SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-283.01 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.

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 reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor(a)amsat.org *************************************************************** *** 2008 AMSAT Space Symposium and Annual General Meeting *** *** October 24-26 in Atlanta, Georgia *** *** http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2008/index.php *** *************************************************************** In this edition: * AMSAT Symposium Presentations Posted * ARISS Confirms Amateur Radio Hardware Deliveries * Richard Garriott Operations Call for Support * Call For AMSAT Journal Articles * AMSAT-Italy Announces Joint VERTA-1 Satellite Project With AMSAT-UK * Satellite Shorts From All Over * ARISS Status Report for the Week of September 22, 2008 SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-272.01 AMSAT Symposium Presentations Posted AMSAT News Service Bulletin 272.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. September 28, 2008 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-272.01 The list of presentations for the 2008 AMSAT Symposium Oct 24-26 is now posted on the AMSAT web site. There is a link on the front page and also on the Symposium information page. We have a great line up of speakers, so make your plans to attend the Symposium in Atlanta. The AMSAT board meeting Oct 23-24 preceeds the Symposium at the same hotel. Please make your reservations soon and join us to get the latest news and information about the organization, plans for future satellites and technical information. Follow this link for the latest Symposium information: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2008/index.php We are about to lose our room block at the Buckhead Doubletree in Atlanta. If you are planning to attend the 2008 AMSAT Symposium, you need to make your room reservations ASAP. Their direct phone number is 404-231-1234. The room rate is $125 per night and the Group Code is ASG. [ANS thanks the 2008 Symposium Committee for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-272.02 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. [ANS thanks ARISS International Chairman Frank Bauer, KA3HDO for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-272.03 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.

September 21, 2008 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-265.01 South African SumbandilaSat Launch Likely By Year-End 2008 ITAR-TASS published a news item stating that the first South African satellite Sumbandila "is likely to be launched into orbit along with a Russian spacecraft Meteor-M at the end of 2008, said the head of the Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos), Anatoly Perminov. "We are currently working toward adapting this cluster of satellite launch with the spacecraft Meteor-M, which will be launched this year." Perminov added that "in the near future to meet with experts from South Africa, perhaps even with the head of the South African Space Agency, to discuss the matter." According to Roscosmos, the South African side is ready to launch its first spacecraft to the new Russian launch vehicle Soyuz-2 ". ITAR-TASS said that in return for launch services Russia will have the opportunity to place on the territory of South Africa a tracking station to receive f telemetry from upper stages of launch vehicles. [Editor Note:] AMSAT South Africa has designed and built a control system to facilitate the following operations: + V/U voice transponder with an uplink in the 2 meter band and a downlink in the 70cm band. + A parrot repeater (voice digipeater) + A voice beacon [ANS thanks ITAR-TASS for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-265.02 Richard Garriott W5KWQ ISS Operations Will Include SSTV AMSAT News Service Bulletin 265.02 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. September 21, 2008 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-265.02 Richard Garriott W5KWQ ISS Operations Will Include SSTV September 18, 2008 Silver Spring, Maryland Richard Garriott, W5KWQ, to communicate with Students and Ham Radio Operators World-wide through the Amateur Radio Station on-board the International Space Station (ISS) Through multiple agreements with NASA, the Russian Space Agency, RSC Energia, Space Adventures Ltd, and ARISS (Amateur Radio on the Inter- national Space Station), Richard Garriott will fly to ISS and will communicate with students, ham radio operators, friends, and family world-wide using the ARISS amateur radio station on-board the ISS. Richard Garriott, with the amateur radio callsign, W5KWQ is the sixth private citizen to be flown by the Russian space agency to the ISS. A legendary video game programmer and designer, Garriott will be travel- ing to orbit this October and will speak with hundreds of students while thousands more listen in during a series of ten-minute ham radio contacts. His on-orbit stay on Soyuz and ISS is planned for October 12 through 22, 2008. The locales for the worldwide student contacts include eight Challenger Learning Centers in the U.S., the Austin Liberal Arts and Sciences Academy in Austin, Texas, the Pinehurst School in Ashland, Oregon, the Budbrooke School in the U.K., and the National Space Challenge in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Garriott also plans to have random chats with scouts world-wide as part of the amateur radio "Jamboree on the Air" which is planned for October 18 and 19. "An important aspect of Richard Garriott's mission is to encourage students' interest in science and technology through the amateur radio contacts," said Rosalie White, ARISS International Secretary-Treasurer and ARISS Program Manager for ARRL (American Radio Relay League). "ARISS team members from all over the world volunteer their time every day so that students receive opportunities that we hope will cause them to study harder and learn more about any educational subject." The connection from the ISS to individual student locations will be established through an amateur radio station set up directly at the school or through the ARISS network of worldwide amateur radio ground stations utilized to link Garriott directly with students. The amateur radio system works similar to the way mission control centers in the United States and Russia talk to their space explorers. To date, the ARISS international working group volunteer team has conducted over 360 school contacts with crew members using ham radio on the ISS. The team has also set up radio contacts for family members of space explorers via ham radio. And have enabled countless contacts between the ISS crew members and hams on the ground. All previous Space Adventures private citizens who have flown to ISS have used the ARISS equipment to talk to school students, ham radio operators and friends and family. As part of Richard Garriott's science investigations, he will be taking highdefinition photographs of many parts of the Earth and comparing them to photos taken on previous space missions. In con- junction with his Earth science investigation, Mr. Garriott is flying special amateur radio electronics that will enable him to send and receive low resolution images from space, comparable to cell phone images. Through this ham radio system, called Slow-Scan Television (SSTV), Garriott will beam down images of the Earth to schools and ham radio operators on the ground so that they can actively participate in his mission. Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, ARISS International Chairman and AMSAT Vice President for Human Spaceflight Programs, states: "The ARISS team is quite excited about Richard's flight. He is very interested in bringing the wonders of space to those of us on Earth and he sees amateur radio as a great mechanism to make that happen. Through his school and scout voice contacts, his SSTV image downlinks and his communications with the world-wide amateur radio community, we see his mission as being "action packed" from an amateur radio perspective." Bauer continues, "What is extra special is that Richard Garriott's flight coincides almost 25 years from when his father, Owen Garriott, made history as the first ham radio operator to communicate with radio amateurs from space on the STS-9 Space Shuttle mission." Owen Garriott's call sign is W5LFL. Richard also hopes to link up with his father via amateur radio during his flight. Currently, Mr. Garriott is finishing his final spaceflight preparations at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre (GCTC) located in Star City, Russia. His launch date is scheduled for October 12, 2008, with ISS docking planned for October 14 and undocking planned for October 22. Mr. Garriott was trained thoroughly to be a member of the Soyuz TMA-13/ 17S crew. Since its first flight with Owen Garriott, in November 1983, Ham Radio has flown on more than two-dozen space shuttle missions, on the Mir Space Station and on the ISS. ARISS is the first and longest continuous operating educational outreach program to fly on the ISS. ARISS is an internationally-based working group, sponsored by the national amateur radio organizations and the international AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) organizations from each country as well as the ISS space agency partners. In the United States, ARISS is sponsored by the Ameri- can Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation- North America (AMSAT-NA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Admin- istration (NASA). NASA's education office provides support to ARISS and guidance in the development of ARISS educational objectives. The primary purpose of ARISS is to allow students engaged in a science and technology curriculum to speak with an astronaut orbiting the Earth on the International Space Station. Using amateur radio, students ask questions about life in space or other space-related topics. Students fully participate in the ARISS contact by helping set up an amateur radio ground station at the school and then using that station to talk directly with the on-board crew member. Prep- aration for the experience motivates the children to learn about radio waves, space technology, science, geography and the space environment. In many cases, the students help write press releases and give presentations on the contact to their fellow students and to the local community. Through this hands-on experience, students are engaged and educated in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and are inspired to pursue STEM-related careers.

