That sort of thing is actually common practice. The Shuttle, for example,
fires the main engines and allows them to get up to thrust and stabilize
while the vehicle is still clamped down, then they fire the solid boosters,
then they let it go.

Yes we all know this,
and have heard and seen it a hundred times. t-9 and ignition sequence
has started, and you see all the engines starting up.
But what the original poster questioned wasn't that. but that it left
the pad early.
even on the shuttle or the giant Saturn 5 launches. ignition starts yes
long before zero, but the rocket or shuttle never left the ground
before zero,
whereas on the video seen here of this launch it is very clear by both
the digital timer and audio countdown that the rocket has left the pad
and is airborne clearly 3 seconds before zero.

Hi folks,
Before I start nailing stuff together, I just want to verify what I'm doing...
I want to make a 2.4ghz Right-Hand Circular antenna from two flat panel
Wi-Fi antennas. The idea is to mount them at 90 degrees from each other,
with one 1/4 wavelength in front of the other. Combine the two feeds with a
simple Tee (the feeds are of equal length), and into the pre-amp. Since I'm
not transmitting, I'm not too worried about the resulting 25 ohm impedance
(or should I be?).
If it matters, the panels are from HyperLink Technologies, their model
HG2414P, with a claimed 14dBi gain.
So, the questions:
1. 1/4 wavelength at 2401 mhz is ((3 x 10**8 / 2401 x 10**6) / 4) meters,
or about 1.23 inches. Right?
2. Most of our 2.4 ghz satellite downlinks seem to be either linear or
RHCP, so I'm guessing that RHCP is probably the preferred construction.
(Yes?)
3. Looking at the Satellite Experimenter's Handbook (figure 7-10), I
believe the panel rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise as seen from behind
the panels should be the one farther out in front, for RHCP. (Their picture
shows clockwise for LHCP.) Is this correct?
Thanks,
Greg KO6TH

Hi Greg, KO6TH
You should be worried because even on receiving your VSWR is 50/25 = 2 and
since the downconverter has been tuned for the lovest noise figure with a 50
ohm noise source it happens that the noise generated by your downconverter
will be greater than you should expect with an input VSWR = 1

Right, but 1.23 inches is a too short distance to mechanically separate by
1/4 wavelenght two flat panels so that if necessary it will more convenient
to use for spacing an odd numbar of 1/4 wavelenghts into free space at 2401
MHz and use two coax feed lines of the same lenght.

All 2.4 GHz downlinks on the actual satellites are linear so that no matter
if you connect the antenna for RHCP or LHCP

It depends if you connect the inner conductor of the coax cables to A or to
A' for the front dipole and to B or to B' for the rear dipole.
In a separate email I will send to you a drawing to explain how two linearly
polarized waves radiated as a 90? components combines each other to generate
a resultant wave that can be RHCP or LHCP.

I'll offer it here first. I have a Yaesu G-5400B rotor and controller for
sale. It took some lightning damage to the controller but it has been
repaired and works well. It is several years old and I am not the original
owner. I will also throw in a Fox-Delta ST1. The ST1 is brand new - I
still have the raw parts for assembling the cable that interfaces to the
rotor controller. The rotor, controller, and ST1 for $300 firm.
I also have the following antennas that I will sell locally (Tuscaloosa, AL)
or will travel up to 50 miles:
KLM 22-element 2m CP antenna - $100 firm
Homebrew 44-element 70cm CP antenna - $100 firm
I also have a couple of preamps - both Icom, one for 2m, one for 70cm that I
could be talked into selling and an eight foot FG crossboom.
All of this equipment is still mounted on a short tower, but can be removed
easily. I can provide pictures if needed.
Thanks for the BW.

Hi Greg,
These panels are patch style antennas and as such you will not be able to
place one behind the other to obtain circular polarization. Placing one
next to the other will at best produce an elliptically polarized pattern,
and you should use a 50 ohm splitter to keep your impedance 50 ohms. The
shape of the patch and position of the feed point is typically how you
obtain circular polarization with a patch antenna.
Or, you can obtain RHCP with the same or more gain and less trouble by
making a Helix. A sheet of aluminum, #8 copper wire and and a piece of PVC
of the right diameter is all you need.
http://brneurosci.org/helix-antenna.html
Or, you can try just a single panel and see how it performs for a while.
Good luck!

A few years ago at the Amsat Colloquium University of Surrey we were
privilaged to have astronaut Ron Parise (SK) as a guest speaker. He
explained the ignition suquence for the shuttle in a very entertaining way,
as best I remember it went like this
As the engines?come up to thrust the explosive bolts fire and away she goes.
If one of the pyrotchnics?fails its no problem the bolt? just gets ripped

Congratulations, Don - and welcome to orbit!
Here, the excitement hasn't gotten old after almost two years. Working the

lots more contacts.
