SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launch date: 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.

AMSAT Receives CFC Certification for 2008
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 174.01
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
June 22, 2008
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-174.01
On June 13, 2008 The Office of Combined Federal Campaign Operations
issued the final draft of the listings for independent organizations that
have been approved for participation in the 2008 CFC. The Radio Amateur
Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) was again included in the approvals.
The CFC, or Combined Federal Campaign, is the U.S. Government equivalent
Of the United Way in the private sector. The campaign affords all US
Government employees the opportunity to make donations from their regular
paychecks to CFC approved Charities.
AMSAT has again successfully applied to CFC for that status and is grate-
ful for the approval. This stamp of approval means that AMSAT has met the
strict standards set by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
assuring donors that AMSAT's programs of work and financial operational
standards meet the CFC requirements.
Those AMSAT supporters who wish to make payroll contributions should
select the Radio Amateur satellite Corporation (AMSAT) during their
campaign this coming fall. The AMSAT CFC Charity number is 10158. Payroll
deduction is a simple, convenient way to support AMSAT.

Santa Clara University students invite amateur radio operators
worldwide to participate with them by receiving beacon signals
from PreSat and NanoSail-D, two pioneering cubesat missions that
will launch from the Reagan Test Site (Omelek Island, Kwajalein
Atoll, Republic of Marshall Islands) on June 23, 2008 at about
7:00 pm PDT.
Both spacecraft will go into Low Earth Orbit as secondary payloads
aboard a SpaceX Falcon-1 launch vehicle into a 685x330 km, 9 degree
inclination orbit.
PreSat is a 10 x 10 x 30 cm. spacecraft, operating at 437.318 MHz
FM, will send an AX.25 packet every 5 seconds. The mission will
evaluate the performance of a generic biofluidic sample management
and handling system for future advanced in situ spaceborne biology
experiments.
NanoSail-D is a 10 x 10x 30 cm. spacecraft, operating at 437.269 MHz
FM, sending an AX.25 packet every 10 seconds, will deploy a solar
sail that also will be used as a drag sail to demonstrate orbital
debris mitigation technology.
Amateur radio operators are encouraged to submit received beacon
packets through the mission websites in order to receive a web-based
QSL card:

BID: $ANS-166.06
Drew KO4MA, AMSAT-NA Vice-President of Operations gave an update of
AO-16's on-going malfunctions and troubleshooting.
Drew reported, "AO-16 continues to spontaneously shut off. We suspect
it is a watchdog timer that is malfunctioning, and that it is tempera-
ture related." The resets on the satellite began shortly after AO-16
re-entered periods of eclipses after a long period of full sun.
Mark, N8MH, and Drew have, at various times, re-commanded the bird on.
It will stay on for anywhere from just a few seconds to a few minutes.
They also experimented with doing the reset operation automatically,
with not much success.
Drew summarizes, "The current plan is to wait a little bit until the
eclipses start getting shorter, the overall temperature of the satellite
rises some, and see if the frequency of the resets goes down enough to
make some sort of day-to-day operation feasible again."

(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.

lites by registering your copy of SatPC32.
A demo version may be downloaded from the author's web site:
http://www.dk1tb.de/indexeng.htm. Some users of the new SatPC32
v12.8 have experienced a few minor problems with this release and
Erich is investigating these reports.
Registered SatPC32 users may use their existing registration code
to activate the downloaded new version. New users are encouraged to
purchase a registration code from AMSAT-NA, AMSAT-DL, or AMSAT-UK.
The online store is down at the moment but you may purchase a regis-
tration code by calling Martha at the AMSAT office at 888-322-6728.
Version 12.8 will not be available on CD until the existing stock
of 12.7 CDs is depleted.
Here are the changes listed in the 12.8 "What's New" file:
+ The setup program has been updated to the the latest 32-bit Vista
compatible version of Installshield Express.
+ The CAT steering functions of SatPC32 have been expanded to now
include the ICOM IC-706MKIIG, IC-7000 and compatible radios.
+ Full duplex satellite operation with 2 separate radios for uplink
and downlink has been improved. Numerous devices can be combined,
e.g. the Yaesu semi-duplex transceivers with each other or with
Icom semi-duplex radios or single band radios or Icom radios with
each other.
+ The Vista compatibility has been improved.
+ SatPC32 now includes a simple text editor that can alternatively
be used besides Notepad to edit auxiliary files (data files,
i.e. Doppler.SQF).
+ Further improvements include operation of narrow FM mode of
the IC-910H. The program now shows the file date of the
selected Keplerian data file. CAT steering of the FT-736R
has been fixed.

