ISS Amateur Radio Status: March 11, 2008
By Miles Mann WF1F,
Slow Scan TV from Space Station Mir, 10 years later.
On December 12, 1998 the crew members of the Russian
Space station Mir activated the Marex SSTV system.
Over the next two years the system broadcasted over
20,000 SSTV images back to earth via Amateur Radio.
te the 10 year anniversary of the successful
imaging project, the Marx team is planning on
upgrading our web page system to accommodate the many
images that were transmitted during the projects 2
year run. In 1998 we just did not have the resources
in place to handle the hundreds of images coming in
every day. As a result only a small select on of the
images were ever posted for public enjoyment.

The AO-16 Command Team invites radio amateurs to continue to use
the voice mode of operations. Mark, N8MH says, "The plan is to
continue this mode of voice operations until further notice."
AO-16 has been in full sunlight (no eclipse periods at all) for
several months. That is about to change later this month! Short
eclipse periods will begin at the end of March and will increase
steadily until early July--at which point the eclipse periods will
increase to about 26 minutes each orbit. We'll have to watch this
old bird and its batteries as the eclipse periods increase.
The S-band beacon is not operational at this time. The exact
status of the S-band transmitter remains unknown.
The AO-16 Command Team has updated the weekly satellite report

#1. AMSAT and TAPR will again have a combined Banquet during the
2008 Dayton Hamvention. Unfortunately the Air Force is no longer
offering the museum for non-military events. The 2008 AMSAT/TAPR
Banquet will be Friday night, May 16 at the Kohler Presidential
Banquet Center in Kettering, OH. Banquet times, the menu and the
cost will be announced shortly, but all are expected to be similar
to past banquets. Mark you calendar for Friday, May 16 and join
your AMSAT and TAPR friends for an enjoyable evening.
#2. The AMSAT Engineering video featuring Bob McGwier had to be
moved. The new URL is mms://media.wmfd.com/amsat/EngMovie08.wmv
Bob discusses the engineering team plans for the next year. They
have a number of things on their plate and it looks like a productive
year for AMSAT Engineering. Thanks to Rob and Gunther Meisse and
WMFD for hosting the video. We have a number of other amateur videos
in production.
#3. We are evaluating placing the current AO-51 mode on the front
page of the AMSAT web site for a few weeks. We will change the
display as the mode changes. You can see the entire month's

This is the first call for speakers for the 22nd Amsat-UK Colloquium
which will be held at Surrey University, Guildford, Surrey, U.K.,
from Friday 25th July to Sunday 27th July 2007.
Details of this and previous events can be found at:
http://www.uk.amsat.org/content/view/32/42/
Amsat-UK invite speakers, about amateur radio space and associated
activities, for this event. They are also invited to submit papers
for the "Proceedings" document which will be published at the same
time but printed papers are not mandatory. We normally prefer authors
to present talks themselves rather than having someone else give them
in the authors' absence. We also welcome "unpresented" papers for the
Proceedings document.
Offers of talks should be submitted as soon as possible; the final
date for full documents to be received is late-June 2007 in order
that the "Proceedings" document be available to participants.

Hi all,
I have published several articles in relation to ham satellites in AMSAT
and other magazines such as URE, CQ-DL, Megahertz Magazine and several
Webs. But most of them were in Spanish. I have translated them into
English, you can find the following issues:
- The CJU antenna. It was designed by EB4DKA and EA4CYQ to improve the
UHF reception with your HT, it is thought to uplink with your VHF mobile
station. You will receive the UHF downlink in the same way a fix
satellite station.
- The IOio antenna. It was designed by EA4CYQ to work V/U and U/V
amateur satellites with an HT. It has an amazing performance, it is
even better than the Arrow antenna in some features.
- A dual band portable yagui antenna. This is a very well known antenna
into the amateur satellites world. Here you can find how to build it
with normal stuff and an impressive performance.
- The EGGBEATER II and TPM II antennas. They were designed by Jerry
K5OE. In this article I tell my experience at the beginning in the
amateur satellites world and all the vicissitudes to work amateur
satellites from my shack with the minimal equipment. Here you will find
all the details to build these fantastic antennas.
- The 2.4GHz DISH ANTENNA. Taking advantage of my AO-40 experience I
could go more deeply into the microwaves world. Here you can find all
the details to build two different 2.4GHz dish feed systems, which you
will be able to use in wireless terrestrial communications.
- The LINEAR TRANSPONDERS. A lot of amateur satellites use this system.
This article will help you to understand how they work.
- HF or SATELLITES?. I try to demonstrate with this article that a
satellite fix station is at least as good as an HF station. You will
get the same performance with small antennas and low power out.
- The DATA CONNECTOR. This connector has much more possibilities than
to be hooked to a TNC. In this article I study its features and I
propose to use it with a PC soundcard, to receive meteorological
satellites and I even propose to build a cross band repeater. You will
be surprised about its possibilities.
- CIRCULAR POLARIZATION. If you want to know more about this kind of
polarization and you want to see a comparative of VHF and UHF circular
polarized commercial antennas, you should read this article.
- TRANSCEIVERS TO WORK SATELLITES. If you are thinking about setting up
a fix satellite station, here you can find all the transceivers in the
market and combinations between them to be successful.
- THE EA4CYQ SHACK. Here I describe my shack, perhaps it could be
useful as a reference if you are thinking about setting up one.
- THE EA4CYQ LOG. If you have contacted with my station between June
1.996 and March 2.008, here you can find it. It is in call sign
alphabetical order. We will upload it in the near future.
You can find them at the following Webs due to the generosity of Pedro
EB4DKA and Rodolfo EA4CAX:
http://eb4dka.laserenadigital.com (also www.eb4dka.tk ). This Web is
devoted to ham satellites and Pedro has an impressive collection of
photos, videos and interesting articles. He is an authority working in
portable conditions.
http://personales.ya.com/ea4cax/ Rodolfo is specialized in LEO and
Geostationary meteorological satellites.
O hope you enjoy this articles devoted to promote the amateur satellites.

