June 10, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-162.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Status of ISS Ham Radio Operations ISS Amateur Radio Project Engineer Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO reports the ARISS digipeater has changed frequency from 145.825 MHz (up/down) to 437.550 MHz (up/down). The same digi alias ARISS is still used. This change was started with the docking of the ESA Automated Trans- fer Vehicle (ATV). The ATV is an expendable, unmanned resupply space- craft delivering propellant, water, air, payloads and experimental supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Packet operations were moved to the Columbus Module UHF radio when the Kenwood D700 radio was recently powered off due to needing an additional air purifier to support the ATV. Normally the air puri- fier is located in the ATV but recent power support issues related to the ATV and ISS necessitated the system be relocated to the Ser- vice Module. The purifier is now using the power outlet that the Kenwood radio normally uses. The Russian team has agreed to briefly power the purifier off for the scheduled ARISS school events but then will re-activate the purifier right afterwards. This appears to be a long term impact as ATV is currently scheduled to depart from ISS in September. [ANS thanks Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Nominations Due This Friday, June 15 It is time to submit nominations for the upcoming open seats on the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors. A valid nomination requires either one current Member Society, or five current individual members in good standing, to nominate an AMSAT-NA member for the position. Three directors and two alternate directors have terms expiring this year. The director seats open for election are held by Tom Clark, K3IO; Lou McFadin, W5DID; and Gould Smith, WA4SXM. The alternate dir- ector seats open for election are held by Mark Hammond, N8MH and Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK. The three nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be seated as regular board members with two year terms. The two nom- inees receiving the next highest number of votes will be seated as alternate directors for one year. Written nominations, consisting of names, calls and individual signa- tures, should be mailed to: AMSAT-NA, 850 Sligo Ave #600, Silver Spring, MD, 20910. They must be received no later than June 15th. No other action is required. Nominations may also be made by electronic means including e-mail, FAX, or electronic image of a petition.

[ANS Thanks AMSAT Secretary Alan Biddle, WA4SCA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT 2012 Symposium Announcement and Second Call for Papers This is the second call for papers for the 2012 AMSAT Annual Meeting and Space Symposium to be held in Orlando, Florida on the weekend of October 26-28, 2012 at the Holiday Inn, Orlando Airport Hotel. Proposals for papers, symposium presentations and poster presenta- tions are invited on any topic of interest to the amateur satellite community: + Papers for publication in the Proceedings + Symposium Presentations + Poster Presentations + Equipment and Operating Demonstrations We request a tentative title of your presentation as soon as possible, with final copy to be submitted by October 1 for inclusion in the printed proceedings. Abstracts and papers should be sent to Dan Schultz, N8FGV, at n8fgv at amsat.org. The Symposium weekend will feature: + Space Symposium with Amateur Satellite Presentations + Operating Techniques, News, & Plans from the Amateur Satellite World + Board of Directors Meeting open to AMSAT members + Meet Board Members and Officers + Annual General Membership Meeting + Annual Banquet-Keynote Speaker and Door Prizes If you are interested in a Monday Trip (October 29) to the Kennedy Space Center please contact Martha via email: martha at amsat.org. The trip will include a round trip bus from the hotel and entrance to the Space Center. The cost will be about $100. This is a wonderful experience for those that haven't been and for those that have been multiple times. We need to get an idea of how many will participate to select the correct bus. Watch the AMSAT Symposium web pages for the latest updates: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/symposium/2012/index.php [ANS thanks Dan Schultz, N8FGV for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- SA AMSAT Update Reports That SumbandilaSat Recovery Work Continues SA AMSAT posted a report on their web (http://www.amsatsa.org.za/) there is still a recovery opportunity for SumbandilaSat. The team at SunSpace are still incrementally reading back the pro- gram code from the nine power modules in an effort to determine the extent of the corruption. With SumbandilaSat going through eclipses, the satellite is not as much available as the team would like. Sum- bandilaSat's