"Now that FCAL is down, I went through all the emails sent with FCAL
data. I received data from Mike Ruppercht DK3WN, Armando Mercado
N8IGJ, Bent Bagger representting AMSAT-OZ, and Edward Chuang BX1AD."
Ivan continued, "All will receive an FCAL mission patch plus a mission
coffee mug. One surprise about the mission patch. These are STP
mission patches that have flown on the space shuttle when FCAL and
ANDE were released. I will include the letter of authentication that
indicates these patches flew in space. Thanks for all your help. Hope
to do it again soon."

+ Congratulations are in order for 10 year old Piyumi, VE4WPL
in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for making her first satellite
contact on AO-51. She used an Icom IC-W32A handheld at 5 watts
with an Arrow antenna to make the contact.
+ Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK represented AMSAT at the Yavapai Amateur
Radio Club (YARC) and Verde Valley Amateur Radio Club (VVARA)
joint hamfest on Saturday, 31 May 2008. He set up an AMSAT
table at the hamfest and provided on-air demonstrations using
the AO-51 satellite.
+ Allen, N5AFV was also active in promoting amateur radio satellite
activity on the weekend of May 31 - June 1. On May 31 Allen op-
erated via satellite from the second highest point in Texas at
the top of Enchanted Rock. June 1 gave Allen the opportunity
to operate using the Ten Ten International club call sign, W6OI
from 20th Annual Ten Ten Hill Country Picnic. QSL information
for both operations is to N5AFV with an SASE.
+ Richard, N2SPI managed the AMSAT Booth at the 2008 Rochester (NY)
Hamfest this weekend. He was also on the air with live satellite
demos. If you have an opportunity to promote AMSAT at a hamfest
near you contact Martha at AMSAT HQ for materials.
+ Martian weather data from the Canadian Space Agency's weather
station aboard the Mars Phoenix lander can be viewed on your
computer using tool available from http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/.
Mac OSX 10.4.3 (or higher), or Vista is required.
(Via UniverseToday.com).
+ Word has been received from VU2POP that AMSAT-India has completed
construction of the Hamsat-2 transponder built by one of their student
members. They are now working on flight plans for an orbit similar to
to VO-52 and hopefully higher if possible.

Although not totally amateur satellite related many AMSAT folks
still enjoy all aspects of space exploration so here are a couple
of fun things for you to enjoy, and perhaps involve young folks
also.
Send your name to the moon ...
NASA invites everyone to take advantage of the opportunity to send
your name to the Moon on board the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The
LRO mission site has a form to send your name, embedded into a compu-
ter chip, into orbit around the moon. The link to sign up is:
http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/index.php. More information about
the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission can be found at:
http://lunar.gsfc.nasa.gov/moonfacts.html.
Send your name into solar orbit ...
Kepler is NASA's first mission capable of detecting Earth-size and
smaller planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. Planned
to be launched from Kennedy Space Center in February 2009, the space-
craft will be launched into orbit around the Sun. When you submit your
name, you may also chose to provide a message of 500 words or less of
why you think the mission is important. Your will be stored on a DVD
and rocketed into space on board the Kepler spacecraft. The link to
sign up is at: http://namesinspace.seti.org/
The deadline to submit your name for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
mission is June 27, 2008; the deadline to submit your name for the
Keppler Mission is November 1, 2008.

(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.

