DATE August 25, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-237.01 ARISS-EU update on the ISS HamVideo How a DATV transmitter on S-band is being added to the ARISS equipment onboard the International Space Station has been related in an announcement recently circulated and available at http://www.ariss-eu.org/HamVideo.pdf The ARISS Ham Video transmitter is presently onboard Columbus. The transmitter was delivered by Japanese cargo spacecraft HTV-4, which launched August 4 and docked 5 days later. ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano KF5KDP / IR0ISS reported that the bags are stored in Columbus. There are two bags: one for the transmitter, the other for the power, camera and antenna cables. Installation will be done by US astronaut Michael Hopkins KF5LJG who has been trained for the commissioning of the Ham Video equipment. The commissioning is planned later in the year, possibly the end of October when there are favourable passes over Italy. Indeed, the tests transmissions for the commissioning of the onboard equipment will be received by the ground station of the “Centro di Geodesia Spaziale” of the Italian Space Agency, located in Matera, Southern Italy. We will report in due time on the commissioning procedure which will involve a series of tests to be performed during 3 or 4 ISS passes. Possibly, the Ham Video transmitter will transmit continuously between the commissioning steps offering amateur ground stations the opportunity to test and tune their receiving equipment. The transmissions will be performed in automatic mode, without requiring crew time. The camera, which runs on a battery, will not be used and the ground stations will receive a black image. Meanwhile, commissioning is being prepared steadily. The kick-off meeting took place November 2012 at ESTEC, the European Space Research and Technology Centre, located in Noordwijk the Netherlands. Detailed procedures are examined and finalized during weekly ESA/ARISS teleconferences. A preliminary EST (Experiment Sequence Test) is planned August 28-29. The test will involve the ARISS ground station IK1SLD, located in Casale Monferrato in Northern Italy. IK1SLD, which is an ARISS telebridge station often used for educational ARISS school contacts on VHF, has been upgraded for S- band reception. Ham Video manufacturer Kayser Italia has delivered a 1.2 meter dish, a down converter and precision tracking motors, which are part of the ESA funded equipment. For the EST, the station will receive a DATV signal from a local low power S-band test transmitter. The decoded signal will be webstreamed to the BATC server. The British Amateur Television Club offers ARISS free access to their server. ESA examiners will connect to the BATC server and evaluate the reception. Test transmissions at IK1SLD will cover the different frequencies and symbol rates available on the Ham Video transmitter. Web streaming will take advantage of the special software developed by Jean Pierre Courjaud, F6DZP. References are available in the HamVideo.pdf. When the Ham Video transmitter will become operational, it will be used for ARISS educational school contacts. Video will be for downlink only. Uplink will be VHF FM audio. The Ericsson transceiver onboard Columbus will be used for reception onboard. This cross band and double mode operation is called Ham TV. Ham Video is the name of the DATV transmitter.

While giving a chronology of the development of Amateur TV onboard the ISS he writes "Meanwhile a possibility opened for the installation of VHF/UHF antennas on Columbus. The Europena Space Agency wanted a VHF antenna for a specific payload and was interested in the manner ARISS antennas had been attached to handrails on the Russian service module. A similar system was adopted for Columbus and, at the same time, ESA accepted the installation of a dual band VHF/UHF antenna for ARISS. The antenna project was funded entirely by AMSAT-NA and volunteers who built the antennas for both the ESA experiment and for ARISS. The installation was done per EVA, 21 November 2009. Soon an Ericsson UHF transceiver, which had served in the early ARISS days, migrated from the REussian to the American segment of the Space Station and started Packet Radio operation." The magazine is available via subscription only. Visit their website www.atvquarterly.com for more information. [ANS thanks Amateur Television Quarterly for the above information] + Monitoring Times In September's "On the Ham Bands" column, Kirk A. Kleinschnit, NT0Z, writes "The Highs and Lows of Amateur Satellites". He cites AMSAT on numerous occasions in the article and includes a picture of Keith Baker, KB1SF, working AO-51. He references AMSAT as a source of information as well as describing AMSAT's efforts with the phase 3 birds, Oscar 10 and 13, our current cooperation with Universities and other entities and cites our website http://www.amsat.org. + CQ VHF The Summer edition of CQ VHF holds several articles related to satellite and EME. Of particular note are "Add ISS Packet Operation to Your Satellites Activity" by The AMSAT Journal Editor-in-Chief, Joanne Maenpaa, K9JKM. This article originally appeared in the proceedings of the 2012 AMSAT Symposium. In his "Satellites" column, Keith Pugh, W5IU, writes "Dayton, Ham- Com, Field Day, ARISS Update, and What's New for Working the Birds." Needless to say, the article covers a lot of territory and includes pictures of Tony AA2TX and Wendell W2BFJ, Barry WD4ASW, and Keith W5IU. + QST Check out pages 46-47 of the September QST for an article, "Decibels and dBm Demystified" written by AMSAT member and AMSAT Journal columnist Bob DeVarney, W1ICW. --------------------------------------------------------------------- New Booster: Japan space agency unveils new rocket Epsilon The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency on Tuesday unveiled its new solid-fuel rocket Epsilon before its launch with a scientific satellite next week. Epsilon, a three-stage rocket with 24.4 meter in length, 2.6 meters in diameter and 91 ton in weight, is to be launched from the state-run agency's Uchinoura Space Center in southwestern prefecture of Kagoshima. The rocket is a successor of the M-5 rocket that was retired in 2006 and is planned to carry a telescope named SPRINT-A, world's first space telescope for remote observation of planets. The agency originally scheduled to launch the rocket Thursday but postponed until next Tuesday due to wrong wiring in communication equipment.

