in diameter and 91 ton in weight, is to be launched from the state-run agency's Uchinoura Space Center in southwestern prefecture of Kagoshima. The rocket is a successor of the M-5 rocket that was retired in 2006 and is planned to carry a telescope named SPRINT-A, world's first space telescope for remote observation of planets. The agency originally scheduled to launch the rocket Thursday but postponed until next Tuesday due to wrong wiring in communication equipment.

"I set the radio to the ‘random’ contacts frequency, and without knowing what to expect, I put on the headphones. Physically, the International Space Station was still many kilometres away from the coastlines of Europe, but our horizon stretches out beneath us for thousands of kilometres and the various European ground stations could already see us. My ears were immediately overwhelmed by a cacophony of unidentifiable sounds and noises, voices, screeching and white noise. Then suddenly, a voice surfaced above the other sounds; it was a young man, in my mind barely more than a boy. He was calling the ISS American radio call sign (NA1SS) and repeating his own call sign. I was taken aback by the emotion that rose in me as I tried to reply to the call, using the Italian call sign (IR0ISS). But my excitement was nothing compared to the sheer astonishment and disbelief I heard in that voice, thousands of kilometres away. Speaking English with a beautiful Portuguese accent, the radio operator on the other side of the signal only managed to say a few words – “I don’t know what to say… This is a dream come true for me!” Luca finishes by writing, "Men, women, young and old, experts and complete beginners – they have all wrapped me in a warm blanket of friendship and gratitude, oblivious to the fact that I’m the one who should be thanking them for opening up the doors to an experience that began with that young man in Portugal, and that crossing space and time, reaches the heart of each and every amateur radio operator even before it reaches their ears."

[ANS thanks AMSAT Office for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ham Radio in Space: Ham Radio Payloads Preparing to Launch Two CubeSats carrying SSB/CW and FM voice transponders are scheduled to be launched into a 600 km orbit during the first half of next year. That news came during the QB50 Project presentation at the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium earlier this summer. The QB50 project team has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AMSAT-UK, AMSAT-Francophone and AMSAT-NL to enable two Amateur Radio payloads to fly on two yet-to-be-named "precursor" CubeSats in advance of the main mission, to deploy about 40 double satellites. The CubeSat launch allows for the testing of key satellite and payload components. In addition, the precursor mission allows for experimentation and validation of the QB50 operational concept. The Amateur Radio payloads will become the primary payload of the spacecraft once all QB50-related experimentation has been concluded. The 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 9.6 kbit. The AMSAT-NL payload on the other precursor satellite will incorporate an SDR-based, linear V/U transponder core. It will provide a telemetry downlink at 1.2 kbit. The QB50 spacecraft generally will have downlinks in the 435-438 MHz Amateur Satellite Service allocation, although some are expected to use 2.4 GHz. Meanwhile, the Baltic nation of Lithuania is hoping that its first two satellites will be launched later this year from the International Space Station (ISS). The nanosatellites carrying Amateur Radio payloads could be among the CubeSats sent by payload handler NanoRacks LLC to the ISS on the SpaceX CRS-3 mission this November. The Kaunas University of Technology is developing LituanicaSAT-1, while the Lithuanian Space Association is working on LitSat-1. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the historic flight by Lithuanian pilots Steponas Darius and Stasys Gireenas in the Lituanica aircraft. On July 15, 1933, they took off from Floyd Bennett Field in New York and flew across the Atlantic, covering a distance of 6,411 kilometers in 37 hours and 11 minutes. Tragically they perished after crashing in Germany, just 650 kilometers from their destination of Kaunas, Lithuania.

