(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.

Please Do Not Use AO-51 While the Satellite is in Eclipse

BID: $ANS-143.01
After a brief outage on May 16 the AO-51 Command Team has turned
the repeater back on on AO-51, including the 67 Hz PL mode. The
Command Team has a favor to ask of our Southern Hemisphere users,
including those in South America, Southern Africa, Australia, and
New Zealand:
Please avoid using AO-51 while the satellite is eclipsed.
Most tracking programs indicate illuminated or eclipsed states, and
it can always be found by whether the footprint of the satellite is
crossing or in contact with the footprint of the sun. Generally this
is occurring when the satellite is South of 30 degrees South latitude
at present. AO-51 eclipses are predicted to reach almost 20 minutes
by July 2010.
AMSAT-NA VP of Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA said, "I realize
this is a large favor to ask, but the alternative right now is moving
to a scheduled type operation, which I would like to avoid. Please pass
this to your friends, other users you know, and your national satellite
email lists and forums."
For this summer eclipse season, the eclipsed periods are while AO-51 is
over mostly unoccupied Antarctica and surrounding areas. This means when
the batteries alone are supporting the transmitter there are not likely
to be any users. The power management software combined with the PL,
should mean the satellite's batteries can be protected from over-discharge,
while still providing the strongest possible downlink signal and highest
possible availability.
Observations from the southern hemisphere while entering and leaving
eclipse are very helpful. Post your reports on the AMSAT-BB or e-mail
your report to the AO-51 Control Team via ao51-modes(a)amsat.org. AO-51
operators also monitor the Live OSCAR Satellite Status page
(http://oscar.dcarr.org/). Analysis of AO-51's Whole Orbit Data (WOD)
files shows the distribution of the satellite's users.
See: http://tinyurl.com/2ehbxv5
If the eclipse periods get too long too fast the repeater may shut off
due to a low battery voltage watchdog. If this happens, please email
Drew directly via ko4ma(a)amsat.org.

UNITEC-1 be inserted into a Venus encounter trajectory and will become
the world first university satellite which goes beyond Lunar orbit. The
main mission of UNITEC-1 is to perform technological experiments of
on-board computers and test long-range, inter-planetary communication
using amateur radio frequencies:

News posted on the UNITEC-1 Operations Center web page reports that
its CW and FSK signal have been received from a distance of approx-
imately 300,000 km by Japanese ground stations on its first pass over
Japan kept from 16:15 (JST) to 25:15 (JST) at 21st May. Their signal
report indicated the measured downlink frequency of 5839.91 MHz which
is down slightly from the design frequency of 5840.00 MHz. The UNITEC
team will continue to work on refining receiving and recording tech-
niques as well as tracking and orbital determination.
You can find the latest UNITEC-1 mission news on the team's operation
center website: http://sites.google.com/site/unitec1ops/ This also in-
cludes a link to their software page where a telemetry data decoder
program is available.
Several universities with access to big dishes have expressed interest
in creating a network of ground stations to track UNITEC-1 on its
flight to Venus and continuing once the satellite is in orbit around
the planet. This is still under development at press time and progress
will be reported in future ANS bulletins. A radio link budget is under
study to help amateur radio stations develop their capability to re-
ceive this interplanetary signal.

ARRL Maryland-DC Section Manager, Jim Cross, WI3N published news
of the successful ARISS contact in the "The MDC Section News".
Thanks to Bob Curran, KE3GG for submitting this report ...
On Saturday, May 8, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
held a public ARISS contact. The contact was part of their parti-
cipation in the annual Lockheed Martin Space Day event.
Fifteen Boy Scouts from Troop 417 of Waldorf, MD were given the
opportunity to speak directly to astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson,
KF5DBF, aboard the International Space Station (ISS) via amateur
radio. The contact was facilitated via ground station VK4KHZ in
Australia.
Each scout was able to ask at least one question during the nearly
10 minute contact window. During the whole program audience members
were able to watch a real time satellite track of the ISS on a large
video monitor beside the stage.
The program was introduced by astronaut Dan Tani, KD5DXE, himself
having recently returned from four months aboard the ISS. On hand
to locally MC the event was Dave Taylor, W8AAS. At the controls of
the sound system and the telebridge interface was Bob Curran, KE3GG.
The coordinator of the Boy Scout participation in the program was
Bob Davidson, KB3KOW.
Located a short distance left of the stage where the ARISS contact
was taking place, AMSAT had a large display table showcasing amateur
radio and amateur radio satellites. In addition to fielding questions
about amateur radio and explaining the various satellite samples on
their table, they also had an example of the amateur radio antennas
installed on the ISS and were running a video explaining the ARISS
program on a large video monitor.