"I set the radio to the ‘random’ contacts frequency, and without knowing what to expect, I put on the headphones. Physically, the International Space Station was still many kilometres away from the coastlines of Europe, but our horizon stretches out beneath us for thousands of kilometres and the various European ground stations could already see us. My ears were immediately overwhelmed by a cacophony of unidentifiable sounds and noises, voices, screeching and white noise. Then suddenly, a voice surfaced above the other sounds; it was a young man, in my mind barely more than a boy. He was calling the ISS American radio call sign (NA1SS) and repeating his own call sign. I was taken aback by the emotion that rose in me as I tried to reply to the call, using the Italian call sign (IR0ISS). But my excitement was nothing compared to the sheer astonishment and disbelief I heard in that voice, thousands of kilometres away. Speaking English with a beautiful Portuguese accent, the radio operator on the other side of the signal only managed to say a few words – “I don’t know what to say… This is a dream come true for me!” Luca finishes by writing, "Men, women, young and old, experts and complete beginners – they have all wrapped me in a warm blanket of friendship and gratitude, oblivious to the fact that I’m the one who should be thanking them for opening up the doors to an experience that began with that young man in Portugal, and that crossing space and time, reaches the heart of each and every amateur radio operator even before it reaches their ears."

[ANS thanks AMSAT Office for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ham Radio in Space: Ham Radio Payloads Preparing to Launch Two CubeSats carrying SSB/CW and FM voice transponders are scheduled to be launched into a 600 km orbit during the first half of next year. That news came during the QB50 Project presentation at the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium earlier this summer. The QB50 project team has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AMSAT-UK, AMSAT-Francophone and AMSAT-NL to enable two Amateur Radio payloads to fly on two yet-to-be-named "precursor" CubeSats in advance of the main mission, to deploy about 40 double satellites. The CubeSat launch allows for the testing of key satellite and payload components. In addition, the precursor mission allows for experimentation and validation of the QB50 operational concept. The Amateur Radio payloads will become the primary payload of the spacecraft once all QB50-related experimentation has been concluded. The AMSAT-F payload for one of the satellites will be an FM voice relay with VHF uplink and UHF downlink. It will also transmit FX25 telemetry at 9.6 kbit. The AMSAT-NL payload on the other precursor satellite will incorporate an SDR-based, linear V/U transponder core. It will provide a telemetry downlink at 1.2 kbit. The QB50 spacecraft generally will have downlinks in the 435-438 MHz Amateur Satellite Service allocation, although some are expected to use 2.4 GHz. Meanwhile, the Baltic nation of Lithuania is hoping that its first two satellites will be launched later this year from the International Space Station (ISS). The nanosatellites carrying Amateur Radio payloads could be among the CubeSats sent by payload handler NanoRacks LLC to the ISS on the SpaceX CRS-3 mission this November. The Kaunas University of Technology is developing LituanicaSAT-1, while the Lithuanian Space Association is working on LitSat-1. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the historic flight by Lithuanian pilots Steponas Darius and Stasys Gireenas in the Lituanica aircraft. On July 15, 1933, they took off from Floyd Bennett Field in New York and flew across the Atlantic, covering a distance of 6,411 kilometers in 37 hours and 11 minutes. Tragically they perished after crashing in Germany, just 650 kilometers from their destination of Kaunas, Lithuania.

Most of the satellites will carry amateur radio payloads and it should be the largest single deployment of amateur radio satellites since the ill-fated Dnepr launch of July 26, 2006. http://www.southgatearc.org/news/july2006/dnepr_failure.htm The launch had originally been planned for September 2012 but was postponed while the future of the Dnepr launch program was discussed. Among the satellites carrying payloads operating in amateur radio bands that may be on the November launch are: • UniSat-5 microsat which will deploy Eagle-1, Eagle-2, QB-Scout, estar-2, Wren and PUCP-SAT-1 which it turn should release a further satellite Pocket-PUCP • Delfi-n3Xt • Triton-1 • Triton-2 • GOMX-1 • FUNcube-1 • UWE-3 • CubeBug-2 • BRITE-PL1 • Humsat-D • CPUT ZAcube-1 • HinCube • BeakerSat • NEE-02 KRYSAOR (910 MHz) [ANS thanks Southgate ARN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The USA Lower 48 Worked all 488 Grids non-Award John Papay K8YSE, recently announced, on the AMSAT-BB, that he has just completed working all 488 grids in the Lower 48 states. John writes, "Some of the active grid chasers on the birds are aware that KA6SIP just gave me my last USA grid when he operated from CN72 in Oregon. And I thought it might be interesting to look at the stats and how one manages to work and confirm all 488 USA lower 48 States grids. "Satellite operators come and go and grids come and go with them. A grid might have a very active operator in it and then it is off the air when that person goes away for whatever reason. Interestingly, about half of the 488 grids that were worked were from those operating portable, not in the sense of using a radio with batteries, but in the traditional sense of operating away from their home station location. Once you have experienced being on the other end of a small pileup, you will want to do it again. Just ask W7LRD who tried it recently and is planning another trip." In his post John goes on to list operators who exited the comfort of their home station and put a grid on the air. John further reflects, "I started with satellites in June 2006 and only had 47USA grids by August 2008. From August 2008 till Jan 2009 I worked another 109. In 2009 199 were worked. 2010 was 76 and 2011 was 44. Only 4 new grids were worked in 2012 and 9 were snagged in 2013. Eight of those final 9 grids were handed out by Tom KA6SIP. He heard about the need and decided to make a grid expedition to put them on the air. He did 7 of them in one trip. Then Bob W7LRD went to the beach in CN77, operating away from home for the first time. That left CN72. Tom just got back from Hawaii and quickly made plans to camp out in CN72 and gave me the final grid on AO-7B, 20 August 2013 at 2332z. Then he put CN71 on the air on 22-23August, also a very rare grid square but one that I already had. Many others worked him there. "There is no award for working all 488 grids on satellites as there is for six meters (FFMA). The ARRL awards committee has looked at it and will implement it if someone on the Board of Directors brings it up for a vote and it passes. Hopefully that will happen soon. Having that type of award gives everyone something to work for. It promotes grid expeditions and interest in working through the satellites. If we all contact our ARRL Director, it might just happen. "There may be others who have already worked all 488 grids on satellites. K6YK might be one of them. I know there are several others who are getting close. It is not any easy thing to accomplish even if you operate every day. It is something you can work towards over the years. "I want to thank everyone that made satellite contacts with me that ultimately led to working all 488. Many went out of their way to put on a grid. Over half of the grids worked were from grid expeditions! If you haven't experienced operating away from home, please consider it. With new operators showing up on the birds every day, there is always a need for an uncommon grid. And you will have a lot of fun doing it! Just ask anyone on my list." John's original post, including the list of those who worked him portable, can be found in the bulletin board archives http://www.amsat.org/amsat/archive/amsat-bb/48hour/msg98283.html Congratulations on your accomplishment, John!

