Actual launch vehicle select- ions are dependent on the availability of auxiliary payload space and on what orbits are required. AMSAT VP Engineering Tony Monteiro reports that he has been in conversation with NASA about our orbital preferences/priorities and we're awaiting a response from NASA as to a specific launch selection. In the meantime, the engineering team expects to complete Fox-1 in 2013 and have RadFxSat ready in the 2nd half of 2014 in order to take advantage of launch opportunities that may be offered by NASA. Fox-1 and the RadFxSat missions are based on similar system architecture. Both satellites: + Include a U/V (mode B) FM analog transponder. Its 2 meter down link should be even easier to hear than AO-51. + Are designed so you can work it with just a dual-band HT and an "arrow" hand-held antenna. + Will send telemetry on the voice downlink in the frequencies below the audible band as low-speed FSK with forward error correction. + Will support a high speed digital data mode. + A free telemetry decode program, FoxTLM, will be available to decode and display the low-speed telemetry and the high speed data downlink on Fox-1. An update will be provided for RadFxSat. + All Fox cubesats are designed to host advanced science pay- loads to support future science missions that help us to continue qualify for NASA ELaNa (free) launches. AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW summarized the Fox cubesat program, "Although we are subject to the same launch constraints as every other satellite builder accepted in the Cubesat Launch Initiative, we will be ready for a launch opportunity when it is offered. As soon as we know when we're manifested that information will be shared with our members." [ANS thanks the Fox Engineering Team and AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT.ORG Web Site Testing On-Line Now The web development team, working on the recovery of the AMSAT-NA web at http://www.amsat.org, reports the site is becoming active with testing of the system. As testing proceeds visitors to AMSAT's site will begin to see restoration of prior functionality and in- troduction of new features where appropriate. AMSAT VP User Services Gould Smith, WA4SXM said, "Our web team is making good progress in the restoration of popular features our users counted on in the past. This also gives us an opportunity to review some of the older content to prioritize in what order the system is brought back up." Although the pages seem sparsely populated at present, soon the entire web presence will assume a new look-and-feel with additional functionality, restored features, background graphics templates and overall look-and-feel. A site map feature is planned for development allowing quick navigation of the site's future multiple features. Clicking on "SAT STATUS" on the top of the new page will bring you to the Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page which currently resides at http://oscar.dcarr.org/. The roll-out of the Fox Project web pages can be accessed with a click on the menu bar at the top of the home page. Gould noted, "With the introduction of AMSAT's new web technology we plan to use a new content management system to roll out import- ant and and breaking satellite news via the web page as soon as our volunteers have the chance to post them." Continuing, Gould said, "We will still maintain our existing distribution via the AMSAT News Service so e-mail subscribers will not need to change anything. The ANS bulletins will still arrive in your in-box once a week." You are invited to view the prototyping work in-progress on the new AMSAT-NA web. Use the URL http://www.amsat.org. If you have prior cache entries or bookmarks set to www.amsat.org/amsat-new those will no longer work.

Prince Edward Island, Canada ---------------------------- A successful ARISS contact was completed with the Stonepark Inter- mediate School, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, on Thursday, March 7. The contact was be direct between NA1SS and VY2PEI. Grade 9 students at Stonepark Intermediate, Charlottetown, PEI preparing for their contact with the International Space Station through a number of in class activities, research and guest speak- ers. In the past three months they researched life on the ISS and watched YouTube segments of various facets of the ISS. Any news stories featuring Chris Hadfield and the ISS were read and discus- sed. The students attended sessions by a local university professor of engineering who worked for NASA and local amateur radio oper- ators. Both sessions gave students insight into the workings ISS, NASA and the ham radio. France ------ A successful ARISS contact was completed with the Lycée Polyvalent Anatole France, Cedex, France on March 9. The contact was direct between OR4ISS and F4KIS. Anatole France is a French high school located in Lillers, a small town in the center of the Pas-de-Calais department. There are about 850 students aged between 15 and 20 years old. The science teachers and the local amateur radio club F6KIS, which became in 2010 the "Artois Lys Radio Club", have developed a partnership since 2007 collaborating on projects to send sounding balloons into the strat- osphere. This year, they are working with a group of students to contact the ISS. The students are preparing the TPE project for their final exam. They need to define the subject of their research, find information about it and run experiments over a period of six months in order to give an oral presentation of their work in front of a jury.

