SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launch date: December 20, 2002 1700z
Launch site: Baikonur, Kazakhstan
Status: Operational

(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.

BID: $ANS-037.01
Many thanks to all who participated in AMSAT's
Straight Key Night on OSCAR 2011, this year's event
held in memory of Dick Peacock, W2GFF. Despite the
frequent necessary power-management shut-downs of AO-51,
activity was generally good, with AO-7, FO-29 and VO-52
picking up the load. A big "Well Done!" to all of
the command stations.
The following participants each received one or more
"Best Fist" nominations:
AA5PK, JH7UJI, JM1SBU, JR0EFE, K9CIS, N1AIA, N4ZQ,
N5AFV, N9AMW, ON5NY, PR7VX, PU4RON, VA7MG, W9EN,
WA5KBH, WB2SIH, WC7V, WD9EWK, 9A2EY
As can be seen from the list, from its very modest,
informal beginnings on the North American east coast
AMSAT net in the 1970s, SKN on OSCAR is now a worldwide
event. Long may it continue, and we hope to
see you next year!
A Big well done to Ray for once again giving his time and
Effort to compilation of the results and moderating the
Straight Key Night.

OSCAR-11 REPORT 31 January 2011
This report covers the period from 31 December 2010 to 31 January 2011.
During this time the satellite has been heard from 31 December 2010 to
10 January 2011, and from 21 January to 30 January . It is expected to
switch-on again 10 February for ten days, and remain silent for the
remainder of the month.
Excellent signals have been reported from stations located around the
world, and good copy obtained from decoded telemetry frames.
The satellite is now transmitting during eclipses, although signals are
weaker at those times. This indicates that there is still some capacity
remaining in the battery.
The on-board clock is now very stable. It gained eight seconds
during January.
The VHF beacon frequency is 145.826 MHz. AFSK FM ASCII Telemetry
Reception reports have been received from Christian SWL-CHMY, Mike DK3WN,
Campo PY5JAP, Ron WB0SOK and Horatio CX8AF. Many thanks for those and to
everyone who posted reports on the satellite status website.
At the present time, while OSCAR-11 is operating in a predictable way,
I no longer need direct 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 12:00 - 17:00 and 22:00 -
07:00 UTC, to when the satellite is out-of-range in the UK . The URL
is http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php
A longer version of this report 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 a links to the longer report, a short audio clip to
help you identify the satellite and a file of the last telemetry received.
The website also contains an archive of news & telemetry data which is u
pdated 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 focus of the event will be To BUILD AND TEST something.
"Something" may include a PICetSat II flight module, a SoftRock SDR
project, SDR Cube transceiver, a photovoltaic system battery charging
regulator deep-cycle 90AH batteries, and the door is open for more
suggestions.
Such a workshop for any of these projects will take nearly a whole
day on which to make good progress. Pat is looking for a free or low
cost meeting place. The free facility at Goddard Space Flight Center
in Greenbelt, Maryland is availble subject security screening such as

