On Saturday, July 31, an Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) contact was held with the 2010 National Boy Scout
Jamboree in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Doug Wheelock, KF5BOC answer-
ed 13 questions posed to him by the Scouts as approximately 800
others listened in.
Andrew Koenig, KE5GDB, who is Amateur Radio Newsline's 2009 Young
Ham of the Year, initiated the biggest contact of the jamboree.
Six Scouts representing Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin, all got a chance to ask astronaut Wheelock a question,
some relating to Scouting and the space program.
Prior to the contact, K2BSA Amateur Radio Association set up its
radio station which thousands of Scouts toured. Some Scouts earned
their Radio Merit Badges and amateur radio licenses as well. This
year, the Jamboree celebrates 100 years of Scouting in the U.S.,
with attendees from all 50 states and other countries around the
world. Forty-three thousand Scouts attended the National Jamboree.
K2BSA also operated on the satellites from the 2010 National Scout
Jamboree amateur radio station. QSL cards for the 100th anniversary
are available. Send your card, and SASE, to the QRZ.com K2BSA address.

After a brief outage aboard AO-51, AMSAT Vice-President of Operations,
Drew KO4MA reported on Saturday, July 31 that the satellite had been
restored to service. The 145.92/435.300 repeater was set to run with
the 67 Hz tone required to activate the satellite. Power output was
740 mW.
On 5 August AO-51's operating mode was changed enable the 435.150 tele-
metry transmitter at 340 mW. This was to provide a telemetry collection
demonstration for a cubesat team.
During the demonstration the 435.300 voice transmitter continued to
operate at about 470 mW with PL tone activation of the transmitter.
At the conclusion of the demonstration the Control Team changed the
mode back to the 145.92/435.300 repeater running about 750 mW with PL
tone activation of the transmitter. The 435.150 transmitter was turned
off.
Please use the webpage at http://oscar.dcarr.org/ or post reports via
the amsat-bb. For some reason very few US stations use this. Please do
as it is impossible for the AO-51 Control Team to listen to every pass.

SA AMSAT has announced that, after consultation with the CSIR
Satellite Application Centre (SAC), more passes over South Africa
will be scheduled.
During the week, these passes will be in the evening and on weekends
during the day and on some evenings.
If you are scheduling a special event at a school, a special morning
pass can be scheduled on request by sending an email to
saardt@xxxxxxx.xx.xx at least 2 weeks prior to the event. More details
about passes over other areas will be announced soon.
Hans, ZS6AKV, presented a paper at the AMSAT UK Satellite Colloquium on
Sunday, August 1 which discussed how best to accommodate other parts of
the world on SO-67. The SA AMSAT web page at http://www.amsatsa.org.za/

Taiwan University Announces Plans for Attitude Controlled CubeSat

BID: $ANS-220.06
A team from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the
Department of Electrical Engineering at the National Cheng Kung Uni-
versity in Taiwan has announced a 2X CubeSat development project
named PACEsat, Platform for Attitude Control Experiment.
This cubesat will feature three-axis stabilization utilizing a mini-
ature momentum wheel and magnetic coils. Attitude determination will
use a three-axis magnetometer, a three-axis gyro, and coarse sun sen-
sors. Temperature sensors will monitor the thermal environment inside
the satellite.
Frequencies discussed in the satellite design documentation include
145 MHz is selected for uplink and downlink communication and 433 MHz
CW/AX.25.
The satellite was designed for a 600km near-circular orbit with a 98
degree inclination. Mission lifetime is planned to be 2 months. A
stable attitude determination and attitude control system is a pre-
requisite for future CubeSat missions which will include propulsion
systems to attain higher orbits.

Hi.
A common problem with Win 7 that I've noticed is that if the software is
a bit older and isn't started as administrator, it can't access the com
ports.
So you might want to try and right click on the program icon and choose
"run as administrator".
Might solve the problem....or not :-)

Hi Wilse,
tell a bit more details, please.
What Windows 7 do you run, 32-bit or 64-bit?
Has your PC a physical COM port or a PCI card with 1 or more COM ports or do
you use a USB-to-Serial adapter? The USB-to-Serial adapters require Windows
7 compatible drivers.
What is the COM port number of your port? You can check that with the
Windows device manager, LPT and COM ports.
I have no problems with rotor steering via a COM port under Windows 7,
32-bit and Vista 32- and 64-bit via physical ports and also via
USB-to-Serial adapters (Prolific and FTDI).
There is a link "Vista and Windows 7 compatibility" on my website
www.dk1tb.de , Englisch page "Downloads" with detailed information.