batteries failed which means that the satellite is only active when the solar panels are illuminated. "We need the information to confirm that the changes we made to stop repeated corruption were effective." Johann Lochner ZR6CBC who spends considerable of his free time on recovery of SumbandilaSat said. "It is our aim to ultimately reprogram one of the power modules to auto- matically switch the amateur radio transponder on and off." Because of the shorter illumination of the solar panels in the South- ern hemisphere and most likely poor orientation of the satellite with respect to the sun, progress is much slower than originally antici- pated. "Where we had three passes to work with in January we current- ly have one", Johann said. In early June 2011 for an unknown reason (but probably related to a major radiation event on 7 June) the primary controller on the power distribution unit (PDU) powering the On-Board Computer (OBC) stopped responding to commands from the ground station. It later appeared that the battery had failed and nothing was heard from the satellite for some time. The ground stations at SANSA Space operations at Hartbeeshoek and the Electronic Systems Laboratory at Stellenbosch University are receiving telemetry when the satellite's solar panels are illuminated by the sun. Johann said with SumbandilaSat responding when it is in full sunlight the team is confident that some operations will be restored even to the point where it may be possible to do some imaging and have the amateur radio transponder back in operation. [ANS thanks SA AMSAT for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Amateur Radio Reports Requested for AubieSat-1 John Klingelhoeffer, WB4LNM, AubieSat-1 Technical Mentor at Auburn University is requesting telemetry reception reports from amateur satellite operators after a new operating mode is commanded aboard the satellite. AubieSat-1 was launched from Vandenberg AFB, California in October, 2011. The cubesat is an undergraduate built satellite developed by Auburn University. Over the weekend of June 9-11 the AubieSat-1 controllers changed the transmission mode of the satellite to in- crease the quantity of telemetry. The increased telemetry rate will provide data to indicate how well solar cell protection is working. It should also provide additional onboard housekeeping information. AubieSat-1 transmits with a power of about 800 milliwatts on a freq- uency of 437.475 MHz. The beacon signal, along with telemetry, is sent using A1A continuous wave Morse code at 20 words per minute. Additional telemetry from the onboard science experiment will use CW transmissions up to 60 WPM. Please post your reception reports on the AMSAT-BB. An example of receiving the AubieSat-1 downlink can be found on the DK3WN SatBlog: http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=23582 [ANS thanks John Klingelhoeffer, WB4LNM for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ARRL 9 cm Band Plan Updated Outside of ITU Region 1, the Amateur Satellite Service has a 9cm band allocation of 3.400 GHz - 3.410 GHz on a non-interfering basis. No current satellites are active on this frequency range at present. The new band plan reserves allocations for EME and amateur satellite operation. The detailed graphic of the 9 cm band plan and accompanying article is posted on the ARRL web at: http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-board-of-directors-approves-9-cm-band-plan In ARRL Bulletin 14 ARLB014, released on June 5 the report reads: The ARRL Board of Directors has unanimously voted to approve the 9 cm band plan, as presented by the ARRL UHF/Microwave Band Plan Committee. Earlier this year, the committee asked radio amateurs for comments on a proposed 9 cm band plan, explaining that the purpose of these band plans is to share information about how the amateur bands are being used and to suggest compatible frequency ranges for various types of application. The committee also recognized that local conditions or needs may necessitate deviations from a band plan, and that regional frequency coordinating bodies may recommend alternatives for use in their respective regions. The new 9 cm band plan includes the following notations: * This band plan includes all other emission modes authorized in the 9 cm amateur band whose necessary bandwidth does not exceed the suggested bandwidths listed. * Weak Signal Terrestrial legacy users are encouraged to move to 3400.3-3401.0 MHz, as time and resources permit. * Broadband segments may be used for any combination of high-speed data (e.g. 802.11 protocols), Amateur Television and other high-bandwidth activities. Division into channels and/or separation of uses within these segments may be done regionally, based on need and usage. * Per ITU RR 5.149 from WRC-07, these band segments are also used for Radio Astronomy. Amateur use of these frequencies should be first coordinated with the National Science Foundation.