Most of the satellites will carry amateur radio payloads and it should be the largest single deployment of amateur radio satellites since the ill-fated Dnepr launch of July 26, 2006. http://www.southgatearc.org/news/july2006/dnepr_failure.htm The launch had originally been planned for September 2012 but was postponed while the future of the Dnepr launch program was discussed. Among the satellites carrying payloads operating in amateur radio bands that may be on the November launch are: • UniSat-5 microsat which will deploy Eagle-1, Eagle-2, QB-Scout, estar-2, Wren and PUCP-SAT-1 which it turn should release a further satellite Pocket-PUCP • Delfi-n3Xt • Triton-1 • Triton-2 • GOMX-1 • FUNcube-1 • UWE-3 • CubeBug-2 • BRITE-PL1 • Humsat-D • CPUT ZAcube-1 • HinCube • BeakerSat • NEE-02 KRYSAOR (910 MHz) [ANS thanks Southgate ARN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The USA Lower 48 Worked all 488 Grids non-Award John Papay K8YSE, recently announced, on the AMSAT-BB, that he has just completed working all 488 grids in the Lower 48 states. John writes, "Some of the active grid chasers on the birds are aware that KA6SIP just gave me my last USA grid when he operated from CN72 in Oregon. And I thought it might be interesting to look at the stats and how one manages to work and confirm all 488 USA lower 48 States grids. "Satellite operators come and go and grids come and go with them. A grid might have a very active operator in it and then it is off the air when that person goes away for whatever reason. Interestingly, about half of the 488 grids that were worked were from those operating portable, not in the sense of using a radio with batteries, but in the traditional sense of operating away from their home station location. Once you have experienced being on the other end of a small pileup, you will want to do it again. Just ask W7LRD who tried it recently and is planning another trip." In his post John goes on to list operators who exited the comfort of their home station and put a grid on the air. John further reflects, "I started with satellites in June 2006 and only had 47USA grids by August 2008. From August 2008 till Jan 2009 I worked another 109. In 2009 199 were worked. 2010 was 76 and 2011 was 44. Only 4 new grids were worked in 2012 and 9 were snagged in 2013. Eight of those final 9 grids were handed out by Tom KA6SIP. He heard about the need and decided to make a grid expedition to put them on the air. He did 7 of them in one trip. Then Bob W7LRD went to the beach in CN77, operating away from home for the first time. That left CN72. Tom just got back from Hawaii and quickly made plans to camp out in CN72 and gave me the final grid on AO-7B, 20 August 2013 at 2332z. Then he put CN71 on the air on 22-23August, also a very rare grid square but one that I already had. Many others worked him there. "There is no award for working all 488 grids on satellites as there is for six meters (FFMA). The ARRL awards committee has looked at it and will implement it if someone on the Board of Directors brings it up for a vote and it passes. Hopefully that will happen soon. Having that type of award gives everyone something to work for. It promotes grid expeditions and interest in working through the satellites. If we all contact our ARRL Director, it might just happen. "There may be others who have already worked all 488 grids on satellites. K6YK might be one of them. I know there are several others who are getting close. It is not any easy thing to accomplish even if you operate every day. It is something you can work towards over the years. "I want to thank everyone that made satellite contacts with me that ultimately led to working all 488. Many went out of their way to put on a grid. Over half of the grids worked were from grid expeditions! If you haven't experienced operating away from home, please consider it. With new operators showing up on the birds every day, there is always a need for an uncommon grid. And you will have a lot of fun doing it! Just ask anyone on my list." John's original post, including the list of those who worked him portable, can be found in the bulletin board archives http://www.amsat.org/amsat/archive/amsat-bb/48hour/msg98283.html Congratulations on your accomplishment, John!

The recovery was achieved after one of the AMSAT-LU stations in coordination and in conjunction with Satellogic team, sent a command to reconfigure onboard software that turned off attitude control circuits feeding magnetorquers this last weekend . Telemetry text mode command taken before change can be seen at http://www.amsat.org.ar/images/cubebug130818.txt . Operation was done using RTL dongle, connected directly to antenna, using HDSDR recording software as IF mode only, that helped not to record big amount of data from Orbitron connected to DDE, also automatically compensating Doppler, see http://www.amsat.org.ar/images/cubebug130818.jpg which at top shows command sent and satellite response below. After reset, Cubebug-1 went to 'mission state', batteries showing adequate level of charge. Good reports were received from several amateurs from different parts of the globe. This activity was performed as part of the agreement of mutual collaboration that Satellogic & Amsat-LU signed in July 2013. The satellite transmits at 1200 bps AFSK, on 437.438 KHz, broadcasting packets every 30 seconds, signal is low requiring directional antenna and preamp for adequate reception. Cubebug-1 telemetry information can be found at http://1.cubebug.org/coms/telemetry It is hoped that the packet radio digipeater, that is onboard Cubebug-1, will be activated for amateur radio use after its primary mission objectives have been met.

