AMSAT News Service Bulletin 290.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
October 16, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-290.01
AMSAT-NA is supporting the 51st Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) Scouting
event by dedicating AO-51 operation to the event. For October 18th
and 19th, AO-51 will be configured as a single channel V/U repeater.
All users are requested to standby for JOTA stations. Please limit
QSOs to those between or involving at least one JOTA station during
this weekend.
The frequencies used for this weekend will be 145.880 FM uplink, and
435.300 FM downlink, no PL tone required. The mode change should occur
at ~00:00 UTC on the 18th (Friday evening in the US) and run for
approximately 48 hours.
AMSAT wishes the Scouts good luck operating via the AO-51 satellite for
the event. Reports of your JOTA operations should be sent to the AMSAT-BB
or directly to ko4ma(a)amsat.org. Photo files up to 5 Mb total are also
welcome for possible inclusion in an upcoming AMSAT Journal article.

SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launch date: December 20, 2002
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
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
repeater 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.

The ARISS team has a lot of exciting activities planned for the next few
weeks, including the flight of Soyuz 17S to space station with Richard
Garriott, W5KWQ and Mike Fincke, KE5AIT on-board. The following
represents some new information and capabilities that we are rolling out
to the community to prepare for Richard's and Mike's flight. Please go
to www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, www.arrl.org and www.issfanclub.com for
real-time information updates.
The ARISS SSTV team announces the new ARISS SSTV Web Gallery and Blog.
A website has been established to enable amateur radio operators to
share their pictures received from the International Space Station's
SSTV system. People wishing to view photos captured from the ISS or
upload their own captured pictures can go to
http://www.amsat.com/ARISS_SSTV/. There is also
a blog in which the ARISS SSTV Team will post announcements and
additional information about the project. The blog can be viewed at
http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/.
To prepare for the upcoming SSTV operations, you are welcome to "try
out" the new Web Gallery by posting past SSTV images (on-orbit and
terrestrial). These will be deleted prior to the ARISS SSTV events that
are planned for this weekend and during ISS Expedition 17 and Richard
Garriott's flight (see below).
ISS SSTV Operations Planned for October 12
The ARISS team received word from ARISS Russia delegate Sergey Samburov,
RV3DR, that the current ISS crew expect to transmit SSTV on October 12
from 18:00-21:00 UTC. This is your opportunity to test out your SSTV
reception capability and to post images on the ARISS SSTV Gallery. The
planned downlink for this operation will be 145.80 MHz with Robot 36 as
the expected SSTV mode of operation.
Good luck receiving SSTV images this weekend, and from the ISS during
Richard Garriott's flight.
Richard Garriott Operations
As stated previously, Richard plans to perform several school contacts
and downlink SSTV images during his flight. He also plans to contact
the general ham community in his free time and perform random scout
contacts during Jamboree on the Air. SSTV downlinks are planned on
145.80. SSTV uplinks are not currently planned. The standard general
contact frequencies will be used to support the Jamboree on the Air and
general QSO passes.
So that you are not calling CQ for naught, Richard's school contacts,
thanks to Will Marchant, KC6ROL, Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, and Sergey
Samburov, RV3DR, are tentatively scheduled as follows:

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
repeater 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.

ANS Special Bulletin - AO-51 Configuration for Robot 36 SSTV
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 283.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
October 9, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-283.01
This weekend (October 11-12) AO-51 will operate in a special mode
in anticipation of Richard Garriott's visit to the ISS. Richard's
launch is currently scheduled for October 12th, with docking at
the ISS on October 14th. Richard plans on being very active from
the ISS ham station, including extensive operation with Slow Scan
Television (SSTV).
In preparation for this event, AO-51 will be configured with dual
repeaters for the weekend of October 11th and 12th. The primary
repeater on AO-51 will be configured with an uplink on 1268.700 FM
and downlink of 435.300 FM, and will be designated for this period
as an SSTV repeater.
Users are encouraged to exchange SSTV images in ROBOT 36 mode, as
an opportunity for others to practice receiving SSTV images from
space before the ISS activity. Please keep the images transmitted
to space-related themes, and to the ROBOT 36 mode. Polite and cour-
teous operation among those sharing the uplink is crucial to the
success of this mode.
Concurrently, there will be a QRP voice repeater running on 145.880
FM uplink and 435.150 FM downlink. Users are asked to use 10 watts or
less, and omnidirectional or handheld antennas only.
Good luck receiving SSTV images this weekend, and from the ISS
during Richard Garriott's flight.

organization towards. Remember, the BOD meeting is open to the general
membership. You can sit in the audience and watch the
progress of the BOD as they finalize decisions.
The rest of the meeting will include a fine lineup of presentations by
those "rocket scientists" we've heard so much about. Talk to the
various committee members and ask your important burning questions on
your favorite subjects. Saturday night is the Banquet for all to enjoy.

(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
repeater 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
repeater 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.

ARISS Confirms Amateur Radio Hardware Deliveries
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 272.02
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
September 28, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-272.02
The ARISS team received confirmation from Sergey, RV3DR, that the
recent Progress flight delivered the flight backup D-700, a David
Clark Headset for the Ericsson system, and an additional VOX box
and cables to support the computer-operated SSTV system. The D700
may be installed as early as late this week, depending on crew
availability. The flight backup will not provide a significant
change in ARISS operations, making it easier for the crew to change
program modes.
Richard Garriott plans to take a Kenwood VC-H1 SSTV communicator
with him on-board the Soyuz for his flight and leave it aboard the
ISS for future ARISS use. The VC-H1 has completed all hardware
certification on the US and Russian sides. The final test, an EMI
radiated emissions test, was performed last week and the test data
was delivered to Sergey Samburov, RV3DR in Russia this week. The
VC-H1 provides a very simple interface for ISS crew members and does
not require the use of a computer. Computer usage has been a real
challenge for ARISS, so the VC-H1 represents a lesson learned to
improve ARISS operations.

Richard Garriott Operations Call for Support
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 272.03
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
September 28, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-272.03
Early during Richard Garriott's flight, he expects to setup the
VC-H1 SSTV system and autonomously transmit a new Earth image
every 3 minutes. He hopes to have this system on a great deal
of his flight. We encourage the ham community to bring SSTV
equipment into schools and download these images in real-time.
The ARISS team also plans to display images from hams around the
world on a special on a web/blog site. A beta site has been de-
veloped and will be rolled out to the ham community in the near
future.
To successfully implement the on-line SSTV picture site and support
it 24/7 during Richard's flight, we will need some savvy individuals
that can sort through the many SSTV photos that ARISS will receive
and keep the SSTV site up to date in near real time. Some computer
skills will be required. We are looking for global support from a
few individuals in each international region to make this happen.
That way we will not be asking individuals to volunteer all-night
to realize this project. If you are interested in helping on this,
please e-mail Frank Bauer, KA3HDO directly via ka3hdo(a)amsat.org.

application to launch the proposed "EuroDAST" micro-satellite onboard
the Arianespace VEGA launcher, with its VERTA-1 flight opportunity."
Florio continues, "Although it be launched with a European Launcher and
is based on an AMSAT-Italia mission concept, the development of such
micro-satellite is open to worldwide contributions in hardware and soft-
ware." Any individuals or groups of interested amateurs, universities,
research centers having space based hardware or software concepts are