AMSAT NEWS SERVICE ANS-062 ANS is a free, weekly, news and information service of AMSAT North America, The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. ANS reports on the activities of a worldwide group of Amateur Radio operators who share an active interest in designing, building, launching and communicating through analog and digital Amateur Radio satellites. Please send any amateur satellite news or reports to: ans-editor(a)amsat.org In this edition: * Vanderbilt-AMSAT RadFxSat Cubesat Selected for NASA ELaNa Program * AMSAT Shows New President’s Club Pin * 5th European CubeSat Symposium, 3-5 June 2013, Brussels - Belgium * American satellite starts transmitting after being abandoned in 1967 * STRaND-1 Information and Telemetry * ARISS NEWS * AMSAT-DC Workshop on Portable Satellite Ground Stations * AMSAT Forum at ACADIANA ARA Hamfest - Free Admission Coupons for Youth * Korean OSSI-1 Ham Radio CubeSat Frequency Coordinated * ARRL Offers Two Sessions of their Teachers Institute SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-062.01 ANS-062 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 062.01 >From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. DATE, 2013 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-062.01 Vanderbilt-AMSAT RadFxSat Cubesat Selected for NASA ELaNa Program On February 26th, NASA announced the winning projects for the fourth round of their CubeSat Launch Initiative. Project Selection was based on technical feasability and the assessed merit for conducting technology demonstrations, STEM education, and science research. These selected projects are eligible for a free launch on NASA Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions as auxiliary payloads on launches planned for 2014, 2015 and 2016. The 24 winning cubeSat proposals came from universities, a Florida high school, non-profit organizations and NASA field centers. AMSAT partnered with the Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE) at Vanderbilt University to develop our winning proposal. The official name of the project is RadFxSat and we were selected at priority 15 out of the 24 winners. AMSAT and ISDE plan to fly a Fox-1 type satellite with a sophisticated space radiation effects experiment to be developed by ISDE. This experiment is intended to improve computer modeling of radiation effects and help improve the survivability of modern semiconductor devices in the harsh radiation environment of earth orbit. AMSAT is especially interested in this area of science research since it affects our ham radio satellites. This project also represents an exciting "first" for AMSAT with the satellite's primary mission being science research. We believe that partnering on science and education missions will open up new launch opportunities for AMSAT satellites in the future. Of course, RadFxSat also carries the same ham radio FM transponder as Fox-1 but on a different frequency pair. We believe we will have enough power to run the FM transponder simultaneously with the science mission most of the time. The transponder capability was an important component of our NASA ELaNa proposal since it enhances the opportunities for formal science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education via "hands-on" school activites using an actual communications satellite. It also allows informal groups such as the boy scouts, girl scouts and ham radio clubs to introduce radio and satellite communications to our young people. AMSAT aims to show that STEM education can be exciting and fun!