The recovery was achieved after one of the AMSAT-LU stations in coordination and in conjunction with Satellogic team, sent a command to reconfigure onboard software that turned off attitude control circuits feeding magnetorquers this last weekend . Telemetry text mode command taken before change can be seen at http://www.amsat.org.ar/images/cubebug130818.txt . Operation was done using RTL dongle, connected directly to antenna, using HDSDR recording software as IF mode only, that helped not to record big amount of data from Orbitron connected to DDE, also automatically compensating Doppler, see http://www.amsat.org.ar/images/cubebug130818.jpg which at top shows command sent and satellite response below. After reset, Cubebug-1 went to 'mission state', batteries showing adequate level of charge. Good reports were received from several amateurs from different parts of the globe. This activity was performed as part of the agreement of mutual collaboration that Satellogic & Amsat-LU signed in July 2013. The satellite transmits at 1200 bps AFSK, on 437.438 KHz, broadcasting packets every 30 seconds, signal is low requiring directional antenna and preamp for adequate reception. Cubebug-1 telemetry information can be found at http://1.cubebug.org/coms/telemetry It is hoped that the packet radio digipeater, that is onboard Cubebug-1, will be activated for amateur radio use after its primary mission objectives have been met.

In this edition: * HamTV Transmitter Launched to ISS * AMSAT.ORG Gets Make Over * Have You Received Your 2013 AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Ballot? * AMSAT Mentions and Articles of interest in the Press * Radio Scouting – ARISS Contact Reception Report * Radio Ham’s Leaky Spacesuit * Curiosity First Anniversary Event * ARISS News * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-216.01 ANS-216 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 216.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. DATE August 4, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-216.01 HamTV Transmitter Launched to ISS On Saturday, August 3 at 1948 UT the Japanese HTV-4 cargo vessel was successfully launched to the International Space Station (ISS). On- board was the HamTV transmitter and a number of CubeSats carrying amateur radio payloads. The Japanese space agency JAXA has announced details of four CubeSats on the launch. They will be deployed from the ISS by the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) between October 2013 and March 2014. The four CubeSats are: • PicoDragon a 1U CubeSat developed by Vietnam National Satellite Center(VNSC), University of Tokyo, IHI aerospace. CW beacon on 437.250 MHz and 1k2 AFSK AX.25 telemetry on 437.365 MHz • ArduSat-1 and ArduSat-X 1U CubeSats developed by Nanorack, NanoSatisfi. ArduSat-1 437.325 MHz 9k6 MSK CCSDS downlink. ArduSat-X 437.345MHz 9k6 MSK CCSDS downlink. • TechEdSat-3 a 3U CubeSat developed by NASA Ames Research Center The company NanoRack has announced it is sending 36 Units of CubeSats to the ISS (believed to be 26 separate CubeSats, some 2U or 3U in size). At the time of writing it is believed they will be going on a later cargo vessel. The main mission of HamTV is to perform contacts between the astronauts on the ISS and school students, not only by voice, but also by unidirectional video from the ISS to the ground within the ARISS program. The ESA Columbus module on the ISS will host the 2.4 GHz video transmitting station in addition to the existing 144 MHz FM amateur radio station. This new equipment can broadcast images from the ISS during the school contacts or other pre-recorded video images up to 24 hours a day to allow ground stations tuning. It is planned to transmit DVB-S signals on 2.4 GHz at either 1.3Msps or 2.3Msps with 10 watts of RF. The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel have announced frequencies of 2422.0 MHz and 2437.0 MHz. HamVideo is the name of the onboard DATV S-band transmitter. HamTV is the name of the complete system, comprising DATV downlink and VHF voice uplink. Kaiser Italia SRL was the prime-contractor for the design and development of the flight and ground segment http://www.kayser.it/index.php/exploration-2/ham-tv Read the HamTV overview paper here.

We are by no means done, and welcome the assistance of others to generate content and features for the site. We are using the WordPress content management system. so changing content is much simpler than earlier schemes used on www.amsat.org. It's got a nice web based interface that should be familiar to anyone with basic word processing skills. If you see something you think you can improve on, drop Joe Fitzgerald note, jfitzgerald at alum dot wpi dot edu ! [ANS thanks Joe KM1P for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Have You Received Your 2013 AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Ballot? Ballots were mailed to members in good standing by July 15th, and must be returned to the AMSAT-NA office no later than the close of business on September 15th, 2013. If you have not received your ballot by August 5th, please contact the AMSAT Office. Ballots sent to members outside North America are automatically sent via air mail. It is suggested that they be returned the same way. This year there are eight candidates running for the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors. The four candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be seated as voting Board Members with two year terms. The two candidates receiving the next highest number of votes will be non-voting Alternate Board Members with terms of one year. Please vote for no more than four candidates.