Delfi-C3 DO-64 Tests Linear Transponder

BID: $ANS-145.02
During the past week the Delfi-C3 satellite DO-64 has continued
its science mission. But, during a pass over the Delfi-C3 ground
station on May 15 the amateur band linear transponder was success-
fully tested and activated for a short time. The CW beacon was
received well and subsequently good signals using SSB were received.
An audio file of the test can be found at:
http://www.delfic3.nl/photoblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/pe4wj_transponder
_test.mp3
The Delfi ground control team is currently performing tests while
the spacecraft is over the Netherlands to address the downlink drop-
out issue. These tests may require several passes over the ground
controllers so the satellite may still experience downlink dropouts
over the coming days.
The current operating mode of Delfi can be found on its webpage at:
http://www.delfic3.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=12

While in science mode Defli has continued operation on a downlink of
145.930 MHz, transmitting 1200 Baud BPSK AX.25 telemetry data. Reminder:
Delfi-C3 does not have a battery on-board and will therefore only be
active in sunlight. The latest keplerian elements for Delfi can also
be found on the operations web page.
The Delfi team reported, "Up to now, we have received over 130000
AX.25 frames from all over the world, thank you very much for your
efforts and observations so far!"

Hiroki Ashida, JQ1YCZ reported this week that the Tokyo Institute of
Technology enabled continuous packet telemetry on their cubesat,
Cute1.7 + APD II. This was to support a 12 hour experiment of the
Avalanche Photo Diode APD) as a radiation monitor of low-energy
(E > 10 keV) particles trapped in low Earth orbit.
Prior to the activation of this experiment packet telemetry had
only been activated when the Cute1.7 + APD II cubesat was within
range of the Japanese ground control station.
The FM packets were received on 437.475MHz from amateur radio station
around the world. Packet formats and additional satellite information
can be found at:

Mark Hammond, N8MH, AO-16 Command Station gave an update of testing on
the AO-16 satellite. Mark commented, "Indeed, over the last several
days you are likely to have found AO-16 silent. There appears to be
something in the spacecraft shutting down the transmitter after a
short, random period of time. Current speculation on the problem in-
cludes a temperature issue that has reared its ugly head now that the
eclipse periods are increasing and the spacecraft internal temperatures
are decreasing. It may be a hardware timer. It does not appear to be
a battery issue."
The ground control station will manually turn the satellite ON and
then configure it for voice operations. This is a manual process
and command stations are limited to the East coast of the US. As
schedules permit, we'll try to turn it ON; for now, it's the best
we can do. Time will tell if the current situation will stay the
same, improve, or get worse.

A report has been received via Michael Chen, BD5RV/4 that a new
amateur radio satellite to be launched by China, CAS-1 has completed
its IARU frequency coordination and the hardware has been finished.
The payload is planned to include a CW Telemetry Beacon, Linear Trans-
ponder, FM repeater and a Digital Store-forward Transponder. The oper-
ations will use 70cms downlinks and 2 meter uplinks at 500mW output
power. The satellite is expected to have a mass of 30kgs and be
launched from China into a sun syncronous orbit with a 670km apogee.
The CAS-1 team is waiting for another payload to be finished before
launch which at this point is predicted to happen in early 2009.

The Russian Federal Space Agency announced the successful launch of
the Yubileiny, a 45 kg small satellite, on May 23 from the Plesetsk
Launching Site into low earth orbit.
The motive for development of Yubileiny small spacecraft was the 50th
anniversary of the first space satellite. One mission goal includes
flight qaulification of the new space systems and equipment. Radio
amateur operators all over the world will be able to receive the tele-
metry downlink utilizing RS-style CW telemetry 435.315 MHz using the
callsign RS30.
The satellite transmits a cyclic series of messages lasting for 4
minutes including a call signal and TM-data (10 seconds); a voice
message (1 minute); a pause (50 seconds); the first artificial
satellite imitated signals (10 seconds); an image (1 minute);
with a final pause (50 seconds).
Aerospace Vehicle Laboratory SCC is the primary the satellite con-
trol. A similar Satellite Control Center has been established at the
Siberian State Aerospace University in Krasnoyarsk to allow students
and research engineers can receive and analyze the telemetry in coop-
eration with the specialists at JSC Academician M.F. Reshetnev Infor-
mation Satellite Systems center.