An Amateur Radio Astronomer in North Cornwall accidentally picked up the signal and after cross checking with various lists, has identified it as LES1 built by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and launched in 1965. The satellite failed to reach its intended orbit owing to a wiring error and has been drifting out of control ever since. Phil Williams G3YPQ from near Bude noticed its peculiar signal drift caused by its tumbling end over end every 4 seconds as the solar panels become shadowed by the engine. ‘This gives the signal a particularly ghostly sound as the voltage from the solar panels fluctuates’ Phil says. It is likely that the on board batteries have now disintegrated and some other component failure has caused the transmitter on 237Mhz, to start up when its in sunlight. LES1 is about the size of a small car, It is not likely to re-enter the atmosphere for a long time as the orbit is still relatively high. It poses no threat other than that caused by the thousands of other pieces of space junk in orbit. Phil says its remarkable to think that electronics built nearly 50 years ago, 12 years before Voyager 1, and long before microprocessors and integrated circuits, is still capable of working in the hostile environs of space. Listening to the signal you can easily imagine the craft tumbling over and over every 4 seconds and the transmitter starting up as the sun rises. He refers to the hobby as ‘Radio-Archeology’! [ANS thanks Phil Williams G3YPQ and Southgate ARN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- STRaND-1 Information and Telemetry STRaND-1 carries an amateur radio AX.25 packet radio downlink on 437.568 MHz using 9600 bps FSK modulated data with HDLC frame, NRZI encoding. Free satellite tracking software: • SimpleSat Look Down http://www.amsat-uk.org/?p=8217 • Gpredict http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/ • Orbitron http://www.amsat-uk.org/?p=9051 Dr Chris Bridges would be delighted to receive all available telemetry files by email to C.P.Bridges(a)surrey.ac.uk Mark Hammond N8MH has provided these tips to decode STRaND-1: (1) Sprint-2 TNC set at 9600 baud in KISS mode (or any 9600 TNC in KISS mode probably) (2) Using this software to capture http://www.dk3wn.info/files/online_kiss_plus.zip (3) And using this software to decode the captured KISS files http://www.dk3wn.info/files/kissdump.zip Thanks to Mike Rupprecht DK3WN for the excellent software. Jan PE0SAT describes how he used the free TNC emulator software AGWPE and SDR# to decode the telemetry. This approach means you don’t have to buy a dedicated hardware TNC it simply uses your existing PC and radio that supports 9600 bps data: (1) Record a pass using SDR# and a FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and save the IQ wav file so you can work with it after the pass. (2) Configure AGW Packet Engine (AGWPE) as a 9600 baud modem using your audio mixer as input. If you don’t have an audio mixer, use audio VAC to route the received audio to the AGW audio input. (3) When the AGW packet engine is running use AGW-Online-KISS from DK3WN to connect to the packet engine and decode the telemetry. (4) Open the IQ wav file within SDR# and playback the recorded file and tune to the correct receive frequency, now you can see decoded data within Online-Kiss. (5) Feed the files captured to KISS-Dump Descriptions of ONLINE KISS +, AGW ONLINE KISS and KISS Dump + are at http://tinyurl.com/SatSoftwareDK3WN/ The free AGWPE soundcard packet software AGWPE.zip is available at http://www.sv2agw.com/downloads/ Guide on how to use AGWPE http://www.soundcardpacket.org/ Latest Keps for the objects from the PSLV-C20 launch.

It will be a nearly all-day event. This is a workshop for those who wish to learn more about satellite operations and develop their own portable ground station. Partici- pants will bring their wares to assemble, show, and explain to others that which will feature one or more of the following: + One's own laptop computer, with appropriate software installed, such as for satellite tracking, SDR receiver control, antenna control (optional), audio recording, time stamp track, and any of many other apps. + The FUNcube Dongle Pro receiver or equivalent. We will emphasize receiving only, and not the transmit side at this particular time. + One or more antennas for 146 MHz and 436 MHz, Arrow, Elk, or homebrew on a camera tripod, small mast, homebrew PVC, or hand- held. + Everything, or almost everything, ought to be designed to be powered from a regulated 12-volt DC source of your choosing. A table will be provided with a shared 120VAC wall outlet with- in about 50 feet. Volunteers are invited to join the planning committee (contact Pat at n8pk at amsat.org.) Registration information will be announced by February 15 via the AMSAT News Service (ANS), and on the AMSAT Cal- endar of Events under http://www.amsat.org The workshop cost is expected to be low (for incidental items) or free to AMSAT members. Any non-US citizen who would like to attend must contact Pat by February 15 at the latest. To volunteer or ask questions contact Pat at n8pk at amsat.org.

Artist and radio amateur Hojun Song DS1SBO has spent 7 years developing his Open Source Satellite Initiative satellite OSSI-1. He has designed and developed it from scratch using readily available components rather than expensive space qualified hardware. It has a beacon in the 145 MHz band, a data communications transceiver in the 435 MHz band and carries a 44 watt LED optical beacon to flash Morse Code messages to observers on Earth. OSSI-1 is planned to launch on April 19, 2013 into a 575 km 64.9° inclination orbit on a Soyuz-2-1b rocket from the Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan along with the Bion-M1, SOMP, BEESAT 2, BEESAT 3 and Dove-2 satellites. The IARU amateur satellite frequency coordination panel has announced frequencies for a downlink on 145.980 MHz and an uplink/downlink on 437.525 MHz.

