Hi Jerry,
I don't think Vista likes things written to
ProgramFiles/Orbitron/TLE. There is a section in the Orbitron
help about setting directory paths that might apply.
I'm no Window expert, I just switched to XP, so I'm a few years
behind the curve.

This problem, in my experience, was caused by Vista's User Account Control
not allowing Orbitron to write any new data to the hard drive. There are two
ways to solve this:
1. Run Orbitron as Administrator (right click on the icon -> Run as
Administrator)
2. Disable User Account Control. This can be done by going to the Control
Panel, then User Accounts, and somewhere in there (I do not remember exactly
since all my boxes run Windows 7 now) there is a checkbox that will allow
you to turn UAC off. Reboot the computer after disabling UAC for the changes
to take effect.
Hope this helps.

Japanese research and development firm Eamex claims to have found a new way
to increase the typical average life of a high-capacity lithium-ion battery.
Eamex's new technology will allow the demanding batteries to sustain over
10,000 recharges over the course of 20 years.

I remember just a few years ago how thrilled we consumers were with
1200-1400mAH in NiMH AA cells. Now we have twice that capacity ... It's very
exciting seeing both consumer and commercial-grade battery technology mature.

Hey, AO-16 and IO-26 still have some decent batteries, even after 20 years
or so :)
Check their orbit numbers (80k-100k), and that's very close to the number of
time they have been charged/discharged! hehe
Neat on the new technology...but our buddies that built those birds picked
some good batteries too!

Thank you for posting this Clint -- I'd heard of this from a friend but he
could not give me the link, but now I have it.
I am happy to hear of this, but I take it with some skepticism, in that this
is a projected life time, not a real one. While I would *love* for this to
be true, I wonder what un-thought of chemical reactions there might be,
affecting the battery some years down the road.
To give an example that fuels my skeptic tank, consider recent disk drives
and the enormous published mean time between failures for them. They
were garbage, and looking at WD disks (scorpio blue), they don't publish
MTBF any more.
So while I want aa batteries with 13.1AH capacity and 12,000 recharge
cycles, I'm going to have to wait for them....... ;-)

We were minutes away from resuming our trip today (Friday) when I tested the
theory against pouring a cup of coffee (with creamer and sugar of course) on
to the keyboard of the laptop; the machine got 8 to 10 ounces center mass.
Luckily for me, my stepson here in the Denver area has his own IT
engineering and service company, and a quick 911 call to him got full and
immediate attention.
He and I got everything drained out and cleaned up, and the laptop is back
up and running. (All log contacts and photos from the last two weeks'
portable ops had already been backed up on a thumb drive as well as a second
laptop, so other than pride, I wouldn't have lost anything except for the
day's travel that got eaten up.)
But now we're ready to hit the road again tomorrow afternoon (with the
coffee safely somewhere else...). Our route tomorrow (Saturday) will take us
initially to the DN80/DM89 line, hopefully for the AO27 pass that rises here
at about 06/1925Z. I'll definitely be on during the next AO27 pass at
06/2103Z either from that line (if I miss the previous pass from there) or
the DM78/DM79 line for AO51 at 06/2357Z.
While southbound into Texas, I'll operate from all grids on both sides of
the 104W longitude line. There have been several requests for contacts with
the DM7x and DM8 grids; those grids look to be particularly in demand. As we
head south; our next day off will be in the vicinity of Carlsbad Caverns in
DM72. After that, we'll move over to Big Bend Nat'l Park alongside the Rio
Grande River in DL88 where we'll camp for two or three days.
Focus will continue on afternoon AO27 and AO51 passes. I'll run grid lines
where possible, but as before, grid lines will be run only where accessible.

Hi Luc:
Your question was:
Why they don't put the ISS cross band repeater on?
Answer:
I assume you are referring to the Kenwood TM-D700 radio, when it is in
"Cross-Band" mode.
The TM-D700 is a good radio, but it was never designed to support the duty
cycle required by a full time "Cross-Band" repeater on Earth or in Zero
Gravity.
Even though the radio does have the Cross-band option and the ISS crew has
on several occasions placed the radio in Cross band mode, they only do so
for short periods of time, when the crew can monitor the radio.
One of the primary reasons for only running the TM-D700 in "Cross-Band" for
short times slots is because of the potential for overheating. All
electronics on ISS run hotter, because there is NO convection cooling.
Earth based Electronics must be modified to compensate for Zero gravity and
the loss of convection cooling. The TM-D700 is not immune to overheating.
In August 2006 ISS commander Pavel Vinogradov reported the D700 over heated
and locked-up when it was left running SSTV all night long. It was during
his mission we discovered the problem with the ARISS Vox box was getting
stuck transmitting, possibly because of RF getting into the Vox box. During
an ARISS telecomm , Sergej Samburov, RV3DR, relayed the gist of the
conversation he had with Pavel Vinogradov to myself and the ARISS team in
the teleconference. Pavel had to unplug the power cables to the radio and
then reconnect the radio, in order to clear the non functioning buttons.
We do not know what power setting was used on the D700 during that part of
the mission (special modifications limit this radio to 5,10 or 25 watts).
What we do know, is that it did over heat and the radio was never quite the
same afterwards. A backup TM-D700 was sent to ISS for Richard Garotts
Mission.
The duty cycle for Cross-Band modes is much higher than those required for
unattended packet modes.. While passing over the USA, it is possible for
the Cross Band repeater to be active for 20 consecutive minutes with a duty
cycle over 50%.
In my professional opinion, placing the TM-D700 in unattended Cross Band
repeater mode on ISS would not be safe.
Marex did propose in 2006 and 2008 ARISS International meetings a Heat sink
/ Fan upgrade for the TM-D700. ARISS rejected the proposals, stating they
did not see any need.

Dear AMSAT fellows,
recently I got some additional interesting information and pictures
especially on the early AMSAT satellites and added them to the
"Sounds from Space" collection at www.dd1us.de.
Please have a look and hopefully enjoy it.
I am still missing any recordings of the early AMSAT satellites AO-II to
AO-5 and would kindly ask you to double check (maybe also with some older
Hams which are not participating in this group) whether they might still
have such documents. I bought an old tape recorder in order to be able to
digitize also older tapes.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards 55&73
Matthias

Wow, you never know when your threshold will be reached, but this is
mine. This list never seems to miss an opportunity to complain about
the state of affairs, but always seems to miss opportunities to
actually do anything positive. I've reached my personal limit of
grouchery. Complain all you want from your position in the ditch,
I'm hitting the road.
