Hi all,
AO-51 is now running 435.300 at high power, currently defined as 2.05 Watts
(as of 2305utc 2March10). The digital transmitter (435.150) has been turned
OFF.
Enjoy the big signal!

East Coast AMSAT Launch 11 March!
You will be able to see it too over most of the mid-atlantic. I
don't see a launch time or any other info yet. Here is what I
have received:
-----------------------------------------------------
A sounding rocket with amateur satellite operating on 144.39 MHZ
APRS will rise to 100 miles or so for an 8 minute mission. The
rocket (I think) is the Hall 12.067.
The payload is called SOCEM/ADAMASat. There is a computer
program and GUI to interface to your PC so you can grab the
telemetry live. It is on:
http://ssl.engr.uky.edu/adamasat_free_gui.exe
It's a one shot deal, so I'm gonna have a backup TNC and
HYPERTERM collecting everything.
ADAMASat is the Antenna Deployment and Mono-filament Actuator
Satellite. It's a 2U CubeSat designed by Kentucky Space as part
of SOCEM, the Sub-Orbital CubeSat Experimental Mission.
ADAMASat, which is scheduled to launch on Hall 12.067 out of
Wallops Flight Facility on 11 March, will fly in space for
roughly 8 minutes performing an engineering experiment and
transmitting data down to Earth via APRS packets.
More information on ADAMASat is available at
http://ssl.engr.uky.edu/suborbital/adamasat Kentucky Space is
hereby releasing to the AMSAT-NA community the ADAMASat FREE
GUI, a free 32-bit Windows binary for amateur radio operators in
the Eastern United States who are interested in tracking
ADAMASat on its launch day. The GUI is a standalone application
and upon opening it on his/her computer, the HAM will be greeted
with a popup window which explains the steps required to track
the payload.
All that is needed is a Windows machine, a radio and TNC which
can receive on 144.390 MHz, a serial or USB cable, and a
suitable location. The GUI parses the APRS packets as they are
received, graphing temperatures on-board the payload and
reporting status of the mission in real-time. It also includes
instructions on e-mailing the packet log to Kentucky Space to
aid in post-processing, and a built-in aggregator for the
official ADAMASat Twitter RSS feed.
Disclaimer: Kentucky Space provides the GUI "as is" without
warranties of any kind, and shall not incur any liability for
any damages connected to the use of the GUI.

>> ... Have corrected all clocks. So we're now ready to go! Thanks.
You are most welcome, Carl.
There's actually a smaller unit of time that was recently measured by JPL:
the ohnosecond.
It is defined as the amount of time between when a man's hand lets loose of
the closing locked car door - and when he realizes he's left the keys in the
ignition.
Pronounced, "OH NO! second."

Thanks, Clint; much appreciated.
As "they" say: been there, done that.
Also the earth's axis has been shifted. We'll have to re-align the laser
beam we shoot at the moon every Thursday eve.....Always something to do.

I'll be on tomorrow after all as the family get together was delayed by a
day. Thursday's now the off day.
I'll be on from the EM02 / EM12 line during the SO50 pass at 03/1746Z as
well as the first and probably both AO27 passes at 03/1910Z and 03/2049Z.
After that will be EM13 possibly on the AO51 pass at 03/2222Z but definitely
at 03/2359Z.

I was told that kenwood will release a new version of TH-D7 radio in the
first quarter of 2010. This model will include a GPS. Do you have any
information about that.

POPACS-RR a 2U cubesat will use self-contained, warm gas, propulsion system
to adjust satellite?s initial circular orbit of 450 km to eccentric orbit
with apogee of 1500 km and perigee of 450 km. Demonstrate use of 3D printing
(a.k.a. rapid prototyping) for manufacturing small satellites. Measure flux
of energetic particles in lower Van Allen Belt. Test radiation-hardened
electronic components and high performance solar cells in high radiation
environment over a period of five years. Test radiation hardened components
for a Plug and Play satellite. Proposing a UHF downlink of 9k6 GMSK AX25
packet and also an S Band downlink of BPSK at 9k6 or 38k4. Planning a launch
on the first flight of SpaceX Falcon 1E not earlier than May 2011 with a 45
deg inclination. Will apply for a FCC part 5 Experimental licence for this
project.

Yes it was a big signal last night! I have just gotten a Yaesu FT897D set
up on the FM sats and was thinking it had the best receiver I had seen yet
on 70cm FM until I read this email.
How long will it be on high power?

Except for the occasion where we turn the repeater down to to 500mw to
also collect telemetry via the digital downlink, AO-51 will remain with
the high power downlink through the 10th, and whenever just the .92/.300
repeater is on the rest of the month.