Pasadena, Calif. (UPI) May 17, 2010
NASA officials say they are conducting the fourth and final series
of checks this week to determine whether the Phoenix Mars Lander
has resumed operations.
NASA says its Mars Odyssey orbiter will listen for a signal from
Phoenix during 61 flights over the lander's site on northern Mars.
The orbiter detected no transmission from the lander during earlier
campaigns totaling 150 overflights in January, February and April.
In 2008, Phoenix completed its three-month mission studying martian
ice, soil and atmosphere. It continued work for an additional two
months before reduced sunlight caused energy to become insufficient
to keep it functioning. The solar-powered robot was not designed to
survive the dark and cold conditions of a martian arctic winter, NASA
said, but in case it did, scientists are using Odyssey to listen for
the signals Phoenix would transmit if abundant spring sunshine revived
the lander.
"To be thorough, we decided to conduct this final session around the
time of the summer solstice, during the best thermal and power condi-
tions for Phoenix," said Chad Edwards, chief telecommunications engin-
eer for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
in Pasadena, Calif.

In preparation for frequency allocation negotiations the IARU has pub-
lished a full specification at http://www.iaru.org/ac-09spec.pdf
Items of interest to the Amateur Satellite Service include:
+ An allocation for the Amateur Satellite Service is sought in the
50-54 MHz range to bridge the gap between 28 MHz and 144 MHz.
+ The Amateur Service requires retention of the existing allocations
in the 420-450 MHz band and opposes new uses by other services or
low-power devices except where sharing or compatibility studies
have been satisfactorily concluded. Because of the crowding of the
existing band 435-438 MHz with unmanned amateur satellites and
manned space stations, it is desirable to study expansion of the
band.
+ The Amateur Service seeks retention of the band 1240-1300 MHz. The
Amateur-Satellite Service seeks retention of the band 1260-1270 MHz
and deletion of the "Earth-to-space only" restriction.

As reported previously, on May 17 Japan's Space Agency JAXA plans to
launch its Planet-C Venus Climate Orbiter "AKATSUKI" mission to Venus.
Also aboard will be UNITEC-1, a 15 kg, 35cm cubed nano-satellite devel-
oped by twenty-two universities and colleges of UNISEC (University
Space Engineering Consortium).
UNITEC-1 be inserted into a Venus encounter trajectory and will become
the world first university satellite which goes beyond Lunar orbit. The
main mission of UNITEC-1 is to perform technological experiments of
on-board computers and test long-range, inter-planetary communication
using amateur radio frequencies:
Downlink Frequency: 5840.000MHz, band width 20MHz
Transmission Power: 4.8W/antenna, 9.6W total
Antenna: 2 Microstrip patch antennas
Modulation: AFSK/FM 1200bps during LEO flight
CW 1bps during Interplanetary flight
Callsign: JQ1ZUN
UNITEC will rely heavily on amateur radio stations around the world
to receive its microwave downlink signal. The team has created an
Amateur Radio forum which is planned to evolve into a site for the
latest information as well as provide a path to upload received data.
See: http://sites.google.com/site/unitec1ops/amservice
Software to aid in the tracking of the satellite and decoding the
received telemetry is posted at:
http://sites.google.com/site/unitec1ops/swdownload
This includes the Initial Orbit Estimation Sheet, Unitec 1 Orbit
Estimation, and Receiving Data Analyzer
A forum to upload received UNITEC-1 data is under construction at:
http://sites.google.com/site/unitec1ops/amservice/amuploader
Many additional details are available on the UNITEC-1 Operations page:
http://sites.google.com/site/unitec1ops/
The UNITEC-1 team will use a special version of Spectran, that pro-
duces a log file of all the frequency peaks found. This will allow
them to do an offline analysis. You can download this special ver-
sion of Spectran from I2PHD, Alberto's site:

AMSAT-India attended the first Indian Small Satellite Systems Con-
ference at ISRO Bangalore. VU2POP reported that 26 univerities in
India have established amateur radio clubs and are in various stages
of Amateur Radio Satellite development.
VU2POP wrote, "As of now most of the university satellites are either
digital with only beacon downlink and no voice transponder. AMSAT
India has two linear tranponders ready. We are asking ISRO for a higher
orbit to cover a larger foot print and longer pass duration for future
AMSAT-India satellites".
As a reminder, on VO-52's 5th Birthday the HAMSAT team and ISTRAC has
requested user feedback from the Amateur Radio community. Send your