In this edition: * HamTV Transmitter Launched to ISS * AMSAT.ORG Gets Make Over * Have You Received Your 2013 AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Ballot? * AMSAT Mentions and Articles of interest in the Press * Radio Scouting – ARISS Contact Reception Report * Radio Ham’s Leaky Spacesuit * Curiosity First Anniversary Event * ARISS News * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-216.01 ANS-216 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 216.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. DATE August 4, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-216.01 HamTV Transmitter Launched to ISS On Saturday, August 3 at 1948 UT the Japanese HTV-4 cargo vessel was successfully launched to the International Space Station (ISS). On- board was the HamTV transmitter and a number of CubeSats carrying amateur radio payloads. The Japanese space agency JAXA has announced details of four CubeSats on the launch. They will be deployed from the ISS by the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) between October 2013 and March 2014. The four CubeSats are: • PicoDragon a 1U CubeSat developed by Vietnam National Satellite Center(VNSC), University of Tokyo, IHI aerospace. CW beacon on 437.250 MHz and 1k2 AFSK AX.25 telemetry on 437.365 MHz • ArduSat-1 and ArduSat-X 1U CubeSats developed by Nanorack, NanoSatisfi. ArduSat-1 437.325 MHz 9k6 MSK CCSDS downlink. ArduSat-X 437.345MHz 9k6 MSK CCSDS downlink. • TechEdSat-3 a 3U CubeSat developed by NASA Ames Research Center The company NanoRack has announced it is sending 36 Units of CubeSats to the ISS (believed to be 26 separate CubeSats, some 2U or 3U in size). At the time of writing it is believed they will be going on a later cargo vessel. The main mission of HamTV is to perform contacts between the astronauts on the ISS and school students, not only by voice, but also by unidirectional video from the ISS to the ground within the ARISS program. The ESA Columbus module on the ISS will host the 2.4 GHz video transmitting station in addition to the existing 144 MHz FM amateur radio station. This new equipment can broadcast images from the ISS during the school contacts or other pre-recorded video images up to 24 hours a day to allow ground stations tuning. It is planned to transmit DVB-S signals on 2.4 GHz at either 1.3Msps or 2.3Msps with 10 watts of RF. The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel have announced frequencies of 2422.0 MHz and 2437.0 MHz. HamVideo is the name of the onboard DATV S-band transmitter. HamTV is the name of the complete system, comprising DATV downlink and VHF voice uplink. Kaiser Italia SRL was the prime-contractor for the design and development of the flight and ground segment http://www.kayser.it/index.php/exploration-2/ham-tv Read the HamTV overview paper here.

We are by no means done, and welcome the assistance of others to generate content and features for the site. We are using the WordPress content management system. so changing content is much simpler than earlier schemes used on www.amsat.org. It's got a nice web based interface that should be familiar to anyone with basic word processing skills. If you see something you think you can improve on, drop Joe Fitzgerald note, jfitzgerald at alum dot wpi dot edu ! [ANS thanks Joe KM1P for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Have You Received Your 2013 AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Ballot? Ballots were mailed to members in good standing by July 15th, and must be returned to the AMSAT-NA office no later than the close of business on September 15th, 2013. If you have not received your ballot by August 5th, please contact the AMSAT Office. Ballots sent to members outside North America are automatically sent via air mail. It is suggested that they be returned the same way. This year there are eight candidates running for the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors. The four candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be seated as voting Board Members with two year terms. The two candidates receiving the next highest number of votes will be non-voting Alternate Board Members with terms of one year. Please vote for no more than four candidates.