In addition to these are articles on EME from Antartica and the ESTCube-1 CubeSate The August Monitoring Times cover story is "How to Become an ISS APRS Gateway", by Christopher Friesen, VE4CWF. Keith Pugh's, KB1SF/VA3KSF, Amateur Radio Satellites column covers Saudisat 1C (SO- 50, ESTCube-1 and Fox-1A. Note that Grove Enterprises has announced that it will cease publication of Monitoring Times in December of this year. [ANS thanks ANS Editors for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Radio Scouting – ARISS Contact Reception Report The Boy Scout’s of America 2013 Jamboree included many radio activities by the club station K2BSA. The station was on the air on various frequencies and modes of operation and had a planned contact with astronauts aboard the international space station as part of the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. ARISS contacts are important opportunities for students to learn about amateur radio, space exploration, science and technology. They also offer radio hobbyists a unique opportunity to monitor communications from the most impressive human-built structure ever sent into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Participating in “Radio Scouting,” the general term used to describe the activities associated with amateur radio and scouting, also affords scouts the opportunity to earn their radio merit badges. The space station was making a relatively low 30 degree pass to the south of my location. I copied amateur radio station NA1SS’s half of the contact by climbing to the peak of my roof to get as free from the trees and other rooftops as possible and used my Yaesu FT-60R handheld transceiver and my “Slapshot” antenna. The following is my official reception report: Date: July 20, 2013 Time: 15:34 to 15:38 UTC Frequency: 145.800 +/- Doppler shift Mode: FM Signal: Full quieting Comments: I copied NA1SS making contact with K2BSA and begin answering questions. It sounded like Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP was conducting the QSO. Parmitano answered questions about whether he was a scout, how they clean up after themselves, and the use of robotics in space. I copied two audio clips, the first and clearest clip is 3 minutes long. Fortunately my clip contains the audio with both call signs being used by Parmitano. See the full article with links to the audio at http://tinyurl.com/ANS-216-B (Flash player required) [ANS thanks Christopher VE4CWF for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Radio Ham’s Leaky Spacesuit In edition 683 of Jonathan’s Space Report (JSR) Jonathan McDowell provides the history of the spacesuit of radio amateur Luca Parmitano KF5KDP which developed a water leak inside the helmet during a spacewalk on July 9, 2013. The spacewalk was abandoned and he was assisted back to the International Space Station (ISS) by Chris Cassidy KF5KDR. The suit Luca Parmitano KF5KDP used for the extravehicular activity (EVA) was EMU 3011. It had three previous station tours, here is its flight history: Flight 1 STS-79 1996 Sep 16-1996 Sep 25 (Apt, not used) Flight 2 STS-83 1997 Apr 4-1997 Apr 8 (Spacelab, Gernhardt, not used) Flight 3 STS-94 1997 Jul 1-1997 Jul 17 (Spacelab, Gernhardt, not used) Flight 4 STS-91 1998 Jun 2-1998 Jun 12 (Chang, not used) Flight 5 STS-95 1998 Oct 29-1998 Nov 7 (Robinson, not used) Flight 6 STS-96 1999 May 27-1999 Jun 6 (Barry, 1 EVA) Flight 7 STS-101 2000 May 19-2000 May 29 (Horowitz, not used) Flight 8 STS-106 2000 Sep 8-2000 Sep 20 (Backup, not used) Flight 9 STS-97 2000 Dec 1-2000 Dec 11 (Tanner, 3 EVA) Flight 10 STS-100 2001 Apr 19-2001 Jul 25 (ISS tour, Hadfield (2), down on 104) Flight 11 STS-109 2002 Mar 1-2002 Mar 12 (HST, Massimino(2)) Flight 12 STS-111 2002 Jun 5-2005 Aug 9 (ISS tour, Sellers (3),Pettit(2), down on 114) Flight 13 STS-126 2008 Nov 15-2009 Nov 27 (ISS tour, down on 129, not used) Flight 14 STS-132 2010 May 14-present (ISS tour; Williams (1), Hoshide (2), Parmitano(2)) EMU 3011 incorporates the PLSS 1011 backpack – this contains most of the systems and you can think of it as the core of the suit considered as its own spaceship, with the other components as a relatively inert bubble containing the human occupant. Before the EMU 3000 series nomenclature was adopted, PLSS 1011 flew multiple times: Flight 1 STS 61-B 1985 Nov 27-1985 Dec 3 EMU 1070/PLSS 1011 (Spring, 1 EVA) Flight 2 STS-26R 1988 Sep 29-1988 Oct 3 EMU 1090/PLSS 1011 (Lounge, not used) Flight 3 STS-27R 1988 Dec 2-1988 Dec 6 EMU 1090/PLSS 1011 (Ross, not used) Flight 4 STS-29R 1989 Mar 13-1989 Mar 18 EMU 1090/PLSS 1011 (Springer, not used) Flight 5 STS-28R 1989 Aug 8-1989 Aug 13 EMU 1098/PLSS 1011 (Brown, not used) Flight 6 STS-36 1990 Feb 28-1990 Mar 4 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Thout, not used) Flight 7 STS-41 1990 Oct 6-1990 Oct 10 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Akers, not used) Flight 8 STS-39 1991 Apr 28-1991 May 6 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Harbaugh, not used) Flight 9 STS-48 1991 Sep 12-1991 Sep 18 EMU 2008/PLSS 1011 (Buchli, not used) Flight 10 STS-46 1992 Jul 31-1992 Aug 8 EMU 2021/PLSS 1011 (Chang, not used) Flight 11 STS-73 1995 Oct 20-1995 Nov 5 EMU 2034/PLSS 1011 (Coleman, not used) So, this PLSS has flown a total of 25 times in space over 28 years – although of course there’s a bit of a “grandfather’s axe” paradox involved as it’s not clear how many of the original components remain.

The event will be broadcast on NASA Television and streamed live on the agency's website. Media and the public are welcome to attend to hear highlights from the Mars Science Laboratory's first year of investigations, learn about upcoming NASA robotic missions to the red planet, and speak with astronauts conducting experiments in space that will enable human exploration of Mars in the 2030s. Those interested in attending should plan to arrive at NASA Headquarters, 300 E St. SW, by 11:30 a.m. Seating is limited. Participating will be: • Charles Bolden, NASA administrator • Chris Cassidy, KF5KDR and Karen Nyberg, NASA astronauts, live from the space station • Jim Green, director, Planetary Division, NASA's Science Mission Directorate • Sam Scimemi, director, NASA's International Space Station Program • Prasun Desai, acting director, Strategic Integration, NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate The Mars Science Laboratory mission successfully placed the one-ton Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars on Aug. 6, 2012, UTC and EDT (evening of Aug. 5, 2012, PDT), about 1 mile from the center of its 12-mile-long target area. Within the first eight months of a planned 23-months primary mission, Curiosity met its major science objective of finding evidence of a past environment well-suited to support microbial life. With much more science to come, Curiosity's wheels continue to blaze a trail for human footprints on Mars.