("AMSAT") signed a Collaboration Agreement on February 4, 2013 that establishes a relationship for future projects in the development of space hardware, software, algorithms, documentation of same and an agreement to protect each other by protecting ITAR-covered materials and identifying same for the other. The agreement was signed by AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW and Virginia Tech Assistant Vice President for Sponsored Programs Administration John Rudd. The Agreement establishes a relationship that will allow both organizations to work together on future space mission opportunities as may arise. VT established the Center for Space Science and Engineering (Space@VT) in 2007 and with completion of the new Center for Space Science and Engineering Research Facility in 2012, has facilities for development of space hardware and cubesat development. Programmatic and technical coordination and direction will be coordinated between Dr. Robert W. McGwier ,PhD of Virginia Tech and Anthony Monteiro, AA2TX AMSAT's VP-Engineering. "Establishment of a formal relationship between VT and AMSAT provides the foundation for potential future satellite program opportunities for AMSAT as well as enhances prospects for AMSAT support of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education outreach" notes AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW. "Space@VT recognizes the success that AMSAT brings to building successful spacecraft and with the development of Fox-1, to bring reliable hardware in support of scientific payloads as well as enhance prospects for student projects to successfully fly in space. AMSAT benefits from a partner that will help provide justification for funding of spacecraft that supports amateur radio in space," he added. Virginia Tech Professor Bob McGwier, N4HY is looking forward to working with AMSAT on future projects. Bob remarked, "Being able to combine the student space science and engineering programs of Virginia Tech with AMSAT's long history of innovative technical development in spacecraft is a win-win for both parties. I look forward to working with AMSAT on projects that mutually benefit space science, student engineering programs, and the amateur radio community." [ANS thanks AMSAT President Barry Baines, WD4ASW, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming ARISS Contacts An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Soleado Elementary School, Ranchos Palos Verdes, CA on 25 Feb. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 19:53 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and KE6JPM. The contact should be audible over California and portions of the western U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English. Soleado Elementary School's mission is to educate each and every one of its students to their fullest potential while cultivating a lifelong love of learning. Named for its beautiful location in the hills of Rancho Palos Verdes, our school is proud of its rich cultural background, academic achievement, and involvement in extra-curricular activities. Our mascot, a rosy-cheeked sun, is an exceptionally fitting characterization of our school, which wraps our students in the arms of a caring and supportive community that nurtures development of the whole child. Founded in 1968, even Soleado's physical design embodies community and cooperation, with each core educational building housing five classrooms with one wall "open" to a shared "big room" in the center. The open classroom environment facilitates daily teacher collaboration and student interaction within and among grade levels, while "big rooms" allow for large group activities and foster a positive feeling of family among our students and staff. In addition to our strong sense of community and our open classroom model, another distinguishing characteristic of our school is its cultural and linguistic diversity. With 420 "Soleado Suns" this year in grades DK through 5, our student body encompasses families who come directly from 30 different countries speaking 21 languages. Other upcoming contacts: * 4th Dimotiko Scholeio Chaidariou, Chaidari (near Athens), Greece, direct via J41ISS Thu, 28Feb2013, 09:42 UTC * Talcott Mountain Science Center & Academy, Avon, CT, direct via W1TMS Thu, 28Feb2013 15:53 UTC 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). [ANS thanks David, AA4KN, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-DC Workshop on Portable Satellite Ground Stations REGISTER NOW for the AMSAT-DC Spring Workshop 2013. Those who wish to attend the "Workshop on Portable Satellite Ground Stations" on Saturday, March 23, must call Martha in advance at AMSAT headquarters at 301-589-6062 to receive a workshop registration number. Your unique registration number is your ticket to get in, starting NET 9:00 A.M. EST. There will be no registration at the door. The suggested donation for advanced registration and admission for non-members is $25. Registration for each AMSAT member who participates in the event and registers in advance is free. "The $25 USD donations collected by Martha will go directly to a worthy cause," says AMSAT Area Coordinator Pat Kilroy, "namely, to the