News has been received from Vu Trong Thu, XV9AA, in Hanoi of a
Vietnamese 2U CubeSat under development. Thu wrote, "We hope to
complete the F-1 satellite by the end of 2010 and launch it to
Sun-synchronous, 98 deg inclination LEO. At the moment we are
negotiating with several launch providers to find a way into
orbit but the high launch cost is really an issue. If we can
solve the budget issue, we'll be ready to launch our cubesat
in 2011."
The satellite carries several low-resolution cameras to take photos
of the Earth along with temperature and magnetic sensors to study
space environment. Some of the project goals for the F-1 satellite
include:
+ Students to learn about aerospace engineering.
+ Demonstrate the application of COTS products to reduce cost and
time developing a small satellite.
+ Survive in space environment for at least a year.
The satellite will use amateur VHF and UHF frequencies. The IARU has
coordinated at downlink frequency of 437.485 MHz to support a 1200 baud
AX.25 telemetry link. The F-1 satellite will also transmit a beacon us-
ing a modulated Morse code audio signal on FM carrier when it is not in
range of the earth station in Hanoi. In case of emergency, DTMF tones
can be used to control the satellite to some extent. The satellite also
carries a COTS transceiver (using UHF frequency) from Microhard Systems
to experiment with higher data transmission speed.
A breadboard model of the satellite has been built and the communication
link has been tested at a range of 50km. The team is now working on the
Engineering Model of the satellite and more tests are planned including
shock, vibration and thermal tests.

to AMSAT Project Funds, will be eligible to receive additional benefits.
Application forms are available from the AMSAT Office. And, with that
please keep in mind the radio amateur who was LED to believe it was a
good time for this humor: His friends were shocked and their stomach
did flip-flops but he soon rectified the situation and that phase soon

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.

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.

Successful ARISS Contact With European School in European Parliament
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 122.01
From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
May 2, 2010
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-122.01
On Tuesday, April 27 students of the European School II, Brussels
enjoyed a successful Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) contact with Astronaut Tim Creamer, KC5WKI operating the Amateur
Radio station NA1SS aboard the International Space Station. The ISS was
over South America during the contact with Adrian Sinclair's ARISS
Telebridge station LU1CGB in Buenos Aires providing a solid earth station
link. Twelve students selected from the school completed the contact.
ARISS Chairman Gaston Bertels, ON4WF hosted the event at the European
Parliament in Brussels as a feature of a cultural exhibition set up in
collaboration with the International Amateur Radio Union, the European
Space Agency and sponsored by MEP Birgit, Sippel, Germany. The IARU
Exhibition's name is "European Amateur Radio Benefiting Society" with
the theme of Emergency, Education and Space.
Because of the high profile of the location of the event at the European
Parliament Building in Brussels there was considerable opportunity to
raise awareness through media coverage, especially with Brussels Euro-
pean School's 'model' schooling for Europe.
This chance to participate in an ARISS project was actively embraced
by the Science faculty and it is here where the opportunities for cur-
ricular integration are gaining momentum. In the 1st Year Secondary
(typically aged 11) students study forces, gravity, weight and basic
ideas about 'fields'. In the 2nd Year, studies of the Solar System,
and well beyond, link directly to the Shuttle missions and the Inter-
national Space Station. In Year 7 (the final Baccalaureate year, when
most students are aged 18) the Physics section on 'Gravitational Fields'
is mainly about the mechanics of planetary and satellite motion. Topics
(and questions) are often presented within the context of NASA and ESA
missions.
Reporting from Brussels, Gaston wrote, "In the European School, located
in a residential area of Brussels, a similar setup was provided and many
students listened in to the event live. Later in the same afternoon, ISS
crew members came to visit the exhibition. ISS Commander Frank De Winne,
ON1DWN, Robert Thirsk, VA3CSA and Roman Romanenko, each one representing
a different Space Agency participated in a live question and answer session
with a group of students from the European School and from another school."
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 participa-
ting countries.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement
of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crew members onboard 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).

BID: $ANS-122.03
The Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) at the University of Toronto Institute
for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) would like to announce the delivery of
Nanosatellite Launch Service 6 (NLS-6) cluster payload to Satish Dhawan
Space Centre in Sriharikota (SDSC-SHAR), Andhra Pradesh, India, for
launch on board PSLV-C15. PSLV-C15 will be launching from the First
Launch Pad at SDSC-SHAR into 637 km sun-synchronous orbit with 10:30
Local-Time of Descending Node. NLS-6 shares this launch with Cartosat-2B
primary, Alsat-2A co-primary, and STUDSAT auxiliary payload.
NLS-6 is the 6th launch by SFL. The NLS-6 cluster comprises of two
nanosatellite: AISSat-1 and TIsat-1.

