(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.

NASA Makes Saturn Radio Transmission Recording Available
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 196.03
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
July 15, 2007
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-196.03
NASA has made available a recording from the Cassini spacecraft of
Saturn's intense radio emissions called Saturn kilometric radiation.
The Cassini spacecraft began detecting these radio emissions in April
2002, when Cassini was 374 million kilometers (234 million miles) from
the planet, using the Cassini radio and plasma wave science instrument,
which provided the first high resolution observations of these emissions,
showing an amazing array of variations in frequency and time.
The complex radio spectrum with rising and falling tones, is very
similar to Earth's auroral radio emissions. These structures indicate
that there are numerous small radio sources moving along magnetic field
lines threading the auroral region.
For additional information and to hear the recording visit:

AMSAT members Allen Katz, K2UYH and Marc Franco, N2UO have
designed a VHF, high-efficiency, class-E, RF power amplifier
with a DC to RF efficiency of 86.8%. Their innovative
design is based on silicon carbide (SiC) metal-semiconductor
field effect transistors, or MESFETs.
The design was presented in a paper at the IEEE International
Microwave Symposium in Hawaii. It is now available on-line:
http://www.cree.com/products/wireless_docs.htm titled
"Class-E Silicon Carbide VHF Power Amplifier" (June 5, 2007)
The final amplifier efficiency was measured at around 86 to 88%
with this number holding quite well at almost any drain voltage
or output power. This type of amplifier is under consideration
for the envelope elimination and restoration linear amplifier
planned for the AMSAT Eagle satellite.

1. School Contacts
Maples Collegiate in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada had an ARISS
contact on Thursday, July 12. The school would like the ARISS
contact to be part of the Win-Cube Project in Manitoba. Win-Cube
is an innovative science and engineering project that includes
students from 10 high schools in Manitoba who will participate
in the design, construction, launch, and communication with a
pico-satellite in low earth orbit. ARISS will provide students
involved in the Win-Cube project with a real application of
classroom learning with experiences like the ISS orbital elements
and its relation to the availability of ground to orbit commu-
nication. Students with their amateur radio licenses performed
an active role in establishing and maintaining communication
with the ISS.
Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Florida has
been slated for an ARISS contact on Tuesday, July 17 via the
telebridge station W6SRJ in California. The hospital plans on
involving children, who have been hospitalized long term,
with this contact. It will showcase the medical advancements
made through space science, available due to NASA and its research.
An ARISS team member will give a presentation to the children
on Amateur Radio on the International Space Station and an astronaut
will also be invited to speak to the children. Lithographs will
be distributed and children will design posters in anticipation
of the contact.
2. Challenger Learning Center Experiences Successful ARISS Contact
On Saturday, July 7, children visiting the Challenger Learning
Center of Alaska in Kenai experienced an ARISS contact. Clay
Anderson, KD5PLA, answered 12 questions posed to him by the
participating students and a few more from the audience. A crowd
of approximately 50 people was expected to attend.
3. ARISS TIM
An ARISS Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) was held the week of
July 9-13, in Houston. Topics of discussion included ARISS radio
systems, SuitSat-2, and education issues.
4. Amateur Radio Newsline Article on ARISS Member
Amateur Radio Newsline posted a story about ARISS member Tony

With the lack of interference free Microwave Allocations very much
on everyone's mind the presentation by the RSGB Microwave Manager
Murray Niman G6JYB on "The Future of Amateur Satellite Spectrum"
will be received with great interest. The presentation will summarise
both the challenges and opportunities for Amateur Satellite spectrum
and future satellite designers from 50 MHz to beyond 50 GHz.
The RSGB GB4FUN van will be present throughout the event to allow
visitors to work the satellites and an RSGB bookstall will be
available on Saturday morning.
On Friday there will be a special "Beginners Workshop" to show
newcomers how to use the many Amateur Satellites that are available.
The event is open to all Amateurs and SWL's. Either day passes or
full packages comprising overnight accommodation and meals at the
University are available. An online booking service is available
for PayPal, Visa and Master Card payments.

(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.

BID: $ANS-189.03
I AM LOOKING FOR AN AMSAT MEMBER to
help set up and operate a ground station
at the AMSAT Lab in Pocomoke City, Md. The
task is to receive simple telemetry and to
participate in the radio net covering one
or both high-altitude balloon missions
carrying Amateur Radio on Tuesday, July 24
and on Wednesday, July 25.
For lots of background information about the
SimSat-3A and SimSat-3B flights please go to
The SimSat Announcement Page at:
http://www.patkilroy.com/simsat
See also the complete Task List for operators
to participate either from home or at our
launch site on the eastern shore.
What do you think?
A ground station at the AMSAT Lab supporting
a SimSat flight would provide good, positive
visibility to AMSAT.
Please give me a call and I'd be glad to
explain what can be done at the lab, however
simple. The event will be quite educational.
Could be quite a lot of fun too!

