AMSAT V/U/WX Receive Preamps at Dayton for Display and Sales
AMSAT will have a supply of the popular V/U/WX receive preamplifiers
at Dayton for display and sales.
Ready to operate--not a kit! Fully assembled, tested, and installed
in a metal enclosure with female BNC connectors on input and output.
It is based on the MAR 7 device, and covers 100 MHz to 500 MHz. This
includes the137 MHz WX, 2M, and 70cm satellite bands.
Operates from +9-15V DC (a fresh 9V battery works great!). Perfect
for portable operations using dual band hand-held Yagis like the
ARROW, Cheap Yagi, etc. Just put it inline on the correct receive
band for operations in either mode U/V or V/U. You won't believe
what you've been missing!
Includes low power (about 5W) protection diode on the input for acci-
dental transmissions into the input. This preamp is not RF switched.
It must be protected from inadvertent repeated or high power trans-
mission RF using a relay or diplexer.
Full details and schematic can be found in the November/December
2012 AMSAT Journal article by Mark Spencer, WA8SME, or downloaded
from the item in the Hardware section of the AMSAT Store:
http://store.amsat.org/catalog/
The assembled and tested kit is priced at $50 USD.
Proceeds from the sale of this item will help fund the AMSAT Fox
Family of satellites!
This equipment was developed as part of the ARRL Education and Tech-
nology Program.

New Fox-1 CubeSat Model to Debut at Hamvention 2013
Through the dedicated work of Stefan Wagener, VE4NSA, AMSAT-NA will
debut its new 1:1 scale cardboard model of the Fox-1 CubeSat at Ham-
vention 2013.
We will have a complete display at the AMSAT booth. It is life size,
and based on the latest Fox-1 engineering drawings for highest fid-
elity in design and appearance.
The model is printed in color on heavy stock paper, including all
components. The instructions are carefully prepared to allow for
easy assembly requiring scissors, glue etc. Depending on experience,
assembly will take approximately 10+ hours.
The complete model will be a perfect addition to any satellite oper-
ator's shack, and a chance to show visitors what is being done by
AMSAT today. We will have finished models at the AMSAT booth for a
recommended donation of $25. All proceeds will go to supporting the
Fox Project.
See http://ww2.amsat.org/?p=503 for a photo of the model.

Updated AMSAT LVB Tracker to be Shown at Dayton
AMSAT has sold the popular G6LVB Tracker for several years. This
year we will have a new version which replaces the amber LCD display
with an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display. The new display
offers a high visibility contrast with a wide angle of view. It will
be available in blue, green and amber.
LVB Trackers will be available with the recommended serial (RS-232)
I/O. The recommended minimum donation will remain $200. An FTDI USB/
Serial module is available as an option for an additional $25. A pic-
ture showing the old and new displays may be found at:
http://ww2.amsat.org/?p=484
Current LVB Tracker owners may update their own units. The OLED dis-
plays used are manufactured by Newhaven, NHD-0216KZW series, and are
available from Mouser and other online parts suppliers. The OLED dis-
plays have less depth so the PEM fasteners need to be shortened for
correct fit and viewing thru the front of the case. The LVB Tracker
firmware will also require updating. Current owners may send their
LVB Tracker to WB8CXO for retrofit if they don't wish to do the mod-
ifications themselves. Upgrading existing trackers will be $50 + ship-
ping. Contact WB8CXO(a)AMSAT.ORG for details.
AMSAT would like to acknowledge the many contributors to this effort.
Mike Young, WB8CXO who has supported the Tracker and whose initiative
was essential to this development. John Drago, W8FAA modified the LVB
Tracker firmware to support the OLED display. Ken Baker from Ridge
Machine manufactured the PEM fastener cutting jig. Steve Belter, N9IP,
Mark Hammond, N8MH and John Papay, K8YSE did beta testing. And
finally Gould Smith, WA4SXM, LVB Tracker project manager for his
continuous guidance and support.

Signals Received From Estonia's ESTCube-1 CubeSat
Estonia's first CubeSat ESTCube-1, amateur radio callsign ES5E/S,
was successfully launched from the ESA Spaceport in Kourou in French
Guiana on May 7, 2013 aboard an ESA VEGA rocket.
Built by students at the University of Tartu ESTCube-1 the main
mission of the satellite is to test electric solar wind sail tech-
nology, a novel space propulsion technology that could revolution-
alize transportation within the solar system. It will deploy a 10
meter conductive electrodynamic tether and the force interacting
with the tether will be measured.
Information about the satellite is posted at:
http://www.estcube.eu/en/
The IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination Panel have pub-
lished these frequencies for ESTCube-1:
+ 437.250 MHz - CW beacon, callsign ES5E/S
+ 437.505 MHz - 9600 bps AX.25 telemetry, callsign ES5E-11
+ See http://www.estcube.eu/en/radio-details for additional news.
+ A beacon decoder can also be found on a link from this page.
The AMSAT-UK web shows additional photos and a description of the
mission for ESTCube-1 at:
http://amsat-uk.org/2013/05/06/estcube-1-estonias-first-cubesat-2/
The ESTCube-1 Team has begun posting updates on their facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/estcube