The contact began 2013-07-30 08:26 UTC and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was telebridged via VK4KHZ. IN3GHZ served as the ARISS Mentor. The Italian Bilingual School in New South Wales Australia offers your child a unique educational opportunity to achieve excellence through bilingualism. The study of Italian offers students a window into a culture of beauty, a vehicle for creative individuality and an appreciation of the musicality in language. Italian is, after English, the most widely spoken language in Australia. Over half a million Italian Australians use the language every day. The study of Italian prepares our students for the challenges of a multicultural global community by deepening their understanding of cultural diversity. + A Successful contact was made between Oshkosh Air Venture Air Show, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA and Astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP using callsign NA1SS. The contact began 2013-08-01 17:01 UTC and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was telebridged via AH6NM. KA3HDO served as the ARISS Mentor. With 500,000 visitors to EAA's AirVenture each year and a student membership of more than 20,000, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is a gateway to aerospace for many young people. The young people present for the contact with the space station were very diverse and reflect the range of people who are active in our organization. This includes a large group of 125 young women and their mentors as part of WomenSoar, where young women can find amazing opportunities with aerospace. Attending, also, were groups from aviation high schools from Florida and California whom participated in the ham radio contact with the ISS crew. And finally there were additional attendees of all ages who listened and participated with great interest. The EAA believes that inspiring the next generation is work worth doing. We believe in working to grow interest by sharing compelling, real life stories of people who have found rewarding careers and lifestyles through Aerospace. We hope to grow participation in aviation and space and all of its related areas through this once in a lifetime opportunity to talk with astronauts in space and the folks we will have with us on the ground. The ARISS contact an amazing way to help these outstanding students reach that goal. + A Successful contact was made between Space Jam 7 at the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum, Rantoul, IL, USA and Astronaut Christopher J. Cassidy, KF5KDR using callsign NA1SS. The contact began 2013-08-03 20:46 UTC and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was telebridged via LU8YY. AJ9N served as the ARISS Mentor. We live in a fast-paced world impacted by evolving technology. Space Jam 7 was developed to catch up with the interests and needs of our youth involved in scouting. While scouting will always address camping and pioneer skills, Our objective at the event was to teach STEM technology merit badges and skills required by tomorrow's pioneers, the astronauts. Three of our 44 major activities involved robotics. In addition to 2 Space Exploration classes we taught the Aviation merit badge (including actual flights), introduction to Scuba, Metal Work, Geology, Inventing, Electronics and Electricity. For the first time we offered Cinematography merit badge and a class where Scouts and adults could earn their ham radio license. We were attended by 2000 Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and leaders from 20 different states, who flew, drove and took the train from across the country. 350+ volunteers put this together because they love what they do. Of course our signature merit badge was again the Duck Tape merit badge that we do just for fun. Our theme this year was the Future of Space Exploration and our answer to that implied question is not so much about going to the planet Mars but the education of these youth who will get us there and who asked questions of the astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Upcoming Contacts Epet Nº 2, Gral. Pico, Argentina, telebridge via LU8YY Contact is a go for: Tue 2013-08-06 11:48:35 UTC Ecole Primaire Pasteur, Fleurance, France, telebridge via LU1CGB Contact is a go for: Wed 2013-08-07 11:01:18 UTC ARISS is requesting listener reports for the above contacts. Due to issues with the Kenwood radio that are not fully understood at present,the Ericsson radio is going to be used for these contacts. ARISS thanks everyone in advance for their assistance. US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals. For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal, submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the school. NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal. You must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS at mail dot nasa dot gov or by calling them at (281) 244-2320. The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact: Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Here you will find a listing of all scheduled school contacts, and questions, other ISS related websites, IRLP and Echolink websites, and instructions for any contact that may be streamed live. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf A complete year by year breakdown of the contacts may be found in the file. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf [ANS thanks ARISS, Charlie AJ9N and Dave AA4KN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Satellite Shorts From All Over + 432 and Above EME Newsletter is now online http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/em70cm.html + Frank Griffin, K4FEG, reported to the AMSAT-BB, "it is my opinion that we are quickly approaching the end of the Eclipse Cycle for AO7 this season. In May of 2014 I hope to look at the beginning of the Eclipse Cycle and work at predicting the beginning and end of it better. This has been a fun exercise for me and I appreciate those from around the world that forwarded their observations to me. Now it is time to sit and wait to see if the switches start back on August 2, 2013 at @21:00 UTC" + In a follow-up post Paul Stoetzer, N8HM, adds "The "AMSAT-OSCAR 7 Technical Operator's Plan And Experimenter's Guide" found starting on page 75 of this PDF, http://ka9q.net/AMSAT-Newsletter-1974.pdf says that the clock automatically switches the satellite to Mode B at 0000 GMT. If the clock is reset by eclipse to 0000, it stands to reason that it would always come up in Mode B out of eclipse." Paul later reported Interestingly, it looks like it's still in Mode B based on status reports, and hasn't switched to Mode A at all despite being in full illumination for more than 48 hours at this point. Even though it's not fully eclipsed at any point in it's orbit now, maybe it's still not receiving enough sunlight to remain powered up at some point during it's orbit? Telemetry reports would be very interesting to see what the onboard clock is reading. + AMSAT-NA has several presences on Social Media.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-209 The AMSAT News Service bulletins are a free, weekly news and infor- mation service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space including 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. The news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur Radio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor at amsat.org. In this edition: * AMSAT Submits Comments to the US Government on ITAR Transition * ARISS Leadership from AMSAT and ARRL to be on-hand for EAA Airventure ARISS contact * July/August AMSAT Journal is Ready * 2013 AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Ballot Has Been Mailed * STRaND-1 Heard After 113 Days of Silence * Slime Mold Satellite gets into the media * QB50: Ham Radio transponder payloads to launch 2014 * AMSAT-UK Colloquium videos now available * AMSAT members wave at Cassini * ARISS News * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-209.01 ANS-209 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 209.