*1 SA AMSAT Announces SAiSAT A Journey Into Tomorrow
This week SA AMSAT announced two new satellite initiatives. The first
is a long-term research and development project called SAiSAT.
The Southern Africa Amateur Radio Satellite Association (SA AMSAT)
which is affiliated to other AMSAT groups around the world is pro-
posing an exciting satellite project and is inviting the partici-
pation of South African Universities and Universities of Technology
in the development and construction of a completely South African
Amateur Radio experimental satellite.
The objective of this satellite is to demonstrate South Africa's
ability to engineer a satellite, employing the latest technology,
and new innovations. In addition to some feasibility projects for
future commercial use. The aim of the project is to contribute to
propelling South Africa into a world position as a technology
resource.
SAiSAT is based on the CubeSat satellite design. SAiSAT plans to
use fold out panel a total of 24 in all that support solar panel
steering in order to capture the maximum energy available from the
sun. The rear of the solar panels is free for project use. They have
the potential to house 24 projects depending on size.
An additional research proposal is that the outer rim of each panel
is fitted with pcb tracks in the form of a coil:
+ To generate additional power from the Earth's magnetic field.
+ To torque stabilise the satellite against the Earths magnetic field.
+ To give orientation data to resolve the attitude of the satellite.
+ Take additional unused power from the batteries and elevate the
satellite into an every increasing orbit thus extending its use-
fulness and orbital life.
+ Possible to create an 12 antenna arrary
* Provide a steerable antenna array with gain, thus reducing
the necessary radio frequency power needed to maintain contact
with earth.
* Provide a radio Doppler system on board so the satellite can
confirm and report position, and supply the radial of interfering
emissions.
* Provide a vital radio redundancy feature from antenna failure.
* Provide static charge data.
* Provide residual atmospheric density readings
SA AMSAT has issued an open invitation to tertiary institutions and
individuals to participate in the project. A project meeting is
scheduled on Friday 25 March ahead of the annual Space Symposium
which will take place the next day. Full details are posted at:
http://www.amsatsa.org.za/SAiSAT.htm
*2 SA AMSAT Announces Kletskous Amateur Radio Satellite Project
Project Manager Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BZP invites amateur satellite
operators world-wide to monitor the SA AMSAT web page for project
plans of the Kletskous satellite. (http://www.amsatsa.org.za)
Kletskous is a hands-on CubeSat aimed at promoting greater involve-
ment in satellite activity by South African Radio Amateurs. The first
draft of a project plan will be available soon on the SA AMSAT web.
Regular updates will be posted as the project develops.
Hannes is inviting interested persons to join the team. "We are par-
ticularly looking for radio amateurs with RF design experience,
antenna design experience and software writing experience. Send
your contact details and a short description of you technical
background to saamsat(a)intekom.co.za.

wireless technology literacy, electronics, the science of radio,
radio astronomy, how to bring space into the classroom, ham radio
operation, introduction to microcontrollers and basic robotics.
While participants do not need to have an Amateur Radio license
to attend the basic TI sessions, one is required for the advanced
(TI-2) session.
TI-2 Space is sponsored by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association.
The TI-2 Space curriculum focuses on the nuts and bolts of setting
up and operating a satellite ground station. This serves as excellent
preparation for a scheduled contact with the ISS through the Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program. But it also
provides instruction for continued use of satellites and other man
made space assets to explore naturally generated signals, space and
a variety of topics. Dates of the Institute are July 11-14, 2011.
The application deadline is May 15, 2011.
The course will be 4 days: the first half will be setting up and
learning to operate the ground station, the second half will be
practice making satellite contacts and instruction in using space
borne assets in the classroom. Participants will receive all the
equipment necessary to set up a basic satellite ground station.
They will participate in an antenna building party (an activity
they can duplicate back home with their students).
Though participants need not hold an amateur radio license to enroll
in all other sessions of the TI, to be considered for a seat in TI-2
Space, participants must possess at least a Technician class license
at the time of application. Priority for attending the TI-2 Space
session will first be given to teachers who are signed up for an
ARISS contact; second, to TI graduate teachers who have completed an
ARISS contact; third to TI graduates who want to learn more about
bringing space related activities into their classrooms.
This session has a class limit of 8 participants, so apply early!

Codec2 Alpha Release Demonstration
If you attended the 2010 AMSAT Space Symposium you heard the talk
by Bruce Perens, K6BP about the Codec2 Project, the open-source,
low-bit rate voice codec that is being led by David Rowe VK5DGR.
Bruce, VE9QRP recently completed an internet bitstream concact
with Paul, ZL3IN using an alpha-level release of Codec2. Bruce
made a video of the conversation using the actual audio of the
digital audio. You are invited to view/listen to the Codec2 dem-
onstration at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k-nhHE6CrI
This demonstration is running at 2500 bps. Bruce wrote, "We're
aiming for 2400 bps with Forward Error Correction, it could make
satellite voice communication comprise a smaller bandwidth, offer-
ing less demanding downlink systems. Because it is open source,
the codec could even be implemented in the satellite, perhaps to
provide voice-encoded telemetry for a FUNcube-like project of the
future."
The Codec2 site is http://www.rowetel.com/blog/?page_id=452
The source files of Bruce's conversation with ZL3IN, and many
ancillary Codec2 materials are available on his blog:

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.