September 21, 2008 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-258.03 Increased Solar Illumination Allows AO-16 Operations to Continue AO-16 Command Station, Mark N8MH commanded AO-16 ON and restored it to voice mode on September 15. Mark commented, "At the time of my message we are up to 30 hours of continuous uptime, which is a 'good thing.' Our predictions regarding sustained activities seem to be right on the mark. Recording your observations about AO-16 at http://oscar.dcarr.org/ has been, and will continue to be, very helpful to us." It is possible that the transmitter will turn OFF; this requires some commanding to get it running again, which means a pass over the Eastern US coast is required for a change in status. The command team is hoping that the bird will remain ON more often than OFF for the next several weeks. Illumination projects (and subsequent temperature predictions) suggest that AO-16 might be able to sustain operations until early November. So, if you want some AO-16 contacts, you had better get them before then. After November 2008, it may be a long, long, time before the orbit pro- vides favorable temperatures for the bird to remain operational for more than a few seconds or minutes at a time.

September 21, 2008 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-265.04 Flight 4 of Falcon 1 As mentioned in my update last month, we do expect to conduct a launch countdown in late September - as scheduled. Having said that, it is still possible that we encounter an issue that needs to be investigated, which would delay launch until the next available window in late October. If preparations go smoothly, we will conduct a static fire on Saturday and launch sometime between Tuesday and Thursday (California time). The SpaceX team worked hard to make this launch window, but we also took the time to review data from Flight 3 in detail. In addition to us reviewing the data, we had several outside experts check the data and conclusions. No flight critical problems were found apart from the thrust transient issue. Flight 5 production is well underway with an expected January completion date, Flight 6 parts are on order and Flight 7 production will begin early next year. We are now in steady state production of Falcon 1 at a rate of one vehicle every four months, which we will probably step up to one vehicle every two to three months in 2010. --Elon-- [ANS thanks Lee, KU4OS for the above information] EX/ SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-265.05 Welcome Aboard AMSAT-Indonesia AMSAT News Service Bulletin 265.05 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