June 3, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-155.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- STEM Education Identified as Critical for Continued Rides to Space The AMSAT Forum at the 2012 Dayton Hamvention featured news of the educational opportunities for AMSAT to contribute to the innovation in attracting and retaining students in science, technology, engin- eering and mathematics, or STEM, disciplines. Educators have identi- fied STEM programs as a priority in strengthening the Nation's future workforce. "Education is important to us", said AMSAT Vice-President Educational Relations Mark Hammond N8MH, "It's a part of our mission and vision." Mark noted several key points of AMSAT's support for STEM education: + AMSAT is a non-profit volunteer organization which designs, builds and operates experimental satellites and promotes space education. + AMSAT works in partnership with government, industry, educational institutions and fellow amateur radio societies. + AMSAT encourages technical and scientific innovation, and promotes the training and development of skilled satellite and ground sys- tem designers and operators. As evidenced by this year's acceptance of AMSAT's Project Fox cubesat in the NASA "Educational Launch of NanoSat", the ELaNa program, we were selected on our merit in support of NASA strategic and educa- tional goals. Education is quickly becoming critical for our ride to space. The recently formed Educational Partnership between AMSAT and ARRL, including NASA is looking for help. We need to develop an education program on the ground starting now. We have resources already avail- able for STEM education in both the K-12 classroom and at the Uni- versity level while our satellite builders work on the next flight. For example, the huge collection of telemetry data collected during the recent ARISSat-1 flight is available on our FTP server. This data presents an opportunity for the utilization of satellite data in the classroom (through plotting, graphing, analyzing). An immediate need is for volunteers to collect and organize existing STEM related lesson plans and ideas from the web, useful to K-12 edu- cators and relevant to amateur radio and satellite. Critical steps such as this will allow ARISSat-1 telemetry data to be used in the classroom. Similar lesson plans and ideas can be used for educational purposes in future satellite missions, such as Fox-1 and Fox-2. To support this effort specific tasks have been identified and now volunteers are needed to support: + Educators: We need lesson plans/ideas related to satellites and amateur radio. ARISSat-1 telemetry data needs to be used in the classroom! + Educators: sign up for ARRL Teacher's Institute program! + Web content person for AMSAT's education web pages. o Also to maintain a calendar of amateur radio youth events. + Archivist/publicist of satellite educational activities (photos, stories for AMSAT Journal, press, videos). + Mentors and ground station operators (with equipment!) for ARISS contacts. + Look for opportunities to engage youth, and document it (photos, articles, AMSAT Journal, press). To volunteer contact Mark directly at n8mh at amsat.org. The AMSAT-EDU mailing list is the place to exchange education project ideas and to learn how to help with our educational outreach. Information on how to join the AMSAT-EDU list can be found on the AMSAT web at: http://www.amsat.org/mailman/listinfo AMSAT's vision is to deploy satellite systems with the goal of pro- viding wide area and continuous coverage. AMSAT will continue active participation in human space missions and support a stream of LEO satellites developed in cooperation with the educational community and other amateur satellite groups. This is a path to getting Fox-1 in orbit, and our future Fox-2, ARISSat-2, -3, -? Again, the key contact is AMSAT Vice-President Educational Relations Mark Hammond N8MH - n8mh at amsat.org. [ANS thanks Mark Hammond, N8MH for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-NA Board of Directors Nominations It is time to submit nominations for the upcoming open seats on the AMSAT-NA Board of Directors. A valid nomination requires either one current Member Society, or five current individual members in good standing, to nominate an AMSAT-NA member for the position. Three directors and two alternate directors have terms expiring this year. The director seats open for election are held by Tom Clark, K3IO; Lou McFadin, W5DID; and Gould Smith, WA4SXM. The alternate dir- ector seats open for election are held by Mark Hammond, N8MH and Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK. The three nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be seated as regular board members with two year terms. The two nom- inees receiving the next highest number of votes will be seated as alternate directors for one year. Written nominations, consisting of names, calls and individual signa- tures, should be mailed to: AMSAT-NA, 850 Sligo Ave #600, Silver Spring, MD, 20910. They must be received no later than June 15th. No other action is required. Nominations may also be made by electronic means including e-mail, FAX, or