ARISSat-1 Arrives at the International Space Station
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 030.01
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
January 30, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-030.01
On January 28 at 0132 UTC,a Soyuz rocket lifted off from Kazakhstan
carrying the
Russian Progress M-09M cargo vehicle to orbit headed for the
International Space
Station (ISS).
While the primary cargo of the Progress vehicle is fuel, oxygen, food and other
supplies, the Progress also contains AMSAT's ARISSat-1 Amateur Radio satellite.
Progress docked with the space station just two days after launch, on
January 30
at 0239 UTC.
Currently ARISSat-1 is planned to be manually deployed from the ISS by Russian
cosmonauts Dmitry Kondratyev and Oleg Skripochka during a spacewalk on February
16. ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf V will have simultaneous 2m FM, CW, BPSK and
transponder
transmissions. These multiple transmissions are created by a new software
defined transponder (SDX) board. Features provided by the SDX include:
* The FM transmissions with cycle between a voice ID, select telemetry
values, 24 international greeting messages in 15 languages and live SSTV
images.
* The CW transmissions will be callsign ID, select telemetry,
and callsigns
of people actively involved with the ARISS program.
* The BPSK transmissions will feature a new 1kBPSK protocol developed by
Phil Karn, KA9Q to be readable in low signal level conditions. The BPSK
data will alternate betwen telemetry and Kursk experiment data. Free
ground station soundcard demodulator and display software will be
available before deployment for multiple platforms.
* There also is a 16kHz wide amateur radio U/V transponder
between the BPSK
and FM signals.
* The Kursk experiment will be sampling the amount of vacuum
each day for 90
minutes and sending down data to map the vacuum change as the satellite
slowly spirals into the atmosphere.

Graham, G3VZV announced on behalf of AMSAT-UK this week that the
FUNcube system has now been formally accepted as a participant in
the UK Space Agency Announcement of Opportunity for payload pro-
viders for its pilot CubeSat mission, UKube1.
Seven finalist payloads are currently under consideration with the
final three or four flight payloads to be announced in March, 2011.
This includes the AMSAT-UK FunCube telemetry system for science
education, which will be integrated with the spacecraft as part of
the program.
Graham explained, "While the UK Space Agency release does not mention
the FUNcube linear U/V transponder function during evenings and week-
ends, this functionality will be included in the same way that it is
planned for the actual FUNcube-1 cubesat itself. The FUNcube develop-
ment team is looking forward to the extra challenge of producing two
sets of everything in the very short time scales required by both pro-
jects!"

Sunday, January 23 saw the 1000th day in orbit for the Amateur Radio
satellite Delfi-C3, which was the first 3U CubeSat to carry a linear
transponder.
Wouter, PA3WEG wrote, "The downlink is still OK and telemetry shows
no big degradations. This means Delfi-C3 is still in good health.
Apart from the problems with the transponder and some occasional resets
and lockups, scientific data is still being received. Also, this data
is still forwarded by radio amateurs to our server. Once again our
big thanks for receiving Delfi-C3 and your continued support of the
project."
Visit the Delfi-C3 web page at: http://www.delfic3.nl/ The radio
amateur section at: http://tinyurl.com/6f362zu has the information
you need to receive the satellite. There is also a link to the Rascal
Software if you would like to have your amateur radio station become

has an FT897D and an FT817ND with an Arrow-2 antenna. He plans to
be active from quite a few wet grids along the way. His ocean route
will take him through grid fields include MI, NI, OI, OJ, PJ, PK, QK
(24 hours at Guam), QL, RL, RM, AM, BM, CM. and DM.
Jim's job is seven days a week for four months straight and he will
not generally be available during the normal daytime working hours
so operating opportunities during these times cannot be predicted.
The majority of passes he can be on will be in the late afternoon
and early evening, so AO51, FO29, and AO7 Mode B will be the focus.
Early morning AO7 passes will occasionally be available. Operating
during late evening passes will be likely once the ship crosses the
International Date line and enters the eastern Pacific. Jim's port-
able satellite station will be setup on the ship's helicopter deck.
The ship will be off the coast of southern California by the end of
February and should be there for about 10 days before resuming the
voyage towards Charleston via the Panama Canal, then northward around
Cuba towards Jacksonville (EM90) for another stop at the end of March.
The voyage will finish in April in Charleston, SC.
Jim says he has applied for an IARP permit for Panama so that, barring
unforeseen regulations, he will be able to operate whatever passes
occur as the ship transits the Canal.
E-mail contact for Jim is via james.t.clary.civ(at)msc.navy.mil. He
plans to post regular updates on his trip's progress to the AMSAT-BB.