(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.

(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.

Call For European CubeSats on the Vega Maiden Flight
The European Space Agency (ESA) Education Office has the pleasure in
issuing a Call For CubeSat Proposals to universities in ESA Member
and Cooperating States to participate as an educational payload on
the Maiden Flight of the Vega Launcher.
The ESA Education Office recognises the growing importance of CubeSat
projects as a key tool in providing university students with a valuable
hands-on practical education across all space engineering disciplines
from end-to-end through the complete space project lifecycle.
The launch opportunity on the Vega Maiden Flight is offered free of
charge for up to 6 CubeSats, with an additional 2 backup CubeSats on
stand-by.
Proposals are solicited from interested universities with CubeSat
projects of sufficient maturity level to be able to meet the Vega
Maiden Flight schedule (current target launch date of December 2008).
Proposals (max. 15 pages) must be submitted via e-mail to:
education(a)esa.int in PDF or MS Word format by the deadline
of 17 March 2008.
Proposals will be evaluated by the ESA Selection Board and the
selected CubeSats will be announced on the ESA Education web portal
by 15 April 2008.
Details can be found on-line at:

OSCAR-11 Copied But Signal Becomes Intermittent
OSCAR-11 was heard from 22 January to 01 February and from 11 February
to 15 February. Signals have been very variable in strength sometimes
very strong, sometimes undetectable, even at high elevations. Low signal
strength was particularly noticeable at AOS and LOS, and also towards
the end of the transmission periods. OSCAR-11 is expected to switch
back on under control of its on-board timer around 07 March.
There should be a short period of transmissions before permanent eclipses
start in mid March. After March it is unlikely that the satellite will
support any sustained period of operation, and will only transmit for a
short time, possibly less than a single orbit, every 21 days.
Many thanks to Peter ZL3TC, Chris M0DQO, Tobias DG3LV, Edward BX1AD,

(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

(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-Europe Amateur Radio Antennas Reach Orbit
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 041.01

To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-041.01
When the Shuttle Atlantis launched on Thursday, February 8 the
European Space Agency's Columbus module was on its way for
delivery at the International Space Station. The amateur radio
antennas mounted on the exterior open a new phase of amateur
radio in space. While it will take several months to complete
the ham shack aboard the Columbus module the first step has
been taken.
Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, ARISS International Chairman, and AMSAT-NA
V.P. for Human Spaceflight Programs was quite pleased at this
milestone and told the team, "I would like to extend my congrat-
ulations to the ARISS-Europe team on today's successful launch
of our newest on-orbit hardware delivery, the additional ARISS
antennas!"
The ARISS-Europe team have been working hard and diligently for
over 5 years to realize this outstanding milestone. The team
faced numerous challenges, including some very severe environmental
testing to get approval to fly these antenna systems.
Noting the international effort for this success, Frank continued,
"I would like to thank Gaston Bertels, ON4WF for his outstanding
leadership on this project and Dr. Pawel Kabacik at the Wroclaw
University of Technology in Poland for his efforts in the antenna
design and testing. And I would like to extend my sincere gratitude
to all those who contributed to this project through their volunteer
efforts, financial contributions and/or in-kind contributions.
YOU helped us develop, test and fly these antennas."

Drew KO4MA, AMSAT-NA VP Operations noted this week, "The AO-51
committee has completed a schedule for February. We will continue
the V/US repeater mode that began on January 25th for all of
February, except on Tuesdays through Thursdays when we will switch
to L/US.
This pattern will repeat every week in February except that the mode
switch from V/US to L/US on Tuesday the 12th will be delayed until
Wednesday the 13th to accommodate a School Roundup event at Two
Rivers School in North Bend, Washington.
The S-band downlink may be temporarily suspended for WOD telemetry
download without notice. Generally this will only be for one pass
per day.