ESTCube-1 keplerian elements are included in the AMSAT.ORG elements
set sent out this week via the keps(a)amsat.org e-mail list.
After deployment from the VEGA upper stage reception reports of
ESTCube-1 reception reports from amateur radio stations worldwide
were posted:
+ Ib, OZ1MY received the signal, noting, "Using the preliminary
TLEs I heard ESTCube-1 beacon at 0908 UTC May 7. The received
frequency is approximately 2 KHz higher than published."
+ Nader, ST2NH reported, "EstCube-1 Beacon heard over Africa strong
and clear."
+ Ken, GW1FKY reported, "Monday 7th May 2013 - Time here in Wales, UK
1235hrs UTC. Hearing ESTcube-1 very well with just my Elk antenna
and a Kenwood TS-2000.
+ Jean-Pierre, F5YG wrote, "On orbit number 4, good signal but only
small pieces of text as there is a lot of time between CW frames.
+ Hector, CO6CBF said, "ESTCube-1 was heard in EL92sd with a great
signal. I was running a FUNcube Dongle with SDR-Radio V2.0 and ELK
antenna with a homebrew preamplifier.
Approximately 12 hours after launch the ESTCube-1 team posted a status
that received telemetry packets indicate the satellite had charged its
batteries completely.

----------------------------------------------------------
The contact with the Yellowknife R.C.M.P. Headquarters, Yellowknife,
NWT, Canada, via a telebridge connection with K6DUE that had been
scheduled for Saturday, May 11 was postponed due to an unplanned EVA
to investigate an ammonia leak. At press time this contact has been
rescheduled for a telebridge via K6DUE on Sunday, May 12.
ARISS is requesting listener reports for the above contacts. Due to
issues with the Kenwood radio that are not fully understood at pre-
sent, the Ericsson radio is going to be used for these contacts.

Museum Ships Weekend Special Event Station KK5W Satellite Ops
The Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club (BVARC) will be participating
in the Museum Ships Weekend Event on June 1-2, 2013 from Pelican
Island (IOTA NA-143) near Galveston, Texas.
It is expected that amateur radio operators will activate amateur
radio stations on over 80 ships worldwide during the event. The
BVARC operation from Seawolf Park will activate both the submarine
USS Cavalla and the destroyer escort USS Stewart.
BVARC plans a full 2-day operation on the HF bands. Operation on
OSCAR satellites is planned for daytime passes on Saturday, June 1.
The BVARC satellite team will consist of AMSAT members Andy Mac-
Allister, W5ACM, Allen Mattis, N5AFV, Charlie Keng, K5ENG, and
Carl Hacker, WC5WM.
During MSWE 2012 a number of museum ships operated on OSCAR satel-
lites and the KK5W satellite team worked the USS Nautilus, the USS
New Jersey, and the Lightship Overfalls. We encourage any interest-
ed satellite operators to volunteer to operate on the OSCAR satel-
lites if you live near a participating museum ship. Join in and be
part of this worldwide event.
If you hear KK5W on during MSWE 2013 give us a call. QSL with SASE
to KK5W, Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club, PO BOX 2997, Sugar Land,

Additional 2M Downlink Allocation Proposed for Amateur Satellites?
AMSAT-UK reports that an increased allocation for amateur satellite
downlink on the 2 meter band has been proposed. In the minutes from
the IARU Region 1 Interim meeting held in Vienna, April 20-21, the
papers related to the Amateur Satellite Service included:
+ VIE13_C5_03 Increased Amateur-Satellite Service 144MHz Usage
+ VIE13_C5_05 Recommendations for DATV Transmission
+ VIE13_C5_24 Region 1 Satellite Coordinator Report
+ VIE13_C5_27 New Narrow-Band working frequencies in the
2300-2450 MHz band
+ VIE13_C5_32 2400MHz Amateur Satellites
The VIE13_C5_03 which proposed the use of 144.000-144.035 MHz for
satellite SSB/CW downlinks was modified to accommodate some CW con-
tests, the proposal was reduced from 35 to 25kHz
(i.e. 144.000-144.025 MHz).
The minutes record that Graham Shirville, G3VZV presented the paper
on the increasing use of 2m by satellites and the desire to use the
under-utilized bottom of the 2m band 144.000-144.035, which had
originally been harmonized for EME activity. "EME has subsequently
moved to frequencies further up the band," Shirville said.
An IARU Region 1 representative noted that if the other IARU Region
2 and Region 3 are also willing to go for 144.000 and 144.025, then
IARU Region 1 will support this proposal. IARU Region 2 Conference
is in Cancun, Mexico in September 2013.
Additional details of the proposal and links to the Vienna C5 meet-
ing minutes and papers are posted on the AMSAT-UK web at:
http://tinyurl.com/FrequencyProposal (www.amsat-uk.org)
In the show "Amateur Radio Today" for May 5, 2013 Murray Niman G6JYB
was interviewed about the IARU Region 1 Vienna conference and dis-
cussed the proposal to permit amateur radio satellite linear trans-
ponders operate in the very bottom section of the 144 MHz band.
The show, hosted by Hans van de Groenendaal ZS6AKV, provides a pre-
view of the Dayton Hamvention, Murray Niman who represented the SARL
(and RSGB) at the IARU Vienna Conference. The interview with Murray
Niman G6JYB starts 34 minutes into the show.