Catch a Visual Glimpse of NanoSail-D in Orbit
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 030.05
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
January 30, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-030.05
In a posting on http://www.nanosail.org/ Spaceweather.com and NASA
announce they are joining forces to encourage photography of Nano-
Sail-D, the first solar sail to circle Earth in low orbit.
Amateur and professional astronomers and even casual sky watchers
can participate. The solar sail will occasionally be visible to the
naked eye when sunlight glints off the spacecraft's 10 m2 sail, pro-
ducing a spectacular flash akin to an Iridium Flare. UniverseToday
predicts NanoSail-D could be five to 10 times as bright as the planet
Venus, especially later in the mission when the sail descends to
lower orbits.
Even novice photographers can capture such a bright event. Advanced
astrophotographers, meanwhile, will want to try to image the sail
through backyard telescopes. It will be a challenge (the sail is
only 1 arc second across), but even fuzzy pictures could help NASA
monitor the condition of the spacecraft. Cash prizes will be awarded
to the first ($500), second ($200), and third ($100) place photos,
judged by a NASA-appointed panel on the basis of beauty and technical
merit.
The contest begins now and ends when NanoSail-D reenters the atmo-
sphere in April or May 2011.

Echoes of Apollo Call for Student Investigators & Adult Engineering Mentors

BID: $ANS-030.06
Pat Barthelow, AA6EG of the Echoes of Apollo Project (the folks who
brought us the 70cm Arecibo EME activity) is working with kids on the
Google Science Fair. The students and adult mentors have devised a
simple experiment to measure the distance to the moon using Moon
Bounce.
Pat has several EME stations committed and is looking for more tech-
nical support. He is also looking for additional young Co-Primary
Investigators (Age 13-18) to participate.
Time is of the essence. Reply directly to: apolloeme(a)gmail.com
Pat says the students will develop the experiment, lead, analyze.
Adults are needed to nurture, guide, mentor with these goals in mind:
+ Key a CW transmission or alternatively, send an audio impulse via
microphone to EME TX.
+ Starting the time clock on the impulse transmission whether Audio
"Clack" or CW key.
+ Recording for Science Fair presentation, using Multimedia video/audio
eqiupment in the Moon bounce Station.
+ Stopping the clock when the audio/RF does RT to moon (~2.5 Seconds)
and returns, and is demodulated by Moon bounce RX and presented at
Audio speaker terminals.
+ Pre-measure station delays in TX and RX to develop a constant for
internal equipment delays.
+ Measuring the EME interval as closely as possible, with simple
equipment, say, to milliseconds. Probably take the Multimedia video/
audio to a Video editor, to measure delay, digitally.
+ Compare distance to the moon in the NASA, or US Naval Observatory
databases for their actual distance to moon, at the moment of the
experiment.
+ Student analyzes for errors, error sources, discusses return signal
distortion, due to doppler, Libration, pulse stretching, due to
spherical moon, etc.
+ Student suggests follow up experiment, to minimize measurement
errors, or assuming more sophisticated equipment became available.
QUESTION: For an analog RX to audio output, what would be the best
way be to measure the internal propagation delay in an [Analog, Digi-
tal] receiver, from the time of arrival of the RF at the Antenna con-
nector to demodulated output [Analog, Digital] at the speaker, or
computer screen.
For analog receivers, is the internal RX propagation delay, in order
of: microseconds? Milliseconds? For Digital receivers?

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.

