Hi!
I will work one more pass from Whistler Mountain, the AO27 pass
at 2121 UTC. It will probably be a minute into the 7-minute time before
I can hear the downlink, but I will try for it.

NASA Releases Videogame Moonbase Alpha
This week the MoonBaseAlphaGame.com and the MoonDaily.com web
sites report that a free new online game, "Moonbase Alpha" has
been released by NASA.
"Moonbase Alpha" allows players to join an exploration team in a futur-
istic 3D settlement on the south pole of the Moon where you assume the
exciting role of an astronaut working to further human expansion and
research," NASA said in an explanation of the game.
"Returning from a research expedition, you witness a meteorite impact
that cripples the life support capability of the settlement. With pre-
cious minutes ticking away, you and your team must repair and replace
equipment in order to restore the oxygen production to the settlement.
To accomplish their mission, players use an interactive command center,
lunar rover and mobile robotic repair units", NASA said.
Moonbase Alpha can be played by one or up to six players. NASA said it
is a precursor to a planned NASA-based "multiplayer online game project."
The game is available from the MoonbaseAlphaGame.com web page.

AMSAT-DL Meets With Germany's Space Agency
An earlier report by Achim Vollhardt, DH2VA, from the AMSAT-DL
Annual General Meeting 2010 discussed the joint feasibility study
by AMSAT-DL and DLR for lunar and Mars missions. DLR is Germany's
national research center for aeronautics and space.
AMSAT-DL board members spent two weeks in the CEF (Concurrent
Engineering Facility) of DLR in Bremen. Despite different views
on the technical project management Dr. Achim Vollhardt described
cooperation with the staff of the DLR as very constructive and
mutually very useful.
The results of the study were presented in early May 2010 in a
final presentation at the DLR in Cologne. Attendees included repre-
sentatives of the DLR program Directorate, Peter Guelzow, DB2OS,
and Hartmut Paesler, DL1YDD. The results were received by all parti-
cipants as very positive and leading to further cooperation with the
DLR. AMSAT-DL noted this was the first time the technical feasibility
of their P5E Mars mission was confirmed by an independent team of
experts.
Peter Guelzow sees the results of the study and the dialogue with
politicians as an important foundation to the completion of P3E and
as a strong argument for future negotiations with potential donors
and launch operators.

Amateur satellite to investigate power line interference
Hans van de Groenendaal ZS6AKV will be giving a presentation on
South Africa's first CubeSat at the
AMSAT-UK Colloquium in Guildford, England,
July 31- Aug 1
The world has experienced a long solar minimum which means that
ionospheric communication had been very limited and for a few years
was almost exclusively the domain of the commercial broadcasters
running Megawatts.
HF radio communication is very susceptible to noise levels that are
created by power lines, electrical installations and overhead lines
used by trains and busses and power line telecommunication systems.
If fact today there are many installation that do not necessarily
comply with internationally agreed emission standards. With increasing
solar activity interference signals are propagated over large areas
and will interfere with HF communication.
The important mission of the SA AMSAT CubeSat is to measure the High
Frequency noise levels over South Africa and report these measurement
back to a ground station for analysis and action to reduce these
unwanted signals. The information from the tiny satellite will identify
the areas where the HF frequency polluters are situated and will help
in reducing or eliminating the source.
It is also hoped to include a 30 kHz linear transponder and an
Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS) in the CubeSat.

BID: $ANS-192.04
Hi All,
I have received the UK copy of Oscar news and there is an article
stating that GO-32 is now non-operational and has completed its
11 year mission successful. However, due to the degraded state of
the solar panels it cannot keep the software in a stable condition.
The ground operating station has asked that we mark this satellite as
no longer able to support any continued operation.
It's a shame to hear as this was a great strong satellite for
operating APRS on.

Sumbandilasat SO-67 Operation Temporally Suspended
News posted on the SA-AMSAT web page (http://www.amsatsa.org.za/)
reports, "Due to the erratic operation of the onboard computer,
SO67 operations have been suspended while the ground station inves-
tigates the problem. It is expected that recent changes in the soft-
ware that operates the amateur payload could be the cause."
SA AMSAT will advise the amateur world when operation will be resumed.
SA AMSAT requested, "Once the green light is given, requests for opera-
tion over your area should be sent to saamsat@xxxxxxx.xx.xx by Mondays
for possible inclusion in the schedule published on Thursday night/Fri-
day morning covering the following week. It may not always be possible
to accede to every request. The weekly schedule will be published on
the SA AMSAT web page at http://www.amsatsa.org.za/.
With recent changes in software please note the following operating
procedure.
The PTT of the transmitter now STAYS ON for the duration of the payload
activation (i.e. 15 min), regardless of a valid ?transponder? tone rece-
ived. Note that this does not get rid of the ?cut-off? problem, nor of
the requirement to embed a valid tone when you want to use the payload ?
see detailed explanation below.
The following example depicts the ideal usage scenario of the payload:
1. As the satellite comes over the horizon, an unmodulated carrier
(?quieting?) will be received by all on UHF.
2. Person A starts to transmit on VHF (with valid ?transponding? tone
embedded in the transmission) and the transmission is relayed on UHF.
3. When Person A releases his/her PTT, the satellite will continue to
transmit what it is receiving (usually this will be ?noise?) for a
further ?3s. Nobody should start to transmit during this time!
4. At the end of the ?3s period, everybody will again hear the unmodul-
ated carrier.
5. NB: only when this unmodulated carrier is heard should Person B start
to transmit.
In simple repeater operation terms, leave a 3 second gap between overs.