electronic image of a petition. Electronic petitions should be sent to MARTHA(a)AMSAT.ORG or faxed to 301-608-3410, and also must be received by June 15th. If using any electronic submission, there is a second, verifying step: ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS WITHOUT THIS SECOND, WRITTEN VERIFICATION ARE NOT VALID UNDER THE EXISTING AMSAT-NA BYLAWS. A verifying traditional written petition MUST be received at the AMSAT-NA office at the above address within 7 days following the close of nominations. [ANS Thanks AMSAT Secretary Alan Biddle, WA4SCA for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- AMSAT-UK Colloquium 2012 Second Call for Speakers This is the second call for speakers for the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium 2012 which, due to the Olympic & Paralympic Games, will be held the weekend of September 15-16, 2012 at the Holiday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ, United Kingdom. AMSAT-UK has posted details of the 2012 Colloquium at: http://www.uk.amsat.org/colloquium/twelve AMSAT-UK invites speakers, to cover topics about micro-satellites, CubeSats, nano-sats, space and associated activities, for this event. They are also invited to submit papers for subsequent publishing on the AMSAT-UK web site. We normally prefer authors to present talks themselves rather than having someone else give them in the authors' absence. We also welcome "unpresented" papers for the web site. We appreciate that it is not always possible to give a firm indica- tion of attendance at this stage but expressions of interest would be appreciated. Submissions should be sent *ONLY* to G4DPZ, via the following routes: + e-mail: david dot johnson at blackpepper dot co dot uk + Postal address at http://www.qrz.com/db/G4DPZ AMSAT-UK also invite anyone with requests for Program Topics to sub- mit them as soon as possible to G4DPZ. Invitations for any papers on specific subjects will be included in the future call. Likewise if anyone knows of a good speaker, please send contact and other infor- mation to G4DPZ. AMSAT-UK http://www.uk.amsat.org/ [ANS thanks Dave Johnson, G4DPZ and AMSAT-UK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Successful ARISS Contact as Northland Preparatory Academy Calls ISS On Thursday, May 24, students from Northland Preparatory Academy in Flagstaff, Arizona participated in an Amateur Radio on the Interna- tional Space Station (ARISS) contact with Joe Acaba, KE5DAR on the ISS. Approximately 550 students, staff and administrators, as well as Dr. Jeffrey Hall, director of the Lowell Observatory, and the mayor were in attendance. The contact complemented a Science, Technology, Engin- eering and Math (STEM) curriculum. Video of the event, including Dr. Hall's presentation, has been posted on-line. See: http://spacescienceteaching.blogspot.com/ The Arizona Daily Sun ran an article on the event which may be found here: http://tinyurl.com/ISS-AZDailySun (azdailysun.com) [ANS thanks Carol, KB3LKI, and the ARISS Status Report for the Week of May 29, 2012 for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multiple CubeSats Autonomously Docking May Build Large Satellites This week AMSAT-UK, SpaceRef.com, and SSTL have announced plans to develop the 'STRaND-2' mission at the University of Surrey and Sur- ey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL). This mission will test a novel in-orbit docking system based upon XBOX Kinect technology that could change the way space assets are built, maintained and decommissioned. STRaND-2 (Surrey Training, Research and Nanosatellite Demonstrator) programme, following on from the smartphone-powered STRaND-1 satel- lite that is near completion. Similar in design to STRaND-1, the identical twin STRaND-2 satellites will each be a 3 unit Cubesat. Components from the XBOX Kinect games controller to scan the local area and provide the satellites with spatial awareness on all three axes. SSTL says on their web site, "The STRaND-2 twins will be separated after launch. After the initial phase of system checks, the two sat- ellites will be commanded to perform the docking procedure and, when in close proximity, the Kinect-based docking system will provide the satellites with 3D spatial awareness to align and dock. Other appli- cations for STRaND-2 include the safe removal of space debris and spacecraft maintenance, with a low cost "snap-on" nanosatellite pro- viding backup power, propulsion or additional on-board computing capability." SSTL Project Lead Shaun Kenyon says, "We were really impressed by what MIT had done flying an autonomous model helicopter that used Kinect and asked ourselves: Why has no-one used this in space? Once you can launch low cost nanosatellites that dock together, the pos- sibilities are endless, like space building blocks." Dr. Chris Bridges, Surrey Space Centre Project Lead says, "It may seem far-fetched, but our low cost nanosatellites could dock to build large and sophisticated modular structures such as space telescopes. Unlike today's big space missions, these could be re- configured as mission objectives change, and upgraded in-orbit with the latest available technologies."