In marking the 2nd anniversary of the deployment of SuitSat-1
/Radioskaf/AO-54 from the ISS this week, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO,
ARISS International Chairman, and AMSAT-NA V.P. for Human Space-
flight Programs said, "I want to take this opportunity to thank
all the volunteers around the world that supported the SuitSat-1
development, deployment, public outreach and ground station
reception." Frank said the SuitSat certificates have been mailed
as of this past week.
2008 brings new opportunities to you, the hams interested in ARISS,
which includes:
+ Plans to commemorate the 25th anniversary of human spaceflight
ham radio operation---the flight of Owen Garriott, W5LFL on the
space shuttle Columbia, STS-9 in 1983.
+ A team of dedicated amateur radio operators is working to bring
SuitSat-2 to reality. At this point in time, it is not clear
when it will be deployed, but we are working feverishly to have
it ready for deployment before the end of the year.
+ We expect to have significant ARISS crew amateur radio partici-
pation starting in the October 2008 timeframe with the launch
of the Expedition 18 crew and Soyuz taxi flight.
Frank wraps up with, "I thank all of you for your interest in ARISS.
This program is truly inspirational for students, the ham radio
community, and the communities surrounding the schools that have
been touched by the 334 (to date) school contacts conducted since
December 2001."

BID: $ANS-041.04
Stefan, VE4NSA has finished the 1st prototype of an AO-51 cardboard
model design and would like to give a few dedicated individuals the
opportunity to actually build the model and help him with the final
design and the necessary instructions.
Stefan notes, "At this stage I will need individuals that have built
cardboard models (ships, airplanes, rockets etc.) before and don't
need detailed instructions but know the tools that are required to
assemble such a model."
Pictures of the current prototype can be seen at:
http://www.msig.ca/model.html
It is still a work in progress and hopefully will end up as a
product that AMSAT can offer for a donation. I designed the model
in a 1:1 scale but for the purpose of this project it has been
reduced to 75% size. This will allow builders to print it on regular
size photo paper and still have a beautiful model for display in
the shack, school projects, or amateur radio presentations.
Building the model will require time, patience and a color printer
since the model is distributed as pdf files. This form of distribution
will save paper and will allow you to print it as many times as you
need.
As mentioned above, Stefan is looking for up to five test builders
(with experience) that are willing and able to finish the model in
four to five weeks. It is not a two hour project and dedication to
detail and exact cutting and gluing is required. Those that help and
provide him with updates on their progress and final feedback will get
the final distribution files as well as the model files in a 1:1
scale.
Send Stefan an email <callsign>@amsat.org if you are interested!

AMSAT V.P. Engineering Bob McGwier, N4HY
Some of the above are board members. Additionally, board members
Lou McFadin, W5DID and Barry Baines, WD4ASW will be in attendance.
Barry Baines is our new Eagle/Intelsat project manager.
AMSAT has been granted prominent times and rooms for presentations.
AMSAT is bringing the operational SDX and will soon thereafter put
an SDX based linear transponder on the air covering much of the
state of Florida and in a prominent place in Maryland. Additionally,
one of the SDX will be in use in Europe thanks to a generous offer
and help from Viktor Kudielka.
Taking advantage of the occasion, AMSAT will hold engineering planning
meetings in Orlando this weekend for engineering management. This was
decided because so many of these people were going to be in attendance
anyway.

BID: $ANS-041.06
Toyo Komatsu, JA0CQP provided an update on behalf of JARL in
regards to the status of the FO-29 satellite. JARL is the
agency responsible for FO-29 operation.
While command and control and some transponder operation has
been recovered over Japan, JARL notes at this time FO-29 is not
in condition to offer worldwide service with control stations
around the world.
The satellites power budget is a key issue. Although power from
the solar cells is just adequate for operation, the inner impedance
of the Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries is increasing. They cannot
support operation of the transmitter approximately 10 minutes after
entering eclipse.
The PCU (Power Control Unit) has failed and the satellite's trans-
mitter does not automatically recover, requiring intervention by
the ground control station in Tokyo.
JARL will continue to monitor the situation aboard FO-29 and preserve
its functionality for as many as users around the world as possible.
This situation may continue for up to 2 years until FO-29 enters a
no-eclipse period in 2010.

1. ARISS School Contacts - Status
Due to crew schedules onboard the ISS, no ARISS contacts are
planned at this time. The ARISS team expects contacts to resume
once STS-122 launches in early February.
2. Glenden State School Receives Award for ARISS Contact
An ARISS contact took place between Glenden State School in
Queensland, Australia and Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, on April 4,
2007. On January 26, 2008 the school was presented with an
Australia Day Award in recognition of the contact. The mayor
who bestowed the award noted that the contact was a very unique
educational outreach activity in which the community became
involved. ARISS member Shane Lynd, VK4KHZ, submitted an article
covering this news to the Wireless Institute of Australia. The
story and photos have been posted under News on the ARISS Website.
See: http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm

SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.

(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.