AMSAT Fox Project." In lieu of the $25 suggested donation by non-members, one may apply for AMSAT membership with Martha at the standard rate and then receive a workshop registration number for free. The door to the Visitor Center auditorium at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland (ZIP Code 20771) will open for station set ups no earlier than 9:00 A.M. The program will officially begin at ten and run nearly all day continuously, easily to 4:00 P.M. or beyond. Participants are welcome to bring their own brown bag lunch. Drinks and condiments will be donated by fellow AMSAT members. The workshop program will be informal, with participants given the floor to show their wares and explain their operation. That is, one teaching one another the best practices, tools and techniques of successful satellite contacts. "Our program will be an experiment unto itself to gauge interest and to plan future AMSAT workshops. Feedback is always welcome," says Pat. All participants are encouraged to bring their wares to assemble, show and explain. To volunteer or ask questions contact Pat Kilroy, N8PK, at n8pk(a)amsat.org. [ANS thanks Pat Kilroy, N8PK, for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- US Airforce Upgrades SpaceTrack Website For Keplarian Orbital Data The following is the latest from Vandenburg: ************************************** We are pleased to announce the upgrade of www.Space-Track.org to add the look and functionality that matches what is now on https://beta.space-track.org. The bulk file downloads from our current Space-Track site will continue to be available to scripters for a limited time after the upgrade using established URLs. This upgrade will vastly improve how the Space-Track User community interacts with orbital element sets, the satellite catalog and conjunction data. With a robust Representational State Transfer (REST-ful) Application Programming Interface (API), scripters will be able to get the latest data available, customized for their purposes. Here are just a few of the new features that will become part of the upgraded www.Space-Track.org: - A streamlined and intuitive user interface that is easier to navigate and allows simple searches - A robust help and documentation section - "Favorites" lists to identify logical groupings of catalog objects that Users can monitor via the web interface or with the site's API If you have production scripts that currently use beta.space-track.org, we recommend that you change your scripts to point at www.Space-Track.org on or after 20 February 2013. If you have scripts that screen-scrape or download text/zip files from the current yellow-colored legacy www.Space-Track.org, they will continue to perform correctly for a few months, but we recommend that you quickly transition your scripts to take advantage of the new API. Documentation is available under "Help" to assist you, as well as the API query builder tool on the upgraded site. We have also started sharing information about Space-Track's new features on tumblr, facebook and twitter, so please engage us on your favorite social media platform. Our sites are http://space-track.tumblr.com, http://www.facebook.com/SpaceTrack and http://www.twitter.com/SpaceTrackOrg We understand that any significant upgrade has the potential to cause frustration for our user community and we apologize if this creates any adjustment problems for you. For help or clarification, please email us at admin(a)space-track.org. Thank you, The www.Space-Track.org Team [ANS thanks the Space-Track Team for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mission to Mars Announcement Expected Inspiration Mars Foundation, led by the first private space traveler, Dennis Tito, has announced they intend to make a major announcement next Wednesday, February 27th concerning a 501 day mission to Mars. The press release said the news conference next week would be "detailing its plans to take advantage of a unique window of opportunity to launch an historic journey to Mars and back in 501 days, starting in January 2018. This "Mission for America" will generate new knowledge, experience and momentum for the next great era of space exploration. It is intended to encourage all Americans to believe again, in doing the hard things that make our nation great, while inspiring youth through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and motivation." With the stated goal of "accelerating America's human exploration of space" one can surmise that the mission is a human mission to Mars. The other people who will take part in the news conference include: - Taber MacCallum, chief executive officer and chief technology officer of Paragon Space Development Corporation and crew member for two-year mission in Biosphere 2 - Dr. Jonathan Clark, associate professor of Neurology and Space Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and space medicine advisor for the National Space Biomedical Research Institute - Jane Poynter, president and chairwoman of Paragon Space Development Corporation and crew member for two-year mission in Biosphere 2 This kind of expertise in closed ecological life support systems lends credence to a human mission to Mars.