International amateur satellite operations are allo- cated between 2400-2450 MHz, adjacent to the new devices. The new allocation is Medical Body Area Networks (MBAN) which pro- vide a way for health care facilities to monitor their patients via wireless networks. Because use of these frequencies will be on a secondary basis, MBAN stations will not be allowed to cause inter- ference to, and must accept interference from, primary services, including radio amateurs who operate on a terrestrial primary basis in the 2390-2395 MHz and 2395-2400 MHz bands. The ARRL has posted their full analysis and report at: http://tinyurl.com/13cm-Medical-Allocation (arrl.org) [ANS thanks the ARRL for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Funding Availability Key to Final Acceptance in QB50 Project The QB50 Project, funded by the European Commission, plans to orbit 50 CubeSats separated by a few hundred kilometers and carrying iden- tical sensors to study Earth's lower layers of the thermosphere/ion- osphere and study effects of satellite re-entry. All 50 CubeSats will be launched out of Murmansk, Russia, into a circular orbit with 79 degree inclination at 320 km altitude in the first half of 2015. Full details are published at: https://www.qb50.eu. The project is run by an international consortium under the leader- ship of the von Karman Institute (VKI) near Brussels. The Call for Proposals for CubeSats carrying the standard sensor package which may also include additional experiments closed on April 30, 2012. VKI reports the response to this Call resulted in proposals for 70 CubeSats from 38 countries in the following categories: + 53 standard 2U CubeSats for atmospheric science. + 7 proposals for In-Orbit-Demonstration (IOD) 3U CubeSats for test- ing new technologies or minitaurised science sensors which also include the standard science sensors. + 5 proposals for IOD 3U CubeSats which do not include the standard science sensors. + 1 proposal for IOD 2U CubeSats which also include the standard science sensors. + 4 proposals for IOD 2U CubeSats which do not include the standard science sensors. + 2 proposals for interdisciplinary science. VKI, with the help of external reviewers, is now in the process of evaluating the 70 proposals, aimed towards a selection of 50 Cube- Sats to be flown on QB50. VKI wrote in the 31 May 2012 issue of the QB50 Newsletter, "The availability of funding for developing a CubeSat will be a critical issue in the selection process. At this stage, it is not known which proposals will actually be able to obtain the required funding. The final selection of 50 CubeSats can only be made once the availability of funding is established. CubeSat teams who submitted a proposal should now contact their national funding agencies and/or industrial sponsors to obtain the funding. The process of securing this funding should be completed by 1 October 2012 with the signing of a 'Contrac- tual Agreement' between the university and VKI." In the coming months, VKI will support the CubeSat teams in their efforts to obtain the funding, e.g. by sending a 'Letter of Support'. It is not expected that all 70 CubeSat teams will be able to sign the Contractual Agreement by 1 October, therefore, the de facto down- selection from 70 to 50 CubeSats will be made based on securing the funding by each team. In some cases, funding agencies will only be able to provide a part of the funding. Teams who only received approval for part of the fund- ing should consider the possibility of collaboration with another team that also received only a part of the requested funding.

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 NEWS SERVICE ANS-148 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: * AMSAT Submits NASA Edison Program Proposals * ARISS Call For Volunteers * North America Rare Grid EK69 Activation From Cayo Culebra Island * High Altitude Balloon Crossband Repeater Payload Northeast USA * Satellite Operations Planned for Worldwide Museum Ships Weekend * Dayton Hamvention Satellite Demonstration Area Videos Posted * UKube-1 is Taking Shape * Listen to HORYU-2 on the Web * ARISS Status - 21 May 2012 SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-148.01 ANS-148 AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletins AMSAT News Service Bulletin 148.01 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. May 27, 2012 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-148.01 AMSAT Submits NASA Edison Program Proposals This week the Board of Directors announced AMSAT was a partner in a pair of Phase-2 NASA Edison Program proposals that were successfully submitted on Tuesday May 22, 2012. If selected, these proposals would provide AMSAT and its partners with the funds to construct and launch new amateur radio satellites. Due to the highly competitive nature of this program, no additional information can be released at this time. NASA intends to announce the winning proposals in the Fall of 2012. More information will be released as it becomes available. [ANS thanks the AMSAT Board of Directors for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ARISS Call For Volunteers During the Dayton Hamvention AMSAT and the ARRL announced opportun- ities for amateur radio satellite operators to join the ARISS Pro- gram (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) in roles as Technical Mentors and Ground Station Operators. On Friday and Saturday of the Hamvention AMSAT Vice President for Educational Relations Mark Hammond, N8MH took advantage