http://www.amateurradio.org.za/ARTODAY5MAY2013.MP3 (hi-res)
AMSAT-NA President Barry Baines, WD4ASW notes that the AMSAT-NA
Board of Directors is studying the IARU Region 1 proposal but has
as yet not reached a decision on whether to support it or not. He
further noted that EME operators and other weak signal people need
to be canvassed before the Board is willing to reach a decision.
Barry observed, "The inclusion of this news item in ANS is meant to
encourage conversation/discussion and is not meant to suggest impli-
cit endorsement by AMSAT-NA. AMSAT members and others who wish to
comment on the proposal are encouraged to send their feedback to the
AMSAT Board of Directors' mailbox at BOD at AMSAT.org."

future.
+ Members of the Camb-Hams are now active from the Isle of Mull
(IOSA NH15, SCOTIA CN10, WLOTA 2485), Inner Hebrides, as GS3PYE/p
until May 16. Look for 13 operators to be active on all bands and
many modes from 160-2 meters as well as 472 kHz. The HF bands will
be covered by 5 simultaneous stations, while 6m, 4m and 2m sta-
tions will have a great take-off towards the UK and Europe. They
will have an antenna elevation system for 2m EME activity and
will also be on many of the VHF/UHF satellite passes.
+ Singing in Space: Russia's space agency Roscosmos said this week
it has reached an agreement with US-based Space Adventures Ltd.
company to proceed with the plans to put British singer Sarah
Brightman on a space flight to the International Space Station in
October 2015. A final decision on Brightman's journey to the ISS
has not been made as it has to be coordinated between Roscosmos
and NASA, fitting the demanding schedule of visiting flights to
the orbital station. (SpaceDaily.com)
+ The 2013 Central States VHF Society Conference will be held near
Chicago at the Elk Grove Village, IL, Holiday Inn from Thursday
July 25 until Sunday July 28. Refer to the conference web at:
http://www.csvhfs.org/2013conference/agenda.html for additional
information on the technical program, family activities, and a

the W5KUB.com world wide webcast. The live broadcast begins on
Wednesday May 15 at 8:00 AM Central time for the 550 Mile drive
from Memphis to Dayton live. The broadcast will be up on Thursday
to show various vendors setting up. Then the show will feature
Hamvention coverage Friday through Sunday. As in the past, W5KUB
will be giving out thousands of dollars of ham prizes to their
viewers. Join in on the fun at W5KUB.Com. When you login to the

(not up and running currently)
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4
Hz. The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary):
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the re-
peater 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 and Amateur Radio operators piece together the PhoneSat picture
For about one week, engineers at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett
Field, Calif., and amateur radio operators around the world
collaborated to reconstruct an image of Earth sent to them from three
smartphones in orbit.
The joint effort was part of NASA's nanosatellite mission, called
PhoneSat, which launched on Sunday, April 21, 2013 aboard the Antares
rocket from NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia.
Although the ultimate goal of the PhoneSat mission was to determine
whether a consumer-grade smartphone can be used as the main flight
avionics for a satellite in space, the three miniature satellites used
their smartphone cameras to take pictures of Earth and transmitted
these "image-data packets" to multiple ground stations. Every packet
held a small piece of "the big picture." As the data became available,
the PhoneSat Team and multiple amateur ham radio operators, who call
themselves "hams," pieced together a high-resolution photograph from
the tiny data packets.
"During the short time the spacecraft were in orbit, we were able to
demonstrate the smartphones' ability to act as satellites in the space
environment," said Bruce Yost, the program manager for NASA's Small
Satellite Technology Program. "The PhoneSat project also provided an
opportunity for NASA to collaborate with its space enthusiasts.
Amateur radio operators from every continent but Antarctica
contributed in capturing the data packets we needed to piece together
the smartphones' image of Earth from space.”
As part of their preparation for space, the smartphones were outfitted
with a low-powered transmitter operating in the amateur radio band.
They sent the image information to awaiting hams who worked with the
Ames engineers to stitch together multiple, tiny images to restore the
complete Earth view.
Piecing together the photo was a very successful collaboration between
NASA's PhoneSat team and volunteer amateur ham radio operators around
the world. NASA researchers and hams working together was an excellent
example of Citizen Science, or crowd-sourced science, which is
scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or
non-professional scientists. On the second day of the mission, the
Ames team had received over 200 packets from amateur radio operators.
"Three days into the mission we already had received more than 300
data packets," said Alberto Guillen Salas, an engineer at Ames and a
member of the PhoneSat team. "About 200 of the data packets were
contributed by the global community and the remaining packets were
received from members of our team with the help of the Ames Amateur
Radio Club station, NA6MF.”
The mission successfully ended Saturday, April 27, 2013, after
predicted atmospheric drag caused the PhoneSats to re-enter Earth's
atmosphere and burn up.
“The NASA PhoneSat Team would like to acknowledge how grateful we are
to the amateur radio community for contributing to the success of this
mission,” said Oriol Tintore, an engineer and a member of the PhoneSat
Team at Ames who participated in the picture data processing.
The PhoneSat project is a technology demonstration mission funded by
NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters and
the Engineering Directorate at NASA Ames Research Center. The project
started in summer 2009 as a student-led collaborative project between
Ames and the International Space University, Strasbourg.
These results will encourage further research into applying low-cost
terrestrial technologies to space applications and also may open space
to a whole new generation of commercial, academic and citizen-space
users, according to Yost.