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. DATE July 28, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-209.01 AMSAT Submits Comments to the US Government on ITAR Transition On May 24, 2013 the Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) released proposed changes to the US Munitions List (USML) Category XV ("Spacecraft Systems and Related Articles"), redefining what constitutes satellites that would remain under the USML. Satellites removed from USML will be transferred to the Department of Commerce's Commerce Control List (CCL). Consequently, the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) also released proposed changes on May 24, 2013 regarding modifications to the Commerce Control List, creating a separate category for satellites that were formerly controlled under ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations). AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW and AMSAT Congressional Liaison Peter Portanova, WB2OQQ took on the task of drafting comments in response to the combined 105 pages of "bureaucratize" drafted by the DDTC and the BIS. Former AMSAT President Bill Tynan, W3XO crafted initial comments that provided a starting point. Peter, using various points of contact in Washington to help gauge how AMSAT might submit remarks, made recommendations on the crafting of AMSAT's response. Barry then wrote two different drafts, one addressed to the DDTC in response to the USML changes, requesting confirmation that Amateur Satellite Service spacecraft and associated equipment will be removed from the USML. The other document is addressed to the BIS in response to the proposed changes to the CCL, suggesting that Amateur Satellite Service spacecraft and associated equipment be separately categorized and controlled given the significant differences between Commercial and Amateur Satellite Service spacecraft. Both drafts were initially reviewed by the AMSAT Board of Directors with the final versions submitted on 6 JUL 13. If you would like to review both submissions they have been placed on the AMSAT website (www.amsat.org). In addition, AMSAT's submission to BIS (along with the comments of others) may be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/k75u2go AMSAT's submission to the DDTC along with other interested parties may be found here: http://tinyurl.com/lxobvxh Note that this PDF contains "all" comments received; AMSAT's comments start on page 138. Both DDTC and BIS will now review the comments received and presumably make modifications to the original proposals. It will likely take several months before both agencies respond to the comments that they've received. [ANS thanks Barry WD4ASW for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ARISS Leadership from AMSAT and ARRL to be on-hand for EAA Airventure ARISS contact ARISS International Chair and AMSAT V.P. for Human Spaceflight, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO and ARISS U.S. delegate for the ARRL, Rosalie White, K1STO, will be supporting this week’s ARISS Contact in Oshkosh Wisconsin at Airventure, the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) annual airshow and convention, which normally hosts 500,000 visitors each year. Possessing private pilot and amateur radio licenses, Frank and Rosalie independently planned to attend Airventure this year, long before the ARISS contact was planned. “My wife Janet and I have attended Airventure 3 years straight,” Frank stated. “It is an outstanding opportunity for us to immerse ourselves in all things aviation. And it enables me to hone one of my other passions, amateur photography. When Rosalie and I heard that a contact was planned for Airventure and we learned that we were both planning a trip to Airventure, we jumped at the chance to mentor the EAA team.” While they will plan to keep a bustling agenda of “all-things aviation,” Frank, Janet and Rosalie will be focused on the ARISS contact. Planned for 12:01 CT on August 1, the contact will be conducted using the telebridge station AH6NM at the Sacred Hearts School in Hawaii. ISS astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP, plans to be at the microphone during the contact. The ARISS contact will be held as part of EAA’s Science, Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) initiative, where the focus on August 1 is space—past present and the future. Students attending the contact will include 125 women and their mentors from the EAA’s Women Sour group and students from Flabob Airport High School and Lakeland Aviation High School. Several former astronauts will also on-hand for the contact, including Charlie Precourt, KB5YSQ, who supported SAREX (STS-55 & STS- 71), Jim Voss, who supported ARISS (Expedition 2) and Kent Rominger. They will share their experiences as former astronauts and leaders in NASA’s Commercial Crew program. They will also provide the students a unique view of what it is like to perform SAREX and ARISS contacts from orbit. ARISS is an international STEM outreach program that is jointly sponsored in the U.S. by NASA, ARRL and AMSAT-NA.

The spacecraft has been silent since March 31st so this is really good news. I am certain that the project leader, Dr Chris Bridges, who presented a paper about STRaND-1 at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium last Sunday, would be really pleased to receive any and all reports from other amateurs around the world. Mike has an info page about this spacecraft here: http://www.dk3wn.info/sat/afu/sat_strand.shtml STRaND-1 transmits on frequency of 437.568 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler) Please send your reports to C.P.Bridges at surrey.ac.uk A video of the presentation on STRaND-1 given on July 21 by Chris Bridges M6OBC / M0GKK to the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium can be seen via: http://amsat-uk.org/2013/07/23/uk-strand-1-cubesat-is-back/ Download the video by right-clicking on http://www.batc.tv/vod/strand.flv See the report from Mike Rupprecht DK3WN http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=35582 STRaND-1 information http://amsat-uk.org/satellites/strand-1/ How to decode the telemetry http://amsat-uk.org/satellites/strand-1/strand-1-telemetry/ [ANS thanks Graham G3VZV, Mike DK3WN and Trevor M5AKA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Slime Mold Satellite gets into the media A brief mention of the Slime Mold CubeSat posted last March on the AMSAT-UK and Southgatearc.org sites has been picked up by one of the Space.Com website writers, Leonard David, who has written a good article which retained a mention of amateur radio. It's Summer in the northern hemisphereand media outlets can be short of stories at this time of year so Leonards story has in turn been picked up by a few other news outlets and hopefully that will spread. I guess the thought of Slime in Space captures the imagination.Most of the resulting stories seem to have retained the mention of amateur radio. You can read Leonard David's article at http://www.space.com/21982-space-slime-grows-mold-tiny-satellite.html March AUK mention http://amsat-uk.org/2013/03/15/teikyosat-3-slime-mold-from-space/ [ANS thanks Trevor M5AKA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- QB50: Ham Radio transponder payloads to launch 2014 It was announced during the QB50 presentation at the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium that two CubeSats, carrying SSB/CW and FM voice transponders should be launched into a 600 km orbit in the first half of 2014 The QB50 project team has announced that on July 19, 2013 they signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AMSAT-UK, AMSAT- Francophone, and AMSAT-NL to enable two amateur radio payloads to fly on two 2-Unit CubeSats in the first half of 2014. These precursor CubeSats, which have still to be named, will be placed into a conventional 600 km 98o orbit in advance of the main mission. This allows for the testing of key satellite and payload components ahead of the full QB50 mission. In addition, the precursor mission allows for experimentation and validation of operational concept of the QB50 mission. Next to these objectives the amateur radio payloads will be operated as well. At the beginning of the mission, the various payloads onboard the spacecraft will be operated in an alternating fashion, whilst the amateur radio payloads will be operated as the primary payload of the spacecraft once all QB50 related experimentation has been concluded. The main mission of QB50 has the scientific objective to study in situ the temporal and spatial variations of a number of key constituents and parameters in the lower thermosphere (90-320 km) with a network of about 40 double CubeSats. These, university built, CubeSats will be launched into a 320km circular orbit, will be separated by a few hundred kilometres and carry identical science sensors. The sensors will monitor parameters that will greatly increase our knowledge and understanding of this little explored region of the E and F layers of the Ionosphere. QB50 will also study the re-entry process by measuring a number of key parameters during re-entry and by comparing predicted and actual CubeSat trajectories and orbital lifetimes. The AMSAT-Francophone (AMSAT-F) payload for one of the satellites will be an FM voice relay with VHF uplink and UHF downlink. It will also transmit FX25 telemetry at 9.6kbit. This secondary payload will be also used in several satellites in the main constellation as their main receiver and transmitter. The AMSAT-NL payload, on the other precursor satellite, will incorporate an SDR based, linear, V/U, transponder core and is being designed to allow the uploading of firmware updates to enable enhanced performance and functionality. It will also provide a telemetry downlink at 1.2kbit using FUNcube compatible BPSK modulation. The QB50 spacecraft in the main, short duration, mission will, generally, have downlinks operating on frequencies in the 435-438 MHz Amateur Satellite Service allocation and some are expected to use 2.4GHz. They will be notified to the ITU as a Belgian network after having been coordinated by the IARU Frequency Coordination Panel. Some of these will also, on occasions, act as FM voice relays during their missions.