of the ARRL Stage to explain these roles for radio amateurs who serve as an ad- vising and coordinating liaison between NASA, the school or group making the ARISS contact, and the Ground Station Operators, who set up the satellite station at the contact location. This week the ARRL published the ARISS recruiting program on the web with a call for volunteers. The ARRL said, "Public awareness of the ARISS program is growing as a result of a new proposal process, and promotion by NASA through its broad outreach to schools and teachers. This presents the Amateur Radio community with an opportunity to reach out to even more schools in locations across the US through the ARISS program. See the ARRL web for full details of the ARISS call for volunteers: http://www.arrl.org/ariss-volunteers With the help of experienced Amateur Radio volunteers, and coordi- nation from the ARISS partnership team, crew members speak directly with large youth audiences in a variety of public forums --school assemblies, science museums, Scout camporees and jamborees and space camps-where students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies and Amateur Radio. There are two ways to get involved: Volunteer with a Ground Support Team ------------------------------------ We are recruiting clubs and individuals throughout the US who are able and willing to support the ARISS program in their local com- munities. Optimally, this means setting up direct Amateur Radio con- tacts with the ISS. Direct contacts provide the best opportunity to showcase Amateur Radio and offer students a firsthand experience. An ARISS event can open the door for an ongoing relationship between local ham radio clubs and schools, providing students with continuing opportunities to explore radio science, satellite communications and wireless technology with Amateur Radio. Volunteer as an ARISS Technical Mentor -------------------------------------- ARISS is also seeking additional volunteers to train to support the program in the liaison capacity as US ARISS Technical Mentor who will serve as the coordinators between NASA operations and the local on- site support teams at the event site. They serve as advisors to the local Ground Support Volunteers and need the same skills as well as hands-on satellite communications experience. Technical Mentors com- municate with the other mentors on the ARISS international operations team to coordinate ARISS contacts via telebridge stations around the world. They assimilate and transfer this information to the local Ground Support Volunteers who complete all of the arrangements for a scheduled ARISS contact. The ARISS program is a cooperative venture of NASA, the ARRL and AMSAT and other international space agencies. ARISS organizes and schedules contacts via Amateur Radio between ISS crew members and educational organizations. + Again ... More details about volunteering to assist with ARISS can be found at the ARRL website at: http://www.arrl.org/ARISS-volunteers + Amateur radio operators interested in becoming involved as a ground support team or technical mentor are invited to send an email to: ARISS.Recruit(a)verizon.net [ANS thanks ARRL, ARISS, and AMSAT for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- North America Rare Grid EK69 Activation From Cayo Culebra Island Members of the Radioclub Cancun will be active as 4A3RCC from Cayo Culebra Island, Mexico (NA-200) between June 1-3. Activity will be on 80-6 meters and possibly the Satellites. Special attention will be on 6m. Operators include: Jose Angel, XE3PP; Guillermo, XE3RA; Zalo, XE3N; Julio, XE3PHM; Jorge, XE3PBL; and Julio, XE3JMA. Cayo Culebra is located on Reserve of Biosphere of Siaan Ka'an. For more details, see the following Web page at: http://www.radioclubcancun.org/culebra The main contact is Jose Angel Yanez, XE3PP Presidente / President EMAIL: radioclubcancun(a)hotmail.com QSL via EA5FL: JOSE MIGUEL MONCHO ALCARAZ Apartado Postal : 252 03700 - DENIA Spain [ANS thanks the Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin No. 1063 for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- High Altitude Balloon Crossband Repeater Payload Northeast USA Amateur radio operators in New England and northern Atlantic coast in the US and Canada are invited to listen and operate via the cross- band repeater payload on a high altitude balloon flight from Hermon, Maine. Launch is planned for June 2, 2012 at about 0830 EDT (UTC-4) by members of the Pine State Amateur Radio Club as one of the events during the 25th Annual Bangor Hamfest at Hermon High School. The club is working with the University of Maine Electrical and Computer Engin- eering Department to plan and execute the flight. The crossband repeater frequencies are: Uplink: 147.570 MHz Downlink: 446.100 MHz The payload will also include APRS for position and altitude track- ing. University of Maine tracking information can be found at: http://eece.maine.edu/umhab/ Coverage for the VHF/UHF repeater is estimated to be more than 450 miles. Stations as far away as western New York, Long Island, all of New England, and Maritime Canada should be able to work it. The PSARC High Altitude Balloon team will award a certificate for the station furthest away from the balloon to make contact through the repeater. Please join in to help set a distance record for the repeater. The latest launch information and more details are available on-line: http://www.n1me.org/Hamfest.php http://eece.maine.edu/umhab/ (which will be updated shortly before the launch.)

