Dear members of the University Nanosat, Cubesat, and Amateur Radio
communities,
As many of you may know, the FASTRAC satellites built by students at
UT-Austin will be launched as part of the STP-S26 mission this upcoming
Friday Nov 19th (around 4:30 pm AST) from Kodiak, Alaska on board a Minotaur
IV rocket. The satellites will be placed into a 650 km altitude, 72 degree
inclination circular orbit. For those that don't know, the FASTRAC
satellites are the winners of the University Nanosat-3 Competiton and their
primary mission is to demonstrate enabling technologies for small
satellites.
The satellites have been designed the satellites so that amateur radio
operators can track them all over the world and to do so the team has built
a section on our website (
http://fastrac.ae.utexas.edu/for_radio_operators/overview.php) that allows
any amateur radio operator to upload data they receive from the satellites.
This serves two purposes which are that the website will parse and
graphically interpret the data received and also allows the team to collect
data from all over the world.
With this in mind we would like to invite you to track our satellites and
register on our website. All of the information to track the satellites is
available on the above website where we will be posting the most up to date
TLEs as they become available as well as any other pertinent information.
Also, we will be posting updates as the launch approaches on our website,
our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fastracsats) and our Twitter page (
www.twitter.com/fastracsats) so make sure to chek them out.
Thank you for your help. 73,
Glenn Lightsey (KE5DDG) and Sebasti?n Mu?oz (KE5FKV)

I see at the League web site that John passed away. He was an AMSAT VP in
the early 1980s.

Congratulations on making it to this point. The next week I'm sure will
be full of anticipation waiting for that rocket to lift off!
One of the things I think is so great about your project, from what I
have read and been told, is that you've incorporated a secondary amateur
two-way digipeater capability into your satellites. As I understand it,
you plan to operate this after your primary mission is completed? It
might be a great motivation to the AMSAT folks on amsat-bb to hear some
details of this planned operation, as I'm sure others like myself are
particularly interested in helping out student satellites that give back
to the community. With so many new student satellites, it's rare to see
one that may eventually be open for everyone to use, and that is to be
commended and rewarded with support. So, if you don't mind, let the
folks at amsat-bb@xxxxx.xxx know what your plans are in this regard.
On a separate note, I've started and entry on the AMSAT-NA satellite
status pages for FASTRAC-1 and -2
(http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/futures.php), and hope to
fill in the details over the next few days. Please, once your satellites
reach orbit and operate, apply for an OSCAR number from AMSAT-NA and
join the fleet of amateur radio satellites
(http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/futures.php). I'll also ask
that your Keplerian elements get included in the AMSAT distribution
list. Please let me know if there is anything else the amateur community
can do to help.
73, and good luck,
Drew KO4MA

Hi Everyone,
I've set up a fundraiser on Facebook using Fundrazr and PayPal. If you
have a Facebook or Twitter account, please visit http://bit.ly/c861N7
and use the share button to post to your own account. The $2000 dollar
limit is far below what we need to raise, but is the max allowed by the
program. I'm hoping I can create new ones as we exceed that amount.
I hope to soon have a PayPal donation widget that you can include on
your own webpages, or anything html. When I get that working I'll post
back here. The idea is to solicit support from those outside the normal
AMSAT membership and circles.
Thanks for the support, and please help us pay for the costs incurred
during ARISSat-1 construction, and get us off to a good start as we
begin working on FOX!

Hi All,
Just read this, check the bird orbit, and swung the
antennas. I caught Kerry, WC7V with a booming
signal at 2 degrees. Nice to hear this bird again!
Thanks to the control team,
Rick WA4NVM

Hi!
I am in Flagstaff, Arizona, today. Not for radio stuff, but I am looking to
work the AO27 and SO50 passes just after 2000 UTC from up here in DM45.
With the great news from JE9PEL about FO29, I will try for the 2342 UTC
pass and maybe even the 0126 UTC pass before returning home tonight.
Not sure about the HO68 pass around 1751 UTC or the western AO27 and SO50
passes in the mid-afternoon; those will depend on how my day goes up here.
I have my APRS HT running, and it should be
visible at http://aprs.fi/wd9ewk-7
73!

Hi folks,
i would like to ask a question to the Wisp users.
I am noticing that in the GSC software the difference between the local time
and the
UTC time is incorrect.
The difference should be -2 hours but I can see just -1 hour difference.
How to correct it?
Thanks in advance.