Sucsessful Contacts
+ Bates College Museum of Art, Lewiston, ME, telebridge via IK1SLD
A succesfull International Space Station school contact has been
completed with participants at Bates College Museum of Art, Lewiston,
ME on 23 Apr. The event began at 14:38:47 UTC and lasted
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact was a telebridge
between OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact should be audible over Italy
and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on
the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in
English.
In an arrangement proposed by the Bates College Museum of Art in
conjunction with our 2012 exhibition Starstruck: The Fine Art of
Astrophotography, local 8th Grade students comp,leted a talk with
astronauts on the International Space Station, through the Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station program (ARISS). Students
from the Auburn and Lewiston middle schools took part in the live
radio communication. Members of ARISS were excited by how our
project brought the world of art and creativity into a program aimed
at science, technology, engineering and math classrooms. To prepare
for the contact, students visited the exhibition as part of their
space science unit, researched comets and geomagnetic storms, modeled
the solar system, explored citizen-science projects like Galaxy Zoo,
and, using NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day as a model, researched
Starstruck images and wrote paragraphs explaining their significance.
It is gratifying to see an art exhibition ignite so much interest in
such a wide variety of subjects, and especially to see a
reunification of art and science achieved through this exhibition and
the ARISS program.
Senators Angus King and Susan Collins and Congressman Michael
Michaud were invited to attend the event.
+ Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik (MUI), Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Canada
A successful International Space Station school contact was
completed with participants at Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik (MUI), Rankin
Inlet, Nunavut, Canada and Chris Hadfield, KC5RNJ/VA3OOG on station
OR4ISS on 25 Apr. The event began at 14:34 UTC, and lasted
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact was a telebridge
between OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact was audible over Italy and
adjacent areas and was conducted in English.
Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik (MUI) is located in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut
(Population Approximately 3000) on the North west side of Hudson Bay.
It is one of three schools in the Rankin Inlet system and hosts
grades 7 - 12. The current Maani Ulujuk building is approximately 32
years old and is the second of two buildings with the same name; the
first being destroyed by fire. MUI was named after an Elder (Maani
Ulujuk), who at the time of its naming, was the oldest elder in the
community. There are 353 students, 24 teachers, 6 Student Support
Assistants, 1 Secretary, 1 School Community Counsellor and 2
caretakers.
Even though we don't have a space club, we do have a vibrant Science
program which hosts a science fair annually and students have been
exposed to the space program in the curriculum. Students and staff
were excited last year when we were slated to do a space hookup in
April; however, it did get cancelled and we are pleased that it is on
again for this year.
Students at MUI are great young leaders and they love to participate
in novel events such as contacting the astronauts on the Space
Station. This will be an awesome event and we look forward to
participating.

+ Small meteoroid causes 'bullet hole' in ISS solar panel
Making his photographic rounds of the Earth and the space around the
International Space Station today, Commander Chris Hadfield captured
one picture that inspires a bit more alarm than awe.
Just down and left from the centre of the image, there's a bright
spot on one of the solar panels, that was caused by a small object,
probably a meteoroid, flying through the panel.

+ The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS)
CASIS Academy is an interactive learning website created to educate
middle school students about the ISS and to pique their interest
through multimedia videos and features.
The website incorporates multiple sections, including breakthroughs
resulting from ISS research, a tour of the station and interactive
definitions of key terminology.
Statistically, U.S. students are most likely to lose interest in
science fields while in the middle grades. CASIS Academy targets
students at this critical age, using the excitement of space as a
tool to maintain and improve interest in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers.
"The unveiling of CASIS Academy highlights a core function of our
organization: advocating the ISS National Lab as a STEM-learning
platform," said CASIS Interim Executive Director Jim Royston.
"Educating students on the innovative advances that have come from
ISS exploration and the opportunities that exist in microgravity will
inspire today's students to pursue careers in science and engineering
tomorrow."
CASIS decided to unveil CASIS Academy at the National Science
Teachers Association conference in San Antonio, Texas, due to the
abundance of science educators in attendance.
For more information, please visit
www.casisacademy.org.
Educator resources complementing CASIS Academy, aligned to support
national education standards, can be found at

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 re-
peater 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.

Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear
U: Linear
Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml
(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 re-
peater 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.