ARISS Status Report for the week of July 6, 2007
1. Upcoming School Contact
The Challenger Learning Center of Alaska in Kenai, Alaska has
been scheduled for an ARISS contact on Saturday, July 7. The
center engages Elementary and Middle school students in space
exploration, science, math and technology. Home schooled children
will also be invited to participate in the contact and there
is a possibility of reaching rural students through a School
Access video conference. Workshops are planned prior to the
contact to introduce children to the ISS, its mission and the
crew's responsibilities. Students will participate in poster
and essay competitions related to space exploration. Media
will be notified and coverage is expected on both a local
and national level.
2. Astronaut Training Status
Expedition 17 backup crew members Nicole Stott, KE5GJN, and
Tim Kopra, KE5LUT, participated in an ARISS training session on
Wednesday, June 27. Using a Kenwood D700, the astronauts answered
questions posed to them by the trainers, simulating a school
contact aboard the ISS and allowing them to familiarize themselves
with the operation of the radio system.
3. ARRL QST Articles
The American Radio Relay League's July QST included several news
items about the ARISS program:
+ An "In Brief" note about the ARRL Foundation granting an
additional $2000 toward the cost of constructing and installing
antennas on the new Columbus ISS module (page 12).
+ Two photos and a half column of print space on Space Day at the
National Air and Space Museum (page 13).
+ Author Wayne Yoshida's technical article on microwave radio (Wayne
has written a number of QST items over the years) contained a
footnote stating that the most memorable ham radio experience of
his life was working in the press room as a volunteer at Johnson
Space Center during the 1983 Owen Garriott flight aboard STS-9/
Spacelab-1 where Owen made the first-ever ham radio contacts
from space (page 30).
+ A half page special on Bill McArthur's presentation at the ARRL
annual Donor Reception (page 43).
+ Another 1/4 page on Bill McArthur meeting and greeting hams who
came to ARRL's booths during the Dayton Hamvention held on May 18-20
(page 43-44).
4. ARRL Article on Sunita Williams
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) ran a web story on Sunita
Williams, KD5PLB, who made 33 ARISS contacts while on board the ISS.

(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.

scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) contact on Saturday, July 7 at 19:43 UTC. The center engages
Elementary and Middle school students in space exploration, science,
math and technology. Home schooled children will also be invited to
participate in the contact and there is a possibility of reaching rural
students through a School Access video conference. Workshops are
planned prior to the contact to introduce children to the ISS, its
mission and the crew’s workload. Students will participate in poster and
essay competitions related to space exploration. Media will be notified
and coverage is expected on both a local and national level.
2. Amateur Radio Contact on Youth Day
To celebrate Youth Day on Saturday, June 16, students in South Africa
spoke with astronaut Bill McArthur, KC5ACR, via amateur radio. Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) member Hans van de
Groenendaal, ZS6AKV, arranged the contact with a few undergraduates and
other students from a high school radio club who had just earned their
ham licenses a few days earlier. The headmaster was pleased with the
outcome and plans to promote Amateur Radio as a major support subject at
the school.

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 Satellite Integration for Planned Autumn Launch

BID: $ANS-175.02
Wouter Jan Ubbels, PE4WJ, Delfi-C3's project manager of electronic
systems and communications at the Delft University of Technology
in the Netherlands reports that their satellite is being integrated
and tested in preparation for launch in September or October, 2007.
The Delfi team has posted photos of the satellite integration work
at: http://www.delfic3.nl/photoblog/.
Delfi-C3 is a 3-unit CubeSat carrying redundant radio transceivers,
connected to the antenna system by a hybrid combiner. Both trans-
ceivers consist of a UHF front end, a command receiver, linear IF,
telemetry generator and the final stages capable of 400mW RF power.
Delfi-C3 contains no batteries because it's primary mission is to
perform a solar cell and sun sensor experiment so the spacecraft will
only be active when in sunlight.
The first three months of the mission will perform the science
mission, in which the spacecraft will be transmitting 1200 bit/s
AX.25 telemetry on the primary or backup VHF downlink. (See
http://www.delfic3.nl for frequency information.) Telemetry will be
transmitted once per second.
A Java application will be available for download from the website
to display telemetry in real time, and upload it to Delfi's central
server in Delft. A soundcard application in Java is planned to be
available to decode the BPSK signal. The MixW software package will
also be compatible with the telemetry signal.
After three months, the linear transponder will be activated, with a
40kHz bandwidth. In transponder mode, a CW beacon will be active
instead of BPSK telemetry. It will transmit a message saying "hi hi
de delfi-c3 delfi-c3". Since Delfi-C3 will transmit with only 400mW
of downlink power, earth stations will need to prepare a good receive
system.
TLE's will be anounced on the website (http://www.delfic3.nl) once
they are available. Preliminary parameters of the orbit are:
+ altitude: 630km circular
+ inclination: 97.91 degrees
+ sun-synchronous

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.