Attendees at the AMSAT-UK International Space Collquium responded enthusiastically On Friday, July 19 between 21:27 and 21:47 UT NASA's Cassini spacecraft took images of Saturn, with the planet Earth in the background nearly 1.5 billion kilometers away. NASA encouraged the public to look and wave in the direction of Saturn at the time of the portrait and share their pictures via the Internet. AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium attendees were among the many world-wide who did just that.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-188 The AMSAT News Service bulletins are a free, weekly news and infor- mation service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS publishes news related to Amateur Radio in Space including 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. The news feed on http://www.amsat.org publishes news of Amateur Radio in Space as soon as our volunteers can post it. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor at amsat.org. In this edition: * Last Reminder for AMSAT Field Day Summary results * FITSAT-1 (NIWAKA) Decays * ISS Ham Radio Slow Scan TV active * Sending Your Own Spacecraft to the Moon * 2013 AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium starts July 19 * OPS-SAT opportunity for Radio Amateurs * Dutch Amateur Radio Satellite User Meeting September 28th 2013 * ARISS News * Satellite Shorts From All Over SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-188.01 ANS-188 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 188.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. DATE July 7, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-188.01 Last Reminder for AMSAT Field Day Summary results Just a quick reminder that you must have your AMSAT Field Day results received by me no later than Monday, July 8, 2013 at 23:59 PM Central Time. If I do not receive them, your group will not be listed in the AMSAT Field Day story in the journal and they will be mad at you. We have had 14 submissions so far, last year we had 19. I hope we beat that number. Even if your group made one contact, turn it in. That shows you participated in AMSAT Field Day and succeeded in the feat of getting through the mess to complete your contact. A lot of groups were unable to accomplish one. [ANS thanks Bruce KK5DO, kk5do at arrl dot net, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- FITSAT-1 (NIWAKA) Decays FITSAT-1 (NIWAKA) decayed on 4th July 2013. The last signal was received by JA0CAW at 03:07(UT). I appreciate all hams who joined our experiments, helped our operations, and sent me many reports. I could make many friends in the world and enjoyed through FITSAT-1. Though FITSAT-1 became a shooting star, I am very happy now. Thank you very much again all Ham friends. Very Best 73, de Takushi -- Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG FITSAT-project Fukuoka Institute of Technology [ANS thanks Takushi Tanaka, JA6AVG for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ISS Ham Radio Slow Scan TV active The Slow Scan TV (SSTV) experiment on the International Space Station (ISS) was active on July 2-3, on 145.800 MHz FM The MAI-75 experiment worked very well producing some stunning images. All you need to do to receive the SSTV pictures from the space station is to connected the audio output of a scanner or amateur rig via a simple interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC or an Apple iOS device, and tune in to 145.800 MHz FM. You can even receive pictures by holding an iPhone next to the radio's loudspeaker. On Windows PC's the free application MMSSTV can be used to decode the signal, on Apple iOS devices you can use the SSTV app. The ISS Fan Club website will show you when the space station is in range. MMSSTV http://hamsoft.ca/pages/mmsstv.php iOS SSTV App https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sstv/id387910013 For more on Slow Scan Television SSTV, see this article SSTV - The Basics http://www.essexham.co.uk/sstv-the-basics How to be successful with the ISS Slow Scan Television (SSTV) imaging system http://www.marexmg.org/fileshtml/howtoisssstv.html Information on the MAI-75 SSTV experiment http://www.energia.ru/eng/iss/researches/education-26.html IZ8BLY Vox Recoder, enables you to record the signals from the ISS on 145.800 MHz while you're away at work http://antoninoporcino.xoom.it/VoxRecorder/ For the latest status of amateur radio activity on the ISS and real time tracking see http://www.issfanclub.com/ [ANS thanks Trevor M5AKA and Southgate ARN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sending Your Own Spacecraft to the Moon A new project to give thousands of people the opportunity to design, build and launch personalised spacecraft and send them to the moon has begun. Now anyone can become a citizen space explorer and take part in a mission to send their own Pocket Spacecraft to the moon. At a cost of just GBP 99 (~EUR119/JPY15499/USD159), explorers who back the project will be able to personalise their own spacecraft by adding a picture or message direct from their favourite social media or game profile or create their own unique design. They can do this from their smartphone or web browser and will be able to monitor progress throughout their mission with their own Pocket Mission Control app. Users will be able to track the progress of their spacecraft as it is designed, built in the lab and travels through space. More technical explorers will be able to write software and even customise the on-board hardware enabling them to conduct their own unique experiments whether mapping the solar wind or playing laser tag - in space! Pocket Spacecraft are disks with flexible electronics, smaller than a CD and as thin as a piece of paper, that will be loaded into an Interplanetary CubeSat mothership to hitch a ride into space on a commercial rocket. The mothership will then set off to the moon and when it arrives many months later, the fleet of Pocket Spacecraft will be photographed as they are released to land on the moon to complete their mission. Anyone can take part in the mission via the crowd-funding site Kickstarter (search for ‘Pocket Spacecraft‘ or visit PocketSpacecraft.com ). Since launch in 2009, Kickstarter has raised more than $500 million for various projects from over 3 million individuals. Pocket Spacecraft only needs support from 2000 or more people to allow the mission to go ahead. The global team of scientists, engineers and designers behind Pocket Spacecraft have already created two dozen open space projects for