GS3PYE/p Satellite Operation Planned From Inner Herbrides Islands
Members of the Camb-Hams will once again activate the Isle of Mull
(IOSA NH15, SCOTIA CN10, WLOTA 2485), Inner Hebrides, as GS3PYE/p
between May 10-16. The Camb-Hams have been activating the Scottish
Isles each year since 2008.
Look for thirteen operators to be active on all bands and many modes
from 160-2 meters as well as 472 kHz. The HF bands will be covered by
five simultaneous stations, while 6m, 4m and 2m stations will have a
great take-off towards the UK and Europ from the island's south-east
coast in IO76 square.
They will have an antenna elevation system for 2m EME activity and
will also be on many of the VHF/UHF satellite passes. WSPR beacons
will be operating on most of the inactive bands to help find the best
propagation. Contest operations will take place in 70 MHz CW on May
12th and 432 MHz UKAC on May 14th. The group will be active on the
major social networks before, during and after the trip.
You can check on progress or interact with the operators via their
blog at <dx.camb-hams.com> or through Twitter <twitter.com/g3pye>,
Facebook <facebook.com/CambHams> and YouTube <youtube.com/CambHams>.
Previous trips have generated some great audio and video recordings of
the GS3PYE/P signal from around the world. Check their previous blogs
and their YouTube channel and see if you can post a better recording.
Please E-mail <skeds-2013(a)camb-hams.com> to arrange skeds on the more
challenging bands and modes. VHF and EME skeds will also be made via
ON4KST and N0UK's EME Chat. All links are available via

STEREO Space Weather Beacons Now Using AMSAT-DL Turbo Code
On 2nd April 2013, the two NASA STEREO space-based observatories
switched to Turbo Codes to transmit their real-time space weather data
permanently. A network of four ground stations, located at the IUZ in
Bochum/Germany, CNES in Toulouse/France, NICT in Koganei/Japan and
amateur radio station DL0SHF in Kiel-Ronne/Germany receives this data,
and uses turbo-decoding software written by AMSAT-DL.
The Bochum station is run by AMSAT-DL e.V. and IUZ Bochum Observatory,
with the support of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology
and DLR.
Said Doug Biesecker, NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center:
"Thanks to the wonderful work of our colleagues running the station in
Bochum and the support of DLR, we can now be sure of receiving
real-time data from the NASA/STEREO satellite throughout the life of
the mission. The STEREO data has proven to provide significant
benefits to space weather forecasting and is used by NOAA on a daily
basis to ensure the best possible forecasts. Space weather
increasingly threatens the technological infrastructure of our modern
world, with demonstrated impacts on global positioning, power grids,
and high frequency communication systems."
The switch to Turbo Codes has improved reception capabilities of the
ground stations by about 2 dB, which is a very welcome improvement
giving the increasing distances - 269 and 286 million kilometers
respectively - that need to be covered.

Applications for Teachers Institute, ETP Grants Due by May 15
Attention, teachers who are thinking about using Amateur Radio and
wireless technology in their classrooms to help facilitate hands-on
learning opportunities. The ARRL’s Education & Technology Program
(ETP) offers two programs that can help make this happen, but the
application deadlines are fast approaching: The deadline for the 2013
Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology (TI) is May 15, while the
deadline for equipment and resource grants was May 1.
Teachers Institute on Wireless Technology
Seats are still available for the two introductory Teachers
Institute (TI-1) sessions offered this summer, one at ARRL
Headquarters in Newington, Connecticut (July 8-11) and one in
Rocklin, California (July 15-18). These four-day intensive
professional development seminars provide training and resources for
introducing basic electronics, the science of radio, space technology
and satellite communications, weather science, microcontroller
fundamentals and basic robotics into classroom instruction. The
curriculum is designed for motivated teachers who want to learn more
about wireless technology and share that knowledge with their
students. Resources, travel, and room and board expenses are provided
by donations to the Education & Technology Program Fund.
The ETP is also offering an advanced Teachers Institute (TI-2)
session that focuses on the basic electronics behind sensor
technology. Teachers will receive instruction in the use of a
selection of sensors (such as temperature, pressure, position and
humidity), analog-to-digital conversion techniques, the
microcontroller programming involved in accessing the sensors and the
use of radio (packet radio-like data links) that connect the sensor
outputs to the user. Participants will also explore numerous
deployment systems that they might use in their classrooms, including
land and water robots, buoys, balloons and satellites. This four-day
professional development workshop is sponsored by Dayton Amateur
Radio Association and is held in Dayton, Ohio (July 22-25).
The deadline for both the TI-1 (Connecticut and California) and TI-2
(Ohio) sessions is May 15. Apply now!
http://www.arrl.org/teachers-institute-application
Equipment and Resource Grants
ETP grants for school radio stations are awarded to schools that
provide a plan for using Amateur Radio as part of an enrichment
program and/or as part of in-classroom learning. Find more
information, as well as applications for a School Station Grant or
for a Progress Grant, on the ETP Grants web page
http://www.arrl.org/etp-grants.
The deadline for applications was May 1.

Ken Pulfer, VE3PU, SK
Avid ARISS supporter, Ken Pulfer, VE3PU, has become a Silent Key.
Those of you that have been involved with ARISS from the beginning
know that Ken was one of the ARISS pioneers. Ken was a member of the
first cadre of ARISS delegates and was integral in leading the
startup of ARISS.
Ken’s intimate knowledge of the space agencies, resulting from his
background as a Senior Executive in the Canadian Space Agency, was
crucial in helping ARISS formulate the strategies needed to garner
support across our international space agency partners. Also, his in-
depth understanding of amateur radio policy and connections into the
ITU were important factors in helping the ARISS team prepare
themselves to develop and operate the unique, multi-national amateur
radio platform on ISS that is ARISS. He was a key contributor in
guiding the ARISS team in frequency coordination, licensing and
callsign strategy. He also was integral in developing ARISS’ terms
of reference, our policy for assigning delegates, and he led the
effort to nominate and elect our first set of officers. I, for one,
will certainly miss Ken’s leadership and guidance. He helped the
ARISS program grow from infancy to the strong, international
Educational Outreach program that it is now.
I note that even just a few weeks ago Rosalie White, K1STO and I
solicited Ken’s guidance on some ITU matters that our ARISS
international team were addressing. In all matters, Ken was a
“Gentleman’s Gentleman”---the “best of the best. ” His presence and
support will be sorely missed by me. And by all in the ARISS
community.
On behalf of the ARISS team, I want to extend our condolences to all
Ken Pulfer’s family and friends. May Ken Rest in Peace.

