I would trade everyone of them that launched in the last 3 years for the
first five on the list being active ...OK we have 1 out of the first 5 but
all five would be nice...
BTW I am quite sure Oscar V is still in orbit...but without ANY solar cell
ability...we wont be hearing from it again....and it wasnt a transponder
But I still have a tape of it...!
BTW Xenia OH is a cool place...when I was TDY in Cleveland for a bit a
friend who worked where I was flying has a farm there...he recently sold me
some Silver Appleyard duck eggs to stock our pond...

I don't see it that way.
Every project is a set of people who have participated in what is
at first something technical, then magical. I have never talked
with someone who has worked on something going into space
that hasn't set back at some point and marveled at it. How many
folks have we all done demos for, and heard "Wow......!" ?
With the technology to get things into some kind of orbit
coming down, its only reasonable to expect that more and more
organizations will make the attempt. Some will get amateur
licenses just so they can to telemetry, but there is an interesting
effect there, which is that some of them stick around and
become hams, as oposed to just being licensed.
I've met two people who were in some project and got licences,
and once they attended a Dayton Hamvention, they were hooked.
I've seen one of them several times now, at Dayton.
So sure, we offer cheap telemetry but the side effects are priceless.

I hate to say it but you may be right - the sky is now full of
"beep-beep" sats!

Do any of these have potential for Amateur use after their "primary mission"
is completed? If they can be repurposed like AO-27, then I don't have any
complaints. If, OTOH, all they're good for is sending telemetry for
somebody's experiment, then I feel this is an inappropriate use of Amateur
frequencies.

Are all the satellites containing the RS transponders included? It
seems like some or all are missing. - Duffey

Granted most of them haven't been able to handle "UR 599 OM QSL via buro"
style contacts, the bulk have "just" been for self-training and technical
investigations.
But there again these "self-training and technical investigation" Amateur
Radio satellites have been launched into very low orbits (< 1000 km) which
means short pass time and short range - next to useless for two-way Amateur
DX contacts.
It is worth noting that Amateurs may well wax lyrical about Oscar 7 or 6 but
they never mention Oscar 8, which had both Mode A and J. Why is this ?
Simply the orbital height, nothing else.
The fundamental problem we need to address is how to get a satellite from a
readily available orbit below 1000 km to one whose apogee is 1400 km or
greater.

At a SmallSat conference I attended on behalf of AMSAT this summer, I was
amused at the casual assumption by a researcher that 50, Five Oh, cubesats
could be launched as part of an upper atmosphere project using ham
frequencies for the downlinks. (They would have a lifetime of only 3-4
months.) Jan King, W3GEY/VK4GEY, who does coordination of satellite
frequencies, gently but firmly brought them down to earth a bit.
On the one hand, we get new hams with interests in space communications from
these projects, but on the other we need to prevent the de facto
appropriation of needed frequencies. A fine line to walk.

Hi Trevor,
We somehow must start to get serious about the orbital modification
concepts proposed by David, G0MRF (see his paper from the 2009 AMSAT-UK
Colloquium), that will get a LEO satellite into a MEO orbit.
I believe the concept (ion propulsion or similar) can, as David points
out, over time in orbit, modify a LEO to something more useful. Many
papers given recently by "tiny" propulsion system researchers at
SmallSat and CubeSat conferences make it clear to me that some form of
"samll" propulsion is in our future if we want to move out of LEO.
Come to the AMSAT Symposium and listen to Dan Schultz, N8FGV, give his
presentation - Hall Effect Thrusters for Amsat Satellite Missions, a Report
from the International Electric Propulsion Conference
While it's likely a real stretch for a 1U CubeSat, in a 3U CubeSat with
up to 2U Cubes worth dedicated to ion propulsion, we might have
something practical. While many I talk with say it isn't practical, I
have no doubt it will happen in the not too distant future. I wonder who
will take the lead and be first?
It could sure help solve the problem of not having affordable launch
opportunities to MEO any more.
Regards...Bill - N6GHz