(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 Redoubling Efforts to Contact Spirit Rover on Mars
A news item carried on UniverseToday.com (http://tinyurl.com/2ccsnku)
reports that NASA is stepping up operational efforts to contact the
Martian Spirit rover with more communications commands; more listening
time; more frequencies. Spirit last communicated with mission control-
lers back on Earth on March 22, 2010. The rover entered hibernation
mode, some nine months ago, as the available sunlight to power the
life giving solar panels was diminishing. NASA hopes to reawaken Spirit
from a long slumber and reignite her breakthrough campaign of explora-
tion and discovery from a scientific goldmine on the surface of the red
planet.
At Spirit's location in the southern hemisphere of Mars, Southern
Summer has not yet arrived. Right now it's mid Southern Spring and
daylight hours are increasing. And Summer doesn't even start until
mid-March 2011. The question is whether Spirit's unheated electronics
components have endured the extremely harsh and frigidly cold condi-
tions of her 4th winter on Mars - her coldest ever. At about -100 C.
Spirit entered a low-power fault mode in March 2010 with minimal activ-
ity except charging and heating the batteries and keeping its clock run-
ning. With most heaters shut off, Spirit's internal temperatures dipped
lower than ever before on Mars. That stress could have caused damage, s
uch as impaired electrical connections, that would prevent reawakening
or, even if Spirit returns to operation, would reduce its capabilities.
"Components within the rover electronic module (REM) inside the rover's
warm electronic box (WEB) are experiencing record low temperatures,"
said Doug McCuistion, the director of Mars Exploration at NASA Head-
quarters in Washington, DC, in an interview about Spirit's predicament.
"The expectation is for the REM hardware to reach -55C at the coldest
part of the winter. We have tested the REM down to -55C".
NASA's Deep Space Network of antennas in California, Spain and Australia
has been listening for Spirit daily in coordination with the spacecraft
orbiting Mars; Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. In X-band,
the DSN listens for Spirit during one pass each day. The rover team has
also been sending commands to elicit a response from the rover even if
the rover has lost track of time.
Now, the monitoring is being increased. Additional listening periods in-
clude times when Spirit might mistake a signal from NASA's Mars Recon-
naissance Orbiter as a signal from Earth and respond to such a signal.
Commands for a beep from Spirit will be sent at additional times to
cover a wider range of times-of-day on Mars when Spirit might awaken.
"DSN does an average of 4 "sweep & beep" commands in each day's pass,"
according to JPL spokesman Guy Webster. Also, NASA is listening on a
wider range of frequencies to cover more possibilities of temperature
effects on Spirit's radio systems.

AMSAT China Report on HO-68 Health
HO-68 (XW-1) Project Manager, Alan Kung, BA1DU sent an update on the
satellite's operational status. Alan wrote, "This week I received
many reports from all over the world about faults of HO-68's tele-
metry beacon."
Alan continues, "After we analyzed the situation of the satellite, we
think that the software in the payload management MPU was not running
properly. Software crashes stopped communication between the payload
management MPU and the satellite management unit. This caused the prob-
lem with the beacon and caused an abnormal switch of the transponder
mode."
On January 14 AMSAT China controllers switched the satellite into safe
mode at 0300Z. They turned off most of the onboard units, and then at
0440Z re-powered up. The satellite returned to normal operating mode
and so far the beacon has continued to operate normally.
AMSAT China said they will not upload commands to the satellite to
change the transponder operating schedule for the next week. The com-
mand team will continually monitor HO-68 operational status this week.
Please send Alan a report if you observe any abnormal operation of HO-68.

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.

Ray, W2RS thanks all who participated in AMSAT's Straight Key Night
on OSCAR 2011. Please remember to nominate someone you worked for
'Best Fist.' Your nominee need not have the best fist of those you
heard, just of those you worked. Nominations should be sent to
w2rs(a)amsat.org. A list of those nominated will be published in ANS
in early February, and in a forthcoming issue of The AMSAT Journal.