[ANS thanks the iHAB-9 Team for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Amateur Radio Participates in ISS Plasma Thrust Shadow Experiment On February 1, 2, 3, and on February 8, 9, 10 the Russian Central Research Institute of Machine Building (TSNIIMASH) conducted a space plasma experiment from the International Space Station to evaluate the shape of a "radio dead zone" which is expected to occur with the use of an on-board arcjet plasma source. Future space exploration plans to use electric thrusters. Integration of electric thrusters causes an electromagnetic compatibility side-effect when highly ionized exhaust plumes of the thrusters may scatter RF-signals producing large "dead" zone for communications. The SpEx Shadow experiment on the ISS activated an onboard arcjet source to inject a plasma plume in space. The amateur radio packet beacon operating on 145.825 MHz was activated to transmit a VHF sounding signal with time ticks. Due to refraction/scattering of the sounding signals in the exhaust plume, the shadow region would occur. Participating amateur radio stations noted the time tick to register loss of signal and re-acquisition of the 145.825 MHZ signal as the footprint caused by the plasma jet passed their geographic location. An example of the ISS SpEx Shadowing Beacon can be found on the DK3WN SatBlog website at: http://www.dk3wn.info: RS0ISS]CQ,qAR,SR5GK-3:]ARISS - International Space Station DK3WN]BEACON,RS0ISS*,qAR,SR5GK-3:SpEx SHADOW 20:30:57 *DL* 02-02-2013/ DK3WN]BEACON,RS0ISS*,qAR,SR5GK-3:SpEx SHADOW 20:30:39 *DL* 02-02-2013/ Additional details of the Shadowing Experiment are posted on the TSNIIMASH web site at: http://knts.tsniimash.ru/Shadow/en/Default.aspx [ANS thanks TSNIIMASH and Mike Rupprecht, DK3WN for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- CubeSats Form Asteroid Mining Exploration Fleet In an article posted on the SpaceDaily.com website, "Commercial Asteroid Hunters Announce Plans For New Robotic Exploration Fleet", Deep Space Industries claims it will send a fleet of asteroid- prospecting spacecraft out into the solar system to hunt for resources to accelerate space development to benefit Earth. These "FireFly" spacecraft utilize low-cost CubeSat components and get discounted delivery to space by ride-sharing on the launch of larger communications satellites. FireFlies with a mass of about 55 lb will first be launched in 2015 on journeys of two to six months. Starting in 2016, Deep Space will begin launching 70-lb DragonFlies for round-trip visits that bring back samples. The DragonFly expeditions will take two to four years, depending on the target, and will return 60 to 150 lb.

The variation of power available to PCSAT is inversely proportional to the "sun-to-orbitplane-angle" (viewable in Instantrack with the "E" and "D" keys. It is currently above 78 degrees. Once it went above about 65 degrees was our last successful commanding. Recovery did not work this period. But we learned enough to be more successful in the Fall. A "sun-to-orbitplane-angle" means PCsat's orbit is now over the day/night terminator meaning it is in full sun (no eclipses) with solar power coming in on the (weaker) side panels and little if any on the +Z face(best panel). Attitude is maintained by alignment with the Earth's magnetic field. It's the best time for a recovery (no eclipses to cause a reset), but the worst time for commanding. It is too weak to respond to the needed logon and 3 additional commands. Though it will be strong again as the sun angle improves (lower). Then it will have better sun on the +Z face for commanding, but then it will be doing Eclipses. And even though we can then command it to turn off unnecessary loads, it does not have enough time before the next eclipse to charge up enough to survive the next eclipse. What we did (re)learn is a condensed command method where we can put all 3 PCSAT low-power commands in a single packet (using the TNC's ^V pass character). That way, we only need a successful logon to complete the Restoration. 1) The CONNECT ACK. 2) The password challenge, 3) Then the command prompt. Then we can hit it with the full low-power command set and disconnect all in one packet which cancels the need for PCSAT to respond to each command separately. On the FIRST day available in full sun(our best shot), I not only got logged on, but completed all 3 requried functions. Then signals sounded so good, I got greedy and put in the another three (which also improves power budget, but not as much as the first three). Yep, I gambled and lost. It died on the last one! The next day I got all 3 in, and it died on the 3rdcommand due to a user packet I think. Days since, I have been unable to logon. Hence, end of this attempt period. In most attempts in the past (after successful logon) we would send one command at a time to give it a few seconds rest between each one. But these 3 commands then required 3 ACKS and 3 RESPONSES in addition to the 3 required to get logged. Those extra 6 packets kill it, especially if there was a user packet in there. Next time all we need are the 3 loggon responses. Also, next time, we will give users advance warning to QRT all transmissions when we are trying to command. Each one of their packets robs us of power we need to complete the command. I failed to warn everyone this time, and so we had some interference. As sun angle