In addition to these are articles on EME from Antartica and the ESTCube-1 CubeSate The August Monitoring Times cover story is "How to Become an ISS APRS Gateway", by Christopher Friesen, VE4CWF. Keith Pugh's, KB1SF/VA3KSF, Amateur Radio Satellites column covers Saudisat 1C (SO- 50, ESTCube-1 and Fox-1A. Note that Grove Enterprises has announced that it will cease publication of Monitoring Times in December of this year. [ANS thanks ANS Editors for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Radio Scouting – ARISS Contact Reception Report The Boy Scout’s of America 2013 Jamboree included many radio activities by the club station K2BSA. The station was on the air on various frequencies and modes of operation and had a planned contact with astronauts aboard the international space station as part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. ARISS contacts are important opportunities for students to learn about amateur radio, space exploration, science and technology. They also offer radio hobbyists a unique opportunity to monitor communications from the most impressive human-built structure ever sent into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Participating in “Radio Scouting,” the general term used to describe the activities associated with amateur radio and scouting, also affords scouts the opportunity to earn their radio merit badges. The space station was making a relatively low 30 degree pass to the south of my location. I copied amateur radio station NA1SS’s half of the contact by climbing to the peak of my roof to get as free from the trees and other rooftops as possible and used my Yaesu FT-60R handheld transceiver and my “Slapshot” antenna. The following is my official reception report: Date: July 20, 2013 Time: 15:34 to 15:38 UTC Frequency: 145.800 +/- Doppler shift Mode: FM Signal: Full quieting Comments: I copied NA1SS making contact with K2BSA and begin answering questions. It sounded like Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP was conducting the QSO. Parmitano answered questions about whether he was a scout, how they clean up after themselves, and the use of robotics in space. I copied two audio clips, the first and clearest clip is 3 minutes long. Fortunately my clip contains the audio with both call signs being used by Parmitano. See the full article with links to the audio at http://tinyurl.com/ANS-216-B (Flash player required) [ANS thanks Christopher VE4CWF for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Radio Ham’s Leaky Spacesuit In edition 683 of Jonathan’s Space Report (JSR) Jonathan McDowell provides the history of the spacesuit of radio amateur Luca Parmitano KF5KDP which developed a water leak inside the helmet during a spacewalk on July 9, 2013. The spacewalk was abandoned and he was assisted back to the International Space Station (ISS) by Chris Cassidy KF5KDR. The suit Luca Parmitano KF5KDP used for the extravehicular activity (EVA) was EMU 3011. It had three previous station tours, here is its flight history: Flight 1 STS-79 1996 Sep 16-1996 Sep 25 (Apt, not used) Flight 2 STS-83 1997 Apr 4-1997 Apr 8 (Spacelab, Gernhardt, not used) Flight 3 STS-94 1997 Jul 1-1997 Jul 17 (Spacelab, Gernhardt, not used) Flight 4 STS-91 1998 Jun 2-1998 Jun 12 (Chang, not used) Flight 5 STS-95 1998 Oct 29-1998 Nov 7 (Robinson, not used) Flight 6 STS-96 1999 May 27-1999 Jun 6 (Barry, 1 EVA) Flight 7 STS-101 2000 May 19-2000 May 29 (Horowitz, not used) Flight 8 STS-106 