AO-51 Power Management Update
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 009.02
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
January 9, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-009.02
Mark Hammond, N8MH notes that AO-51's power management feature has
been operational now that this satellite is entering eclipses and
its batteries cannot maintain full power when the solar panels are
not being illuminated.
Mark noted, "The good news is that eclipses are pretty short right
now and are occurring at early local time in the Northern Hemisphere.
So many aren't even awake yet. Looking longer term--by early March 2011
we will have a period of full sun again, that lasts a couple of months.
Then we are back into eclipses for a long, long--and we'll have ecli-
pses that will get up to 30 minutes in length! If that's over your QTH,
that means you can't work AO-51 potentially for a whole pass. Final
operating details remain to be determined to see exactly what the orbit
and eclipses will look like at that time."
Mark has posted a file at: http://tinyurl.com/2358a3x (amsat.org)
captured during the January 4 solar eclipse. You can see the normal
eclipses of AO-51 every 100 mins (just over 14 times each day). Now,
look right in the middle--see what is a double dip? That a normal
eclipse AND an extra one from the partial solar eclipse.
The AO-51 Command Team requests that users continue to post their
observations of AO-51's operating condition on the Live OSCAR Satel-
lite Status Page: http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php.

ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V Update

BID: $ANS-009.04
The ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V team has faced a number of challenges since the
two amateur radio experiments were crated and shipped to NASA Johnson Center
in early October.
However, Gould Smith, AMSAT's ARISSat-1 project manager recently told ANS
that, "We are very pleased to report that the flight unit and backup arrived
in Moscow on December 8th, 2010 and were delivered to RSC-Energia in Moscow
on December 29th, 2010. We now understand that the Russian team is working
on testing and integrating the Kursk Experiment and Silver-Zinc battery into
the flight unit during their Russian Orthodox Christmas holidays."
Gould went on to note that the flight unit is still scheduled to fly to the
Baikonur Cosmodrome on January 11th, 2011 where it will be attached to
Progress vehicle 41P. The Progress vehicle is scheduled to launch up to the
ISS at the end of January.
Once ARISSat-1 is on board the ISS, crew members will re-attach the handles,
install the battery, replace the dummy loads with the real antennas and
perform a quick power-on test. The Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) to deploy
the satellite is still scheduled for the end of February 2011.
Needless to say, the ARISSat-1 team is excited about all the effort being
made by RSC-Energia to complete integration, and remains cautiously
optimistic that all will continue to go according to schedule.

At the present time OSCAR-11 (AKA UO-11 or UoSAT-2) is now in a
very stable and predictable mode of operation. Between the period
of November 30 to December 31, 2010 the satellite has been heard
from December 10-20 and again is on since December 31. It is ex-
pected to switch-off on January 10, 2011 under control of its inter-
nal timer.
Excellent signals have been reported from stations located around
the world, and good copy obtained from decoded telemetry frames.
The satellite is now transmitting during eclipses, although signals
are weaker at those times. This indicates that there is still some
capacity remaining in the battery.
The on-board clock is now very stable. It gained seven seconds
during December.
The VHF beacon frequency is 145.826 MHz. AFSK FM ASCII Telemetry
Reception reports have been received from Horatio CX8AF, John
KB2HSH, Francisco PY9FP and Mike DK3WN. Many thanks for those
and to everyone who posted reports on the satellite status
website.
If you hear UO-11 please post the information on the Live OSCAR
Satellite Status Page: http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php. Reports
around the expected times of switch-on and switch-off are of
special interest.
At the present time, while OSCAR-11 is operating in a predictable
way Clive, G3CWV no longer needs direct reports or files by e-mail.
Visit Clive's UO-11 web page http://www.g3cwv.co.uk/oscar11.htm
for links to a full UO-11 status report, a short audio clip to help
you identify the satellite and a file of the last telemetry received.
The website also contains an archive of news & telemetry data which
is updated from time to time, and details about using a sound card or
hardware demodulators for data capture. There is also software for
capturing data, and decoding ASCII telemetry.

AMSAT area coordinator Clint Bradford, K6LCS, will be presenting his
"Working Amateur Satellites With Your HT" session at the February 1,
2011 meeting of the Murray State University Amateur Radio Club. ALL
are welcome to attend.
"MSUARC has been serving their region for fifty years," writes Clint.
"I am really looking forward to meeting the group!"
(Wait a sec - isn't Clint in California? What is he doing in
Kentucky? Too many frequent flier miles?)
Clint's out in Southern California - but has prepared a custom slide show
for MSUARC, which will be displayed as Skype handles the session's
audio. "I'd much rather be there in person - but this arrangement has
worked quite successfully in the past. We'll have a great time!"