improves, You may continue to experiment with PCSAT during MIDDAY passes. That is when it is strongest (in the Northern Hemisphere), but do limit yourself to only attended operations so humans can actually contact humans, or if you are doing an unattended test, keep your transmissions to once every 2 minutes. That should let you get one good successful packet per pass. Which is the mission of PCSAT. See the downlink on http://pcsat.aprs.org There you can see the telemetry packets (list at the bottom of page) right now are rarely getting above 001 meaning typically a minute or so of life before it gets overloaded and resets back to 000. It is easy to visualize the relationship of the sun angle to the orbit plane and to see how that affects power budget given that our best panel (out of 5) is on the +Z face and that is magnetically aligned to point towards magnetic South. There is NO panel on the -Z which is why PCsat is rarely usable in the Southern Hemisphere (not planned, but just a result of it crashing in every eclipse). Just thought you would like to know what is going on with one of the oldest student projects in space that is still "semi-operational" for users.

This is the third mission within the European Space Agency’s Education Satellite Programme. Nine European universities will be working with the prime contractor ALMASpace, Italy, on the mission. Cranfield University in Bedfordshire will be supplying a small sail that will be deployed to demonstrate the de-orbiting of spacecraft at the end of the mission. The primary purpose of the AMSAT-UK payload is to provide a downlink telemetry that can be easily received by schools and colleges for educational outreach purposes. The data will be displayed in an attractive format and provide stimulation and encouragement for students to become interested in all STEM subjects in a unique way. The target audience is primarily students at both primary and secondary levels and the project includes the development of a simple and cheap “ground station” operating on VHF frequencies in the Amateur Satellite Service. This station is an omni-directional antenna feeding a FUNcube DonglePRO+ SDR receiver which will receive the signals direct from the satellite and transfer the data to specially developed graphical software running on any Windows laptop.

During this time there have been no significant changes apart from the gradual drift of the on-board clock. The satellite has been transmitting on a regular cycle of 10.35 days on followed by 10.35 days off. OSCAR-11 (AKA UoSAT-2 and UO-11) celebrated it's 28th birthday in space on 01 March! It was designed, built and launched within a period of six months, using commercially available 'off the shelf' components (COTS). Once again, congratulations to Professor Sir Martin Sweeting G3YJO, his team at the University of Surrey and the groups of radio amateurs who also contributed to the project. Good copy has been obtained obtained from decoded telemetry frames and many reports have been posted on the DCARR general satellite status website, The satellite continues to be subjected to eclipses during each orbit, resulting in weaker signals at those times. During the summer in the UK all passes were in sunlight, however the eclipses gradually returned during the autumn and now all evening passes are eclipsed and signals are significantly weaker than in the morning passes. The on-board clock gained 85 seconds during the year, which is comparable with the 60 seconds gain per year when the satellite was launched. There is however a large accumulated error of 308.54204 days slow. This was caused mainly by the clock stopping during eclipses, when there was also an unknown drain on the power supply. The units of the least significant digit correspond approximately to seconds (0.86 seconds actually). At the present time, while OSCAR-11 is operating in a predictable way, please DO NOT send reports or files by e-mail. However, could all listeners continue to enter their reports on the general satellite status website. This is a very convenient and easy to use facility, which shows the current status of all the amateur satellites, and is of use to everyone. Reports around the expected times of switch-on and switch-off are of special interest, especially for times 13:00 to 18:00 and 22:00 to 08:00 UTC, to when the satellite is out-of-range in the UK . The URL is http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php The VHF beacon frequency is 145.826 MHz. AFSK FM ASCII Telemetry. The satellite is operating in the default mode, controlled by the watchdog timer, with a cycle time of 20.7 days. 10.35 days on followed by 10.35 days off. An extended version of this report is available on my website, and new listeners to OSCAR-11 should read this for further information. The URL is www.g3cwv.co.uk/oscar11.htm . This page contains links to the report, a short audio clip to help you identify the satellite and a file of recent telemetry received. The website also contains an archive of news & telemetry data which is updated from time to time, and details about using a soundcard or hardware demodulators for data capture. There is also software for capturing data, and decoding ASCII telemetry. The easiest way to check whether OSCAR-11 is operational is to look at the General Satellite Status website http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php .