2000 Sep 8-2000 Sep 20 (Backup, not used) Flight 9 STS-97 2000 Dec 1-2000 Dec 11 (Tanner, 3 EVA) Flight 10 STS-100 2001 Apr 19-2001 Jul 25 (ISS tour, Hadfield (2), down on 104) Flight 11 STS-109 2002 Mar 1-2002 Mar 12 (HST, Massimino(2)) Flight 12 STS-111 2002 Jun 5-2005 Aug 9 (ISS tour, Sellers (3),Pettit(2), down on 114) Flight 13 STS-126 2008 Nov 15-2009 Nov 27 (ISS tour, down on 129, not used) Flight 14 STS-132 2010 May 14-present (ISS tour; Williams (1), Hoshide (2), Parmitano(2)) EMU 3011 incorporates the PLSS 1011 backpack – this contains most of the systems and you can think of it as the core of the suit considered as its own spaceship, with the other components as a relatively inert bubble containing the human occupant. Before the EMU 3000 series nomenclature was adopted, PLSS 1011 flew multiple times: Flight 1 STS 61-B 1985 Nov 27-1985 Dec 3 EMU 1070/PLSS 1011 (Spring, 1 EVA) Flight 2 STS-26R 1988 Sep 29-1988 Oct 3 EMU 1090/PLSS 1011 (Lounge, not used) Flight 3 STS-27R 1988 Dec 2-1988 Dec 6 EMU 1090/PLSS 1011 (Ross, not used) Flight 4 STS-29R 1989 Mar 13-1989 Mar 18 EMU 1090/PLSS 1011 (Springer, not used) Flight 5 STS-28R 1989 Aug 8-1989 Aug 13 EMU 1098/PLSS 1011 (Brown, not used) Flight 6 STS-36 1990 Feb 28-1990 Mar 4 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Thout, not used) Flight 7 STS-41 1990 Oct 6-1990 Oct 10 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Akers, not used) Flight 8 STS-39 1991 Apr 28-1991 May 6 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Harbaugh, not used) Flight 9 STS-48 1991 Sep 12-1991 Sep 18 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Buchli, not used) Flight 10 STS-46 1992 Jul 31-1992 Aug 8 EMU 2021/PLSS 1011 (Chang, not used) Flight 11 STS-73 1995 Oct 20-1995 Nov 5 EMU 2034/PLSS 1011 (Coleman, not used) So, this PLSS has flown a total of 25 times in space over 28 years – although of course there’s a bit of a “grandfather’s axe” paradox involved as it’s not clear how many of the original components remain.

The event will be broadcast on NASA Television and streamed live on the agency's website. Media and the public are welcome to attend to hear highlights from the Mars Science Laboratory's first year of investigations, learn about upcoming NASA robotic missions to the red planet, and speak with astronauts conducting experiments in space that will enable human exploration of Mars in the 2030s. Those interested in attending should plan to arrive at NASA Headquarters, 300 E St. SW, by 11:30 a.m. Seating is limited. Participating will be: • Charles Bolden, NASA administrator • Chris Cassidy, KF5KDR and Karen Nyberg, NASA astronauts, live from the space station • Jim Green, director, Planetary Division, NASA's Science Mission Directorate • Sam Scimemi, director, NASA's International Space Station Program • Prasun Desai, acting director, Strategic Integration, NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate The Mars Science Laboratory mission successfully placed the one-ton Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars on Aug. 6, 2012, UTC and EDT (evening of Aug. 5, 2012, PDT), about 1 mile from the center of its 12-mile-long target area. Within the first eight months of a planned 23-months primary mission, Curiosity met its major science objective of finding evidence of a past environment well-suited to support microbial life. With much more science to come, Curiosity's wheels continue to blaze a trail for human footprints on Mars.