the mission since 2009, supported by more than a hundred volunteers from twenty countries (and counting) led by co-ordinators in Europe (Bristol, UK) and America (Pasadena, CA, USA). Michael Johnson, founder of Pocket Spacecraft, co-created the first space mission funded on KickStarter (KickSat - due to be launched by NASA later this year), and influential workshops such as the Interplanetary CubeSat Workshop at MIT, and the Keck Institute for Space Studies Small Satellites: A Revolution in Space Science workshop at Caltech. “By backing this mission people will revolutionise space exploration and space science” enthuses Michael. “By democratising interplanetary space exploration we will create a generation of young explorers who can use the same affordable methods to explore Mars, Venus and beyond. We’re building tools so that one day every child will be able to send their own spacecraft on a robotic field trip in space”. The campaign will run for 60 days and end on August 26, 2013. Detailed information regarding the campaign is available on the KickStarter website: http://tinyurl.com/q8nbj6j MEDIA RELATIONS: media(a)PocketSpacecraft.com | PHONE +44 117 230 2060 / +1 626 768 2050 Helen White (Media Relations) helen(a)PocketSpacecraft.com Michael Johnson (Founder) michael(a)PocketSpacecraft.com Seth Jackson (Partnership enquiries) seth(a)PocketSpacecraft.com [ANS thanks Helen White for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium starts July 19 The 2013 AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium will start late afternoon on Friday, July 19 and will run through until the afternoon on Sunday, July 21 at the Holiday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ, UK. It will be preceded by a "Hands-on" CubeSat Workshop. This free workshop will take place at the nearby University of Surrey on Friday, July 19 and this will be followed, at the hotel, by the usual Colloquium "Beginners Session" in the late afternoon. The Holiday Inn, Guildford It is anticipated that both the FUNcube-1 and FUNcube-2 missions will be launched later this year and the FUNcube team will be on hand to talk about the missions and the planned educational outreach. A full demonstration of the Engineering Model, which has been performing flawlessly for almost a year, will also be provided. Further details and booking information at http://amsat-uk.org/colloquium/colloquium-2013/ [ANS thanks Trevor, M5AKA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- OPS-SAT opportunity for Radio Amateurs The ESA OPS-SAT CubeSat provides a rare opportunity for testing new amateur radio software for use on a CubeSat actually in space. The 3U CubeSat has deployable solar arrays and plans to launch in 2016 into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Although the formal closing dates for expressions of interest from potential experimenters for this project has now closed, contact has been made with Dave Evans at ESA-ESOC who has confirmed that they would be very interested to receive proposals from an AMSAT team to develop a novel use of this spacecraft for amateur radio purposes. In addition to an X Band downlink and S Band uplinks and downlinks, the spacecraft will carry a simplex transceiver operating with 4k8/9k6 telemetry using GMSK on the 435 MHz band. It s understood that experimenters will have access to an onboard processor running Linux/Java at 500 to 800 MHz. The project is open to teams led by a group from any ESA member country (this includes Canada) and initial info is shown here although the detailed design is being rapidly iterated.. It is emphasised that this is a very open project which will require lots of interaction between the contributing groups. Bright ideas are needed from our software experts and If there is sufficient interest it may be possible to host a Skype conference about this opportunity during the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium over the weekend of July 20-21. It is not proposed that this should be an AMSAT-UK led project, but Graham Shirville G3VZV is happy to provide some initial coordination!

It will be held in Paasloo, in the Northern part of The Netherlands. We are very pleased to join this day with the annual VHF day held by the Dutch amateur radio society VERON. There will be a series of presentations concerning amateur radio satellites. Amongst others, the following topics will be included: a portable radio setup, the support radio amateurs provide give to the scientific community, beginners sessions, and last but not least, the latest news about two new satellites to be launched soon: the FUNcube- 1 and the Delfi-N3xT satellites (by their project representatives)! Besides these presentations, it is of course a great opportunity to meet other amateurs who are interested in satellites, and make plans for future meetings! While the main language will be Dutch (including the presentations), non-Dutch guests are of course welcome to join as well. If you need assistance with signing up, do not hesitate to ask either PA1IVO or PA3GUO (both callsign AT amsat.org) for help.

The contact began 17:31 UTC 2013-06-26 and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was direct via 9A1A. Ruder Boskovic Technical School in Zagreb is a secondary school with more than a sixty year tradition. Even since it was founded in 1948, it has been one of the highest rated schools in northwestern part of Croatia,on the present county of Grad Zagreb. It was named in honour to famous Croatian 18th century mathematician, astronomer, physicist, philosopher and theologian Ruder Boskovic who was born in Dubrovnik. There are 44 classes divided in 4 grades and 4 school educational programs : IT technician, electronics technician, mechatronics technician and optician. There are approximately 1.100 students aged 15 to 19, and more then 110 professors. + A Successful contact was made between Scuola Secondaria 1° grado "Arturo Toscanini", Capiago Intimiano, Italy and Astronaut Luca Parmitano, KF5KDP using callsign IRØISS. The contact began 11:50:23 UTC 2013-06-29 and lasted about nine and a half minutes. Contact was both dirct and telebridged because of the mountainous terrain around with the contact, starting with IK1SLD, then proceeding to IZ2WLC and finished back with IK1SLD. This school contact was in made in conjunction with the one from Scuola Media Massimiliano Kolbe. Scuola Secondaria 1° grado "Arturo Toscanini", Capiago Intimiano, Italy The school is located in Capiago Intimiano, a small town in the north part of Italy, 7 km far from Como.