The spacecraft is being built for the UK Space Agency (UKSA) by Clyde Space and the launch will take place from Baikonur in Kazakhstan on a Soyuz-2 along with TechDemoSat-1. The newspaper reports that Clyde Space has announced plans for a base in the United States. UKube-1 will carry a set of AMSAT-UK FUNcube boards to provide an amateur radio 435/145 MHz linear transponder and a 1200 bps BPSK beacon for educational outreach [ANS thanks Trevor, M5AKA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Five new CubeSats hope for 2013 launch Five new CubeSats being developed in Taiwan, Vietnam and the United States are hoping to fly during 2013. PACE is the first nanosatellite developed the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) of Taiwan and has the objective to provide a platform for attitude control experiments in space. More Information is available at http://satellite.ncku.edu.tw/pace/en/home.htm TARO is a 2U CubeSat developed by the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) of Taiwan. TARO is the precursor of PACE satellite which was also developed by NCKU and has an objective to verify the function of sensors and actuators which have been used at PACE. More Information is available at http://satellite.ncku.edu.tw/pace/en/home.htm PicoDragon is a 1U CubeSat project intended to take low resolution earth images and to test on board systems. Planning to use two UHF transmitters. One 100mW CW beacon on 437.250 MHz and a 1k2 AFSK 800mW AX25 telemetry downlink. Commands will be uplinked on VHF. More Information is available at http://vnsc.org.vn/ United States, Alabama – ChargerSat-1. The primary mission is to perform a technology demonstration of gravity gradient stabilization, improved solar collection and improved horizon communications on a pico-satellite. This is the team’s first CubeSat and is a technology demonstration of their capabilities as students More Information is available at http://space.uah.edu/ United States, California – SNAPS. This spacecraft has dimensions of 25x113x113mm, has a mass of less than 0.5kg and is intended to image other CubeSats autonomously using H264 compression. The team is proposing a UHF downlink using 9k6 AFSK and will utilize Carpcomm ground stations. Planned for a SpaceX flight from Vandenberg AFB in April 2013 together with POPACS.

According to Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, AMSAT's Vice President for Human Spaceflight Programs, "...for some reason, our signals from the Service Module Kenwood D700 radio are much diminished. Our contact with Israel last Sunday had low audio levels, with good signals only near TCA. Our contact yesterday with the Hospital for Sick Children was even worse. Only one student was able to talk to Chris Hadfield before we lost the signal. The crew reports hearing the ground station well. Both these contacts were with our telebridge stations, some of the best out there. Also note that Chris Hadfield got on the IP Phone, immediately after the Hospital radio contact and answered all the student’s questions, using that communications medium. So, while not optimal, we were able to make both these ARISS events successful After the Hospital contact, we had a full court press to revise uplinks and procedures to use the Ericsson radio that was recently installed in the Columbus Module instead of the D700. This was worked well into the crew sleep period, with the procedures ready for the crew at wakeup. While we had not fully checked out the radio, we felt the benefits of using this system outweighed the risks of using the D700, given its recent past performance. Our contact with the Japan school, using the Columbus Module Ericsson radio was very successful. We plan to use it on the contacts planned for next week." + Contacts scheduled for this coming week ARISS is requesting listener reports for these 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.