Mattis, N5AFV, n5afv at amsat.org The worldwide Museum Ships Weekend Event (MSWE) will be held for two days, June 2-3, 2012. Last year 83 ships in 13 countries around the world participated in the event. Amateur radio operators make special event contacts from these museum ships on all amateur radio bands with most of the contacts taking place on the HF bands. In the past several years only two or three museum ships in North America have made satellite contacts during the event. This year a number of Houston area AMSAT members, W5ACM, N5AFV and WC5WM, will participate with the Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club (BVARC) operating club station KK5W from Seawolf Park on Pelican Island in Galveston, Texas. Seawolf Park is home to two Second World War vintage museum ships - the destroyer escort USS Stewart (DE-238) and the submarine USS Cavalla (SS-244). As a result, a contact with KK5W counts for two ships. Amateur radio operators who make contacts with 15 or more ships qualify for a handsome certificate. The BVARC KK5W station plans to operate the afternoon passes of AO-27 and FO-29 on Saturday June 2nd and hope other AMSAT members will be operating from other ships. This will be their fifth year participat- ing in the MSWE and hope to make their first MSWE satellite contact with another museum ship this year. If any AMSAT members are interested in this event they may visit the MSWE website: http://www.nj2bb.org/museum/index.html to find out if any museum ships near them are participating. [ANS thanks Allen Mattis, N5AFV for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dayton Hamvention Satellite Demonstration Area Videos Posted Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK/VA7EWK recorded three videos of satellite passes that were worked from the AMSAT demonstration station at last weekend's 2012 Dayton Hamvention. The videos are now available on Patrick's YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/va7ewk Two of the three videos were from VO-52 passes last Friday (18 May) and Saturday (19 May). Later on Saturday, the third video from an SO-50 pass was recorded. You will see Keith Pugh, W5IU; Doug Papay, KD8CAO, and Roger Ley, WA9PZL taking care of the antenna. Keith's equipment is used for the demonstration station is two Yaesu FT-817s, two homebrew an- tennas (3-element 2m Yagi, 6-element 70cm Yagi), and a laptop run- ning SatPC32 to control the radios. The radios and laptop are powered from a large 12V battery. [ANS thanks Patrick Stoddard, WD9EWK/VA7EWK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- UKube-1 is Taking Shape AMSAT-UK is reporting UKube-1, the UK Space Agency's first Cubesat mission, has reached an important milestone. Two payloads have now undergone pre-integration testing at Clyde Space's facilities in Glasgow. UKube-1, is a collaboration between the UK Space Agency, industry and academia. Open University payload C3D and University of Bath payload TOPCAT were the first of the four payloads selected to be tested. These workshops provided the first opportunity to carry out physical and functional testing between the protoflight payloads and platform subsystems. The tests confirmed physical, electrical and operational interfaces between the subsystems. The tests represent the successful handover to flight integration and delivery from the interface emulator (sup- plied to payload teams by Clyde Space at the start of the program to facilitate rapid parallel development of subsystems). C3D is a small imager which will take pictures of the earth and investigate radiation damage effects in space. It uses new sensor technology developed for space conditions. TOPCAT (Topside Ionosphere Computer Assisted Tomography) will meas- ure space weather conditions to inform users of the Global Position- ing System (GPS) users using a dual-frequency GPS receiver designed especially for use in space. With the remaining payloads due to be tested over the coming few weeks, the program continues confidently towards full integration in July. UKube-1 will also take an educational subsystem called FUNcube, de- veloped by the voluntary organisation AMSAT-UK, to encourage young people to learn about radio, space, physics and electronics. It con- tains a 1200 bps BPSK telemetry beacon and a 435/145 MHz linear transponder. See these links to AMSAT-UK for more information: UKube-1 on BBC TV http://www.uk.amsat.org/5983 UKube-1 to launch in 2013 http://www.uk.amsat.org/5933 [ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen to HORYU-2 on the Web Andrei YO8SSQ and Cezar YO8TLC have made available a web based receiver to enable listeners to hear the new amateur radio satel- lite HORYU-2 when it's within range of Romania. The WebSDR receiver is located at the Astronomical Observatory Department of "Stefan cel Mare" University in Suceava, Romania, latitude 47.6417N longitude 26.2453E, grid locator KN37cp. The height ASL is 350m. The hardware consists of two SDR receivers which are fed into 48 kHz sound cards on an AMD Sempron 2600+ computer running Vec- tor Linux. The web page displays a track showing the current position of HORYU-2 and also provides coverage of the 3.5 MHz (80m) band. Listen to the HORYU-2 and 80m WebSDR at http://sdr.opt.ro:8901/ More information about HORYU-2 437.375 MHz (+/- 9 kHz Doppler shift) at http://www.uk.amsat.org/7404 [ANS thanks AMSAT-UK for the above information] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ARISS Status - 21 May 2012 1.