The contact began 2013-07-30 08:26 UTC and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was telebridged via VK4KHZ. IN3GHZ served as the ARISS Mentor. The Italian Bilingual School in New South Wales Australia offers your child a unique educational opportunity to achieve excellence through bilingualism. The study of Italian offers students a window into a culture of beauty, a vehicle for creative individuality and an appreciation of the musicality in language. Italian is, after English, the most widely spoken language in Australia. Over half a million Italian Australians use the language every day. The study of Italian prepares our students for the challenges of a multicultural global community by deepening their understanding of cultural diversity. + A Successful contact was made between Oshkosh Air Venture Air Show, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA and Astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP using callsign NA1SS. The contact began 2013-08-01 17:01 UTC and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was telebridged via AH6NM. KA3HDO served as the ARISS Mentor. With 500,000 visitors to EAA's AirVenture each year and a student membership of more than 20,000, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is a gateway to aerospace for many young people. The young people present for the contact with the space station were very diverse and reflect the range of people who are active in our organization. This includes a large group of 125 young women and their mentors as part of WomenSoar, where young women can find amazing opportunities with aerospace. Attending, also, were groups from aviation high schools from Florida and California whom participated in the ham radio contact with the ISS crew. And finally there were additional attendees of all ages who listened and participated with great interest. The EAA believes that inspiring the next generation is work worth doing. We believe in working to grow interest by sharing compelling, real life stories of people who have found rewarding careers and lifestyles through Aerospace. We hope to grow participation in aviation and space and all of its related areas through this once in a lifetime opportunity to talk with astronauts in space and the folks we will have with us on the ground. The ARISS contact an amazing way to help these outstanding students reach that goal. + A Successful contact was made between Space Jam 7 at the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum, Rantoul, IL, USA and Astronaut Christopher J. Cassidy, KF5KDR using callsign NA1SS. The contact began 2013-08-03 20:46 UTC and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was telebridged via LU8YY. AJ9N served as the ARISS Mentor. We live in a fast-paced world impacted by evolving technology. Space Jam 7 was developed to catch up with the interests and needs of our youth involved in scouting. While scouting will always address camping and pioneer skills, Our objective at the event was to teach STEM technology merit badges and skills required by tomorrow's pioneers, the astronauts. Three of our 44 major activities involved robotics. In addition to 2 Space Exploration classes we taught the Aviation merit badge (including actual flights), introduction to Scuba, Metal Work, Geology, Inventing, Electronics and Electricity. For the first time we offered Cinematography merit badge and a class where Scouts and adults could earn their ham radio license. We were attended by 2000 Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and leaders from 20 different states, who flew, drove and took the train from across the country. 350+ volunteers put this together because they love what they do. Of course our signature merit badge was again the Duck Tape merit badge that we do just for fun. Our theme this year was the Future of Space Exploration and our answer to that implied question is not so much about going to the planet Mars but the education of these youth who will get us there and who asked questions of the astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Upcoming Contacts Epet Nº 2, Gral. Pico, Argentina, telebridge via LU8YY Contact is a go for: Tue 2013-08-06 11:48:35 UTC Ecole Primaire Pasteur, Fleurance, France, telebridge via LU1CGB Contact is a go for: Wed 2013-08-07 11:01:18 UTC ARISS is requesting listener reports for the above contacts. Due to issues with the Kenwood radio that are not fully understood at present,the Ericsson radio is going to be used for these contacts. ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals. For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal, submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the school. NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal. You must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS at mail dot nasa dot gov or by calling them at (281) 244-2320. The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact: Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Here you will find a listing of all scheduled school contacts, and questions, other ISS related websites, IRLP and Echolink websites, and instructions for any contact that may be streamed live. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf A complete year by year breakdown of the contacts may be found in the file. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf [ANS thanks ARISS, Charlie AJ9N and Dave AA4KN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Satellite Shorts From All Over + 432 and Above EME Newsletter is now online http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/em70cm.html + Frank Griffin, K4FEG, reported to the AMSAT-BB, "it is my opinion that we are quickly approaching the end of the Eclipse Cycle for AO7 this season. In May of 2014 I hope to look at the beginning of the Eclipse Cycle and work at predicting the beginning and end of it better. This has been a fun exercise for me and I appreciate those from around the world that forwarded their observations to me. Now it is time to sit and wait to see if the switches start back on August 2, 2013 at @21:00 UTC" + In a follow-up post Paul Stoetzer, N8HM, adds "The "AMSAT-OSCAR 7 Technical Operator's Plan And Experimenter's Guide" found starting on page 75 of this PDF, http://ka9q.net/AMSAT-Newsletter-1974.pdf says that the clock automatically switches the satellite to Mode B at 0000 GMT. If the clock is reset by eclipse to 0000, it stands to reason that it would always come up in Mode B out of eclipse." Paul later reported Interestingly, it looks like it's still in Mode B based on status reports, and hasn't switched to Mode A at all despite being in full illumination for more than 48 hours at this point. Even though it's not fully eclipsed at any point in it's orbit now, maybe it's still not receiving enough sunlight to remain powered up at some point during it's orbit? Telemetry reports would be very interesting to see what the onboard clock is reading. + AMSAT-NA has several presences on Social Media.