ARRL Education and Technology Program Coordinator, Mark Spencer,
WA8SME will conduct the Dayton Amateur Radio Association sponsored
ARRL TI-2 Teacher's Institute - Space next week in Dayton from July
12 through 15.
The purpose of this teacher's institute is to instruct teachers on
how to access satellites for use in their classrooms. The four day
institute will involve a lot of on-the-air activity on the birds.
Mark invites you to listen up for the teachers who will be working
the birds for the first time and help participate in the TI by making
contacts with them. They will be novice satellite operators so he
hopes you will forgive mistakes as they learn the ropes. It will be
interesting to see how 8 ground stations operate from one location!
(The stations consist of FT817s, ARROWS and computer controlled G5500
rotors.)
If anyone needs a contact with W1AW/8, Mark will be using that call
sign periodically while doing some demonstrations during the TI.
If you have a specific request, let Mark know via e-mail and he'll
listen for your call specifically. Mark's address is mspencer@xxxx.xxx.

'StudSat' is to be launched aboard the Indian PSLV C 15 on
12th July 2010. The lift off is at 03:52 Z and the StudSat
is to be injected into orbit around 04:12 Z. The CW beacon
would be 'ON' at 04:42 Z, ie 30 minutes after separation
from the launcher.
Beacon Frequency is 437.861 Mhz (10 mW).
During its first pass, around 04:50 Z, stations around
west and North Mexico, Western Coast of US, Canada, Alaska,
and North Asia would be able to receive the beacon signal.
We request stations over these regions to kindly listen
on to the beacon frequency and provide us with their valuable
reports. These initial reports are the only means for us to
confirm on the 'Beacon ON' until it is visible over VU land.
This help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,
TIsat-1 HB9DE is to be launched aboard the Indian PSLV-C15
on 12th July 2010
from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota (SDSC-SHAR),
Andhra Pradesh, India.
The lift off is at 03:52 UTC and the TIsat-1 is to be injected
into orbit around 04:11 UTC.
The CW beacon would be transmitting at the earliest at 04:26 UTC,
15 minutes after separation from the launcher.
Beacon Frequency is 437.305 MHz (400 mW).
The predicted TLE for TIsat-1 is as follows:
TIsat-1
1 99998U 10034Y 10193.17708333 .00002592 00000-0 35304-3 0 00007
2 99998 098.1177 252.3288 0008033 272.0048 315.2117 14.78702228001648
During its first orbit, starting about 04:50 UTC, stations around West
and North Mexico, Western Coast of US, followed by Canada, Alaska, North
and Central Asia would be able to receive the beacon signal.
We kindly request stations over these regions to listen on to the beacon
frequency and provide us with their valuable reports. This help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
For the SUPSI-SpaceLab student team,

P.S.: TIsat-1 is part of the Nanosatellite Launch Service 6 (NLS-6)
cluster payload from the Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) at the University
of Toronto, Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS).

Hello Matthias,
How are you?
I used US (144.490) uplink setup to work Doug, that seems they don?t change
to Europe channels while a pass.
You must try always the two frequencies.
Good luck and congratulations dor 3th place at World Cup! :-) you do better
than us in Brazil this time! :)

Hello all,
I had a voice QSO yesterday with astronaut Doug Wheelock, where he and
russian cosmonauts asked about the game of today (World Cup). Germany won?s
Uruguay 3x2.
If you have a Voice contact today, *PLEASE DON?T TELL ABOUT THE GAME TODAY!*
*Mr. Doug asked me to don?t tell about the result of the Final Game, because
they will recive an upload version at ISS.*
Than don?t let they about the game if you have a lucky to get a QSO with the
crew please.
Best regards and good luck!

Hi!
I am packing things up, getting ready to go to Vancouver
airport for the flight home. A quick look through my log
shows 392 QSOs were logged by VA7EWK in the past 8 days
from all locations (including some that were logged with
both of my callsigns, when I worked at the USA/Canada
border Thursday afternoon). It has been a fun time up here,
between the sightseeing (several hundred photos in my digital
camera, and my car has over 3000km/1900 miles on it!) and
getting on the radio. I operated from 9 grids (CN78, CN79,
CN88, CN89, CN99, CO60, CO70, CO80, CO90), and even tolerated
the "heat wave" that has gripped southern British Columbia
over the past few days. Warm by local standards, but not
nearly as warm as it is back in Arizona. Other than the first
2 nights I was on Vancouver Island, I never saw rain - a first,
for all my trips to Vancouver going back over 15 years.
I still need to update my spreadsheet with QSOs from the past
few days. I might do that at the airport before flying out, or
on the 3-hour flight back to Phoenix. Once I do that, I can
provide more stats on my operating up here. Thanks again to
everyone for the QSOs over the past 8 days!
73!
