I am not sure, but as far as I know DOKA-B is the telemetry software on
Russian Satellites. RS-30, RS-38 etc

Does anybody know how to decode this telemetry data?

Hello all

We'll be running the DM95/DM96 and EM06/EM07 grid lines tomorrow (Wed). (All
planned grid line ops assume that we can actually GET to the line itself;
we've been very lucky so far...)

>From there we'll overnight in Dodge City, KS, which sits on the DM97/EM07
line. With a winter storm warning in effect for this area on Thursday, we
might sit tight in Marshall Dillon's corral for a day before resuming our
northbound leg.

So far, all my ops have been on AO27 and AO51, mainly because I'm having a
bit of difficulty finding my downlink on the linear birds (AO7, VO52, and
HO68). No doubt it's a simple error that I'm overlooking since I was able to
use all three birds before we left FL. I'll give VO52 another go during
tomorrow's 27/1632Z pass and HO68 an hour later.

On Jan. 27, Mars will be closer to Earth than any other time between 2008
and 2014. A mere 60 million miles away, the red planet will be a great
target for backyard telescopes, and will appear bright to the naked eye as
well.

Every 26 months, the two planets? orbits bring them closer together,
sometimes closer than others. In 2003, Mars came within 35 million miles of
Earth, a 60,000-year record.

Observers with a telescope will be able to see changes over the north pole
of Mars as the carbon dioxide ice cap is nearing summer and evaporating into
gas that affects the polar clouds. (If any of our reader-astronomers catch a
nice image, send it our way!)

>From the ground, Mars will look like an orange star almost as bright as
Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. The view will actually be best on
Friday, Jan. 29, when Mars will rise alongside the first full moon of the
year, directly opposite the sun.

For help locating Mars, NASA?s Web site offers full sky maps for Jan. 27, 28
and 29.

Currently the Russian cosmonaut(s) send SSTV images from the Space Station for
the MAI-75 experiment.
Probably different SSTV modes will be used these 3 days of activity, and it
is recommanded
to use MMSSTV (freeware) software wich support these modes.
Several amateur radio operators have received already some ISS SSTV images,
some are shown
on the ARISS SSTV gallery page:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/
If you have received images please send them via the ARISS SSTV submission
page:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/submit.php
We may not be able to display every image because of quality or duplication .
But we keep them in the archieve for futher investigation.

Good luck!

All of the current amateur radio hardware is FM only.
SSTV from ISS is FM-5k, 145.800 downlink.
The Doppler on 2meters is small, so you do not really have to
bother with Doppler.

OK, apparently Genesat is operational.

How about Sapphire? NO45. I saw a report on dcarr's web page
about 3 days ago, but no reporting callsign was given so I could
ask for confirmation. Its AMSAT web page is very much out of
date too...  As the launching party, I will get this corrected
and declare sapphire as dead unless someone has info to the
contrary.

I tried to connect to it today with zeero response.

This satellite holds some promise of a decent and doable microwave
technical challenge.

It will be possible to use our 5760 Transverters for a RX only
application, maybe with minor tweaking.

The LO is 5616 MHz, with the RF of 5840 MHz, the IF is 224 MHz, right in
the US 222 MHz band.

Maybe with a bigger dish, and a very low noise figure preamplifier,
optimized at 5840 MHz,
we could be in the UNITEC-1 deep space telemetry collection business.

The DEMI A32 LO  with an external 10 MHz reference, can add the
frequency stability needed.
Or maybe Steve, N5AC, can preprogramm the A32 for a 5,840-145= 5,695 / 5
= 1,139.0 MHz

A reasonable challenge this winter morning, as I sip my lukewarm tea at
the dining room table.

But more questions are raised:

1. Keplerian elements are great for satellites, but once UNITEC1 enters
deep space,
what do we use to calculate and predict the path for our accurate tracking ?

2. Is there anything special about the modulation scheme ?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Having a few issues using SatPC32 and especially Yaesu gear,
specifically FT-817 and FT-857. The copy I aa using is not a registered
version yet nor have I modified any of the SQF files.

When using on the FT-817, I cannot get any response to the radio. It
doesn't appear to follow the doppler corrections being issued by the
program. When using the FT-857, the unit appears to semi-work, but it
seems to switch between 2 vfos. When using my Icom IC-910, it works fine
if I let it go into satellite mode.

If this is just a file editing problem let me know. In general, I'll be
using the IC-910 most often but have considered using the 817/857 for
portable operation if I can get it to work correctly. I also noticed
that the FT-857 has issues with HRD as well, but that's a subject for
another time.

Any guesses as to why FT-817 not working or does there need to be some
initial file modifications?

To answer some of my own questions, I went to the UaesuPar.SQF file and
saw that the com port speed was set to 4800. Edit the file to have it at
38400 and it worked fine. However, like the FT-857 now, switches back
and forth between vfos while during the doppler corrections. Doesn't
seem to matter what I have selected for the rig (satellite or no). Is
there a way to include both rigss for the port control or do I need to
make sure both rigs are at the same speed?

One other weird problem with SatPC32, especially SsatPC32ISS, when I try
to exit or do certain things, i get errors displayed in German and the
program won't close. I have to use TASK manager to kill the process.

It likely that this spacecraft will be tracked as part of the JPL HORIZONS
system as were other Japanese deep space objects like Nozomi and Hayabusa.
 If that is the case, accurate ephemeris are available to anyone via web,
telnet or e-mail.

See http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi for details.

Thanks Drew, I kind of thought that. I also answered some of my other
questions once I got off my back end and investigated the SQF files.
There are files for Radio 1 and two so it depends which one I want which
and edit the files accordingly. The only thing now is when I get errors
(usually for doing strange things), the errors are displayed in German.
Other than the fact I assumed I did something stupid, I can't make out
the error. It appears to be a memory management error I think. No big deal.