(WFF) in eastern Virginia scheduled for April 17 at approximately 5:00
p.m. (EDT).
Phonesat carries an amateur radio payload on 437.425 MHz, was chosen
as one of the winners in the Aerospace category for the Popular
Science magazine "Best of What's New 2012" awards. The PhoneSat is a
technology demonstration mission consisting of three 1U CubeSats
intended to prove that a smartphone can be used to perform many of the
functions required of a spacecraft bus.
The satellite is built around the Nexus smartphone which will be
running the Android operating system and will be enclosed in a
standard 1U cubesat structure. The main function of the phone is to
act as the Onboard Computer, but the mission will also utilize the
phone's SD card for data storage, 5MP camera for Earth Observation,
and 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer for attitude
determination.
One of the nanosatellites, powered by the HTC Nexus One smartphone,
will send back pictures of Earth. The other two, running on the
Samsung Nexus S, will have two-way S-band radio allowing them to be
controlled from Earth.
With a short lifetime of only about one week, the satellites have no
solar cells and operate on battery only.
An article on SpaceRef.com describes the Antares test flight, dubbed
the A-ONE mission, as the first of two missions Orbital is scheduled
to conduct in 2013 under its Commercial Orbital Transportation
Services (COTS) Space Act Agreement with NASA. Following a successful
A-ONE launch, Orbital will carry out a full flight demonstration of
its new Antares/Cygnus cargo delivery system to the International
Space Station (ISS) around mid-year. In addition, the company is also
scheduled to launch the first of eight operational cargo resupply
missions to the ISS in 2013 under the Commercial Resupply Services
(CRS) contract with NASA. All COTS and CRS flights will originate from
NASA's WFF, which is geographically well suited for ISS missions and
can also accommodate launches of scientific, defense and commercial
satellites to other orbits. The Antares medium-class launch system
will provide a major increase in the payload launch capability that
Orbital can provide to NASA, the U.S. Air Force and other customers.
(Reference: http://spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=40502)
The Antares launch includes the commercial DOVE-1 satellite, a
technology development experiment. The satellite had requested IARU
coordination for a 1 watt transmitter on 145.825 MHz to downlink a
1200 baud AFSK AX.25 beacon with telemetry and health data. The IARU
reported in January that DOVE-1 will no longer be using frequencies in
the amateur radio bands based on information posted on the IARU
satellite coordination web page for this mission. (Reference: ANS-027

PhoneSat Tracking Help Requested
The very first PhoneSat’s will be launching aboard the Antares on
April 17th at 1700 EDT (launch window to April 19th possibly
further). We have manifested 2x PhoneSat 1.0 and 1x PhoneSat 2.0 Beta
The orbit is very low (270km x 300km 51.6deg) and they will only be
up there for 2 weeks! The phonesat team is looking for as many people
as possible to help with tracking their satellites. All three
satellites will be transmitting on 437.425MHz and TLE’s + more info
can be found at www.phonesat.org

STRaND-1 signal reports requested
Dr Chris Bridges from the Surrey Space Centre has advised that the
amateur radio beacon on their STRaND-1 CubeSat, the first UK CubeSat
became intermittent over the Easter weekend. STRaND-1, was launched
on February 25 at 1231 UT on the PSLV-C20 rocket from the Indian
Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Satish Dhawan space centre. Both
Mike Rupprecht DK3WN and Nader Omer ST2NH have reported that no
signals have been heard since Sunday.
Radio amateurs are asked to listen for STRaND-1 transmitting a 9k6
bps AX.25 signal around 437.568 MHz (+/- Doppler) over the next few
days. Please report any positive results to

Merritt Island High School Mission Selected for NASA Cubesat Launch
Initiative
Information Week published news of the Merritt Island High School
team who developed StangSat.
The fourth round of selections in NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative
also included a team of high school students at the Merritt Island
High School in Brevard County, Florida. They plan to build a cubesat
containing two accelerometers to measure the amount of vibration in
the Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer, or P-POD case that holds the
cubesats during launch and then deploys them.
The high school is partnering with students at California
Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. The Cal-Poly
CubeSat, dubbed CP9, is actually two cubes that contain
accelerometers, plus a radio to transmit data back to Earth for the
high school students to analyze. The Merritt Island High School
cubesat, named StangSat, will stream data to the CP9 in real time
during the launch using Wi-Fi.
“We’re going to be demonstrating that wireless transmissions inside
the P-POD aren’t going to harm the launch,” said Adam Darley, a
senior at Cal-Poly who is serving as the CP9 project manager. “If we
can demonstrate that, then it will act as a platform to being able to
stream information without a radio link.”
The Merritt Island High School Cubesat team has more information and
photos posted on their Facebook page.

Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear
U: Linear

(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 re-
peater 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-NA Working on Coordination Issues with Experimental Satellites
Over the past several months events have caused the Federal Communications
Commission's (FCC) to more closely evaluate whether many of the small satellite
projects proposed for launch should continue to be operated as stations in the
Amateur-Satellite Service or instead be licensed as experimental stations.
Based on the FCC's review, they determined that many do not really fit as
Amateur projects and instead are requiring that the satellite developers obtain
experimental licenses while still allowing them to operate in bands
allocated to
the Amateur-Satellite Service.
This has generated concern by the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) with
regard to whether it is appropriate for their Satellite Advisory Panel to take
on the duty of coordinating what the FCC now views as non-amateur satellites.
The IARU Satellite Adviser and his panel will coordinate frequencies for
satellites to be licensed as experimental on an adhoc basis. The IARU Satellite
Adviser is working closely with the FCC to prioritize the coordination of
experimental satellites manifested on launches for the next few month.
Satellites licensed as amateur will not be affected and will be coordinated as
before. The IARU is urging administrations to take series steps to find
alternative allocations for experimental satellites and prioritize their
participation of preparation for agneda item at WRC-18 if not at WRC-15. "AMSAT
groups around the world are urged to work with their national societies and
regulators to resolve the situation", the IARU Satellite Adviser said.
AMSAT-NA is working with the ARRL to investigate long-term solutions
to this situation while also addressing the short-term need for satellites
already in the pipeline nearing launch.
AMSAT-NA recognizes the significant positive impact that the university cubesat
programs have provided to the amateur radio satellite community, including:
* Affordable launch opportunities as NASA and other government policies
encourage development of university satellite programs
* Encouraging students and staff to embrace amateur radio through obtaining
amateur radio licensees and establishing amateur radio ground stations
* Providing the potential for more amateur radio communications
satellites as
the Fox-1 design is made operational, allowing both experimental payloads
and amateur radio operations to be supported through a robust and
dependable RF design
AMSAT-NA is committed to continue working with the FCC, IARU and ARRL
to develop
plans and processes that will address the needs and concerns of the small
satellite community both short and long term.

2013 AMSAT Field Day Rules Posted On-Line
AMSAT Director Contests and Awards, Bruce Paige, KK5DO reminds
you that time of year is once again approaching - Field Day!
Each year the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) sponsors Field
Day as an emergency preparedness exercise. This year Field Day
is June 22-23, 2013.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) promotes its own
version of Field Day for operation via the amateur satellites,
held concurrently with the ARRL event.
With SO-50 being the only active FM satellite, Field Day this year
will be challenging. If you are considering ONLY the FM voice sat-
ellites for your primary AMSAT Field Day focus: Don't, unless you
are simply hoping to make one contact for the ARRL rules bonus
points.
The congestion on FM LEO satellites was so intense in prior years
that we must continue to limit their use to one-QSO-per-FM-satel-
lite. This includes the International Space Station if it is oper-
ational. You will be allowed one QSO if the ISS is operating Voice.
You will also be allowed one digital QSO with the ISS or any other
digital, non-store-and-forward, packet satellite (if operational).
If you have worked the satellites on Field Day in recent years, you
may have noticed a lot of good contacts can be made on the linear
transponder satellites including VUsat OSCAR 52, Fuji OSCAR 29, and
AMSAT OSCAR 7. During Field Day the transponders come alive like 20
meters on a weekend. The transponders on these satellites will sup-
port multiple simultaneous SSB or CW contacts.
The AMSAT Field Day 2013 event is open to all Amateur Radio opera-
tors. Amateurs are to use the exchange as specified in ARRL rules
for Field Day. The AMSAT competition is to encourage the use of all
amateur satellites, both analog and digital.
For the complete listing of the AMSAT Field Day Rules please refer
to the documents posted on-line at:

First Satellite Contact Between Cuba and Ireland on FO-29
Congratulations to Hector Martinez, CO6CBF and Joe Murphy, EI5EV for
completing the first satellite contact between Cuba and Ireland on
April 3, 2013 on FO-29.
The distance between CO6CBF and EI5EV is 6955.1 km. Both stations
had a 66 second window within the FO-29 footprint. Hector wrote,
"Doppler is always in play. We did the calculations based on the
great feature implemented on SatPC32 V12.8b using the option of see-
ing the frequency you are at the satellite receiver. This was our
common reference point. I was very satisfied when I heard Joe exact-
ly on the frequency I was expecting!"
Hector operated from on top of a tall building which improved his
horizon visibility toward Europe. He used a Yaesu FT-817ND trans-
ceiver, 30 watt power amplifier, and a homebrew Arrow with a home-
brew mast mounted amplifier. Everything was powered by two 12 volt,
7 amp gel cell batteries.
FO-29 is at apogee which has increased the size of its footprint
and improved chances for satellite DX contacts. Another example is
Bob, W7LRD (grid CN87) reported a successful contact with Boris,
UA0QJ (grid PP42) via FO-29 on March 26. The range between the two
stations is 6268 km.
Hector would like to set up schedules with satellite operators in
the FO-29 footprint. Please e-mail him at co6cbf[at]frcuba.co.cu.