About AISSat-1
------------------------------
AISSat-1 is built by SFL for the Norwegian Defence Research
Establishment (FFI). It is intended to demonstrate a new maritime AIS
receiver that has been developed by FFI. The AIS receiver will be used
to monitor ship traffic in Norwegian waters. The design of AISSat-1 is
based on SFL Generic Nanosatellite Bus (GNB).
The spacecraft has a main structure measuring 20 cm by 20 cm by 20 cm
and it is stabilized in three-axes using reaction wheels. It has a fixed
46 cm long VHF payload monopole antenna for the AIS receiver and four
UHF uplink monopole antennas for the command receiver. The downlink in
the S-Band. AISSat-1 has an overall dimension of 80 cm by 45 cm by 37 cm
and an overall mass of 6.5 kg. AISSat-1 will be secured to the launch
vehicle using the XPOD GNB separation system.
AISSat-1 is not an amateur satellite and, as such, has coordinated
appropriate frequencies. Its ground segment is located at Svalbard and
its control centre is at FFI, near Oslo, Norway.
More information on the spacecraft can be found at
http://www.utias-sfl.net/nanosatellites/AISSat-1/

About TIsat-1
------------------------------
TIsat-1 is a 1 kg CubeSat of 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm and is built by
students and staff at University of Applied Sciences of Southern
Switzerland (SUPSI). The primary mission objective is to involve
students in systems engineering, development and test with a very
challenging project and to provide students and staff at SUPSI with
space mission knowledge. TIsat-1 will monitor the durability of material
probes exposed to space environment, will test a micro electromechanical
device and will validate the redundant, fault tolerant hardware and
firmware design of the bus.
Two monopole antennas (VHF and UHF) will be deployed after separation.
Housekeeping and payload data will be communicated to the ground as
orbital data profiles. TIsat-1 will be secured to the launch vehicle
using the XPOD Single separation system.
TIsat-1 communicates over amateur radio frequencies, as coordinated
through the IARU, and they have been working with radio amateurs in
Switzerland during the spacecraft's development. They have a Morse Code
and data beacons. More information can be found at

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

Swiss Amateur Radio Cubesat TIsat-1 Ready for Launch
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 115.04
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
April 25, 2010
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-115.04
The Swiss Amateur Radio CubeSat TIsat-1 built by students in Ticino
is ready for launch from India later this spring. TIsat-1 is to be
launched on the PSLV-C15 launcher from the Sriharikota Space Center
(SHAR) in India. It will go into a 670 km sun synchronous orbit with
an inclination of 98.5 degrees.
The radio communications system is based on the Alinco DJC-6 dual
band hand held transceiver. Downlink power will be 400mW on 437.305
MHz. An uplink will be at 145.980 MHz. TIsat-1 will send its call
sign HB9DE in CW and transmit AFSK telemetry from its on-board
experiments.
Experiments are planned for:
+ Monitoring of the durability of exposed thin bonding wires, PCB
tracks and lines (Atomic Oxygen effects).
+ Verification of the system fault tolerance scheme including
algorithms for error detection and correction both for on-board
memories and for communication.
+ Acquisition of spacecraft environment and operating data.
+ Redundancy in the key systems in order to resist space environment
induced effects. The critical hardware functions were replicated and
implemented with different technologies.
+ Careful hardware and software design taking care of latchups and
single-event upsets.
+ Smart self-adaptive software management scheme based on techniques
stemming from Artificial Intelligence.

SA AMSAT announced at their recent Space Symposium held at the
University of KwaZulu-Natal that it would be building its own
CubeSat.
The project will involve radio amateurs, students and learners.
At this stage the project will start with inviting input from
radio amateurs before the final payload is decided on, and pro-
ject teams will then be set up. If you are interested in becoming
involved, you are invited to send an email with your contact
details and areas of expertise to saamsat(a)intekom.co.za.

Arecibo EME Wrap Up
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 115.07
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
April 25, 2010
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-115.07
While not strictly amateur satellite related, another aspect of
amateur radio in space includes EME operations. Many amateur sat-
ellite operators participated in the recent EME test from Arecibo
and may be interested in this.
Joe Taylor K1JT wrote to the EME community on the memorable KP4AO
amateur radio moon bounce operation from the Arecibo Observatory
in Puerto Rico, "Many thanks to all stations we worked from KP4AO
-- and our apologies to the many more who called without completing
a QSO. The Arecibo telescope's short moon windows were frustrating
for all, ourselves included."
Joe descibed the "wall" of stations calling as simply incredible. A
rough estimate suggests that we may have worked something like 20%
of the callers potentially workable on SSB, 10% of those workable
on CW, and only a few percent of those workable on JT65. I guess
we'll have todo it again, in due course.
The KP4AO log shows nearly 240 completed QSOs with some 57 DXCC
entities, in a total of 8 operating hours. The team made recordings
of the whole 432 MHz EME sub-band for for most of the time KP4AO
was on the air. In due course it will be possible to "tune the band"
carefully, many times, picking out callsigns.
Joe continued, "Here's a request for all ...
1. If you worked us with a setup significantly smaller than is
normally required for EME, please send me a short note describing
your antenna, receiver, and Tx power to joe(a)Princeton.EDU
2. If you copied us with a small setup, please send me details on
your antenna and receiver.
I know we worked and were heard by some pretty small setups, and I'd
like to document some of them for a write-up in QST."

and operated the KP4AO station for this event:

(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.

(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.