NASA Seeks Academic Partners For Smallsat Technology Collaboration
[Credit: This article was first published on the Microcom Space
Newsfeed on April 2. This article can be accessed at:
http://tinyurl.com/Microcom-NASA-Collaboration (spacenewsfeed.co.uk)]
NASA is seeking small spacecraft technology project proposals from
U.S. colleges and universities that would like to collaborate with
agency researchers.
Small spacecraft, or smallsats, represent a growing field of space
research and operations in which universities often have led the
way in technology development. Smallsats, some of which are as small
as a four-inch cube, are not expected to replace conventional space-
craft, but sometimes can provide an alternative to larger, more
costly spacecraft. Smallsats can serve as platforms for rapid tech-
nology testing or specialized scientific research and exploration
not otherwise possible. Smallsats also can be developed relatively
quickly and inexpensively, and can share a ride to orbit with larger
spacecraft.
"This new opportunity will engage university students and graduate
researchers in advancing technology of value to NASA and the nation,
and help strengthen our high-tech work force," said Andrew Petro,
program executive for the Small Spacecraft Technology Program at
NASA Headquarters in Washington. "There is a vibrant small space-
craft community emerging within America's universities and NASA is
taking steps to increase our collaboration with that community. The
universities will benefit from the deep experience NASA has in
space research and technology, while NASA will benefit from fresh
ideas and cost-conscious innovation at the universities."
NASA expects to competitively select approximately 10 proposals.
Each team will form proposal partnerships with researchers from
any of NASA's field centers. Awards for each project will include
as much as $100,000 ($150,000 for teams of more than one school).
Proposals submitted in response to this NASA cooperative agreement
notice are due June 5.
In addition, NASA will fund the time for NASA employees to work
with each selected team. Project funding is for one year with the
potential to continue for a second year. Proposed projects could
include anything from laboratory work to advance a particular
spacecraft technology to flight testing of a new smallsat. For
example, projects might focus on a technology area such as propul-
sion, power or communications, or on a smallsat capability, such
as formation flight or satellite rendezvous.
The Small Spacecraft Technology Program is part of NASA's Space
Technology Mission Directorate, which is innovating, developing,
testing and flying hardware for use in NASA's future missions.

participants
at Sir George Simpson Jr. High, Albert, AB, Canada on 09 April. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 20:00 UTC. The duration of the contact is
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a
telebridge between
OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact should be audible over portions of Italy.
Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The
contact is expected to be conducted in English and French.
Sir George Simpson Public School is a junior high located in St. Albert,
Alberta. Currently, with approximately 540 students enrolled in a variety of
programs.
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants
at Innalik School, Inukjuak, Nunavut, Canada on 12 April. The event
is scheduled
to begin at approximately 17:30 UTC. The duration of the contact is
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a
telebridge between
OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact should be audible over portions of Italy.
Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The
contact is expected to be conducted in English, French, and Inuktitut.
Inukjuak is a remote, fly-in Inuit community located on the Hudson Bay in
Northern Quebec. Its population is approximately 1600. The Inuit of Inukjuak
still partake in many cultural practices, for example; constructing sleds or
harpoons, sewing traditional garments, training dogsled teams, hunting, fishing
and berry picking. However, they also have a window into the modern world and
are current on fashion trends, popular music, and breakout phenomena like
"Gangnam Style". The primary language in the school and in the village is
Inuktitut; English and French are secondary languages.
ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and
CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement
of Amateur
Radio by talking directly with crew-members on-board the International Space
Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio
and crew-members on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science,
technology,
and learning. Further information on the ARISS program is available on the
website http://www.ariss.org/ (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of
Canada).

New Swiss Small Satellite Launch System
Swiss Space Systems – S3 a new Swiss aerospace company, was
officially inaugurated in Payerne on Thursday, March 14, in the
presence of representatives of the national authorities and of
prestigious Swiss and international partners such as the ESA,
Dassault Aviation, the Von Karman Institute, Sonaca, Meggitt and
Stanford University. S3 aims to develop, build, certify and operate
suborbital space shuttles dedicated to launching small satellites,
enabling space access to be made more democratic thanks to an
original system with launching costs reduced to a quarter of the
present cost. The first test launches are planned to be carried out
by the end of 2017.
The Swiss Space Systems launch model uses an Airbus A300, an
aircraft already certified for zero gravity flights, to take the
shuttle up to 10,000m on its back; the shuttle will then be launched
from there. Combining the internal architecture developed by the
French company Dassault for Hermes with the external architecture
developed by the Belgian companies Sonaca and Space Application
Services will develop the shuttle. Discussions are at an advanced
stage concerning the engine supplier. The shuttle-drone will take
care of the next part of the ascent up to an altitude of 80km, the
height at which the upper stage will be launched in order to put the
satellites into orbit. Once this operation has been completed, the
shuttle will return to earth by gliding towards its launch airport,
where it will be taken care of by the maintenance teams who will
prepare it for a new launch.
S3 say agreements have already been signed for four launches for the
Von Karman Institute.
