All,
Finally, I uploaded a new version of SATCONTROL_FCD (V. 0.9.1). The software
is using Mike's newest ExtIO_FCD_M0MJW.dll (must be in the same directory).
I made also some changes in the ini file. Please use this new version. It's
all in the ZIP file.
I got some questions regarding the MSWINSCK.OCX. That winsck.ocx is a
windows library file for the Windows TCP/IP stack and I use it for
connecting a timeserver. To register it, go to start->run and type in
"regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\System\mswinsck.ocx" (without quotes) and hit
enter. That should register it. If you don't have it or it's corrupted get
one here:
http://www.ocxdump.com/cgi-bin/testwrap/downloadcounts.cgi?rt=count
<http://www.ocxdump.com/cgi-bin/testwrap/downloadcounts.cgi?rt=count&path=oc
xfiles/M/MSWINSCK.OCX> &path=ocxfiles/M/MSWINSCK.OCX
(or google .)
If you delete or comment out ("#") this line TIMESERVER in your sat.ini the
software will not try to connect the timeserver. Otherwise the software
connect this timeserver and will update your system clock.

DELTA IV HEAVY LAUNCH SCHEDULED
Vandenberg AFB News Release
2011 January 18
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - The first West Coast Delta IV
Heavy Launch Vehicle is scheduled to launch from Space Launch
Complex-6 here Jan. 20 at 1:08 p.m. PST.
This will be the largest rocket ever to launch from the West Coast of
the United States.
"This launch marks a significant milestone in our nation's space
capability" said Lt. Col. Brady Hauboldt, launch director. "We've
really restored a national capability for heavy lift on the Western
Range, something we have not had since the last of the Titan IV-Bs
flew out of Vandenberg. This extends our ability to cost effectively
deliver payloads of all sizes and compliments."
The launch follows three years of preparations and $100 million in
base infrastructure upgrades at SLC-6. It makes Vandenberg unique in
providing the full spectrum of space lift capability delivering
payloads of all sizes to orbit aboard the Minotaur through Delta II,
Atlas V and now the Delta IV, said Hauboldt.
While this is the first Delta IV HLV from Vandenberg, it will be the
fifth in the program's history. The first launch occurred in January
2004 from the East Coast.
The rocket will carry a national security payload for the NRO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LAUNCH VISIBILITY AND VIEWING
The Delta IV Heavy slated to lift-off from Vandenberg AFB on Thursday
is a rocket enormous size and power. For observers in close proximity
to the launch pad at south base, the launch should be impressive.
However, for observers further away, the display will be more subdued
because of the propellants the rocket uses and the time of day.
The Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle consists of three liquid oxygen and
hydrogen fueled Delta IV rockets that are joined together. The vehicle
does not use any solid fuel rocket motors.
Unlike solid fuel rockets or liquid fuel rockets that use solid fuel
strap-on motors for extra thrust, vehicles that rely entirely on
liquid propellants produce very little to no smoke trail. Such
vehicles may create a contrail when they pass through an area of the
atmosphere called the contrail zone, but this only lasts several
seconds.
Burning solid rocket fuel produces a tremendous amount of light.
Burning liquid rocket propellants, on the other hand, also produce
light, but the amount is much less and the flame is semi-transparent
or clear.
The fact that the launch is scheduled for the early afternoon will
further impact launch viewing. The Sun will be high above the horizon
and the launch will occur against a bright sky background. This will
greatly reduce the maximum launch viewing distance.
Taking the above factors into account, persons without prior knowledge
of the launch may accidentally see it with the naked eye as far away
as 25 miles. People who are specifically looking for the launch may be
able to see it without optical assistance as far away as 50 miles.
Observers using binoculars or a telescope could possibly see the
launch as far away as 100 miles provided they look at the right area
of the sky at the right time.
People within 50 miles of the launch site or the Delta IV Heavy's
flight path should be able to hear the launch. In outlying areas, the
sound will probably arrive a few minutes after liftoff and consist of
a low frequency rumble.
The best place to view the launch will probably be near the south
end of the base. The idea is to get as close to the launch site as
possible while avoiding trespassing on government or private property
and staying clear of any low clouds or fog.
Regarding viewing areas, Vandenberg AFB Public Affairs recommends the
public go to Surf Beach to view the launch. But to hear the countdown
net they need to go to the Corral Road viewing location. Maps are
located on the Vandenberg AFB Public Affairs Facebook page at:
www.facebook.com/30thSpaceWing
The launch should be visible to the naked eye provided you are close
enough. For better view, use binoculars (tripod mounted binoculars are
even better). Perhaps the best instrument for viewing the launch is
an astronomical telescope. Astronomical telescopes are especially well
suited for launch viewing and may provide an impressive view of the
Delta IV Heavy in flight.
Regardless of where you go to view the launch, park safely, be aware
of traffic or any other hazards, and obey the instructions of
military and public safety personnel.

Hi,
I picked up an old Kansas City Tracker, circa 1990, and was wondering if
there is any way to use it with a modern computer. It is designed to plug
into the ISA slot of a PC. I don't know much about computers, but my
understanding is not modern computers no longer have ISA slots. Could it be
adapted to plug into a USB port or something that a modern computer has?

Hi Jan,
The website has gone down after a harddisk crash back in june 2010.
At the moment the site is running on one of my private machines, but
without the forum.
It is occasionally updated when we have more info to present to the community.
The next milestone will be 1000 days of orbit!
This will be in four days from now.
Are you missing some piece of info or just the regular status updates?
If you need anything located on the forum, please let me know off BB.

Bill,
That ISA to USB board is listed at $149 (very slick, and nice find).
However, a spiffy, brand new LVB Tracker with LCD display and USB interface
from AMSAT is $200 as I recall. You can probably guess my recommendation ;)
Another issue is drivers---while I don't recall the specifics, it seems like
people have troubles with drivers for the old tracker cards as the OS
versions change (as in-are there any drivers for that card and Win7?).
So, if you want to use the ISA card, your best bet is an old PC and old OS.
But then you might have Y2K issues with the tracking software..hi hi.
73!

Bill,
Great card in its day, though it did have a VERY loud signal on the low end
of two meters. I could hear mine half a mile away. It was a DOS-era card,
and you will probably find conflicts with modern versions of Windows. For
about the $150 for an ISA-to-USB card, you can get a modern, supported
interface.
73s,
Alan

Yes Bill,
Like I said ... the *TRANSPONDER* will be off ...
See <http://oscar.dcarr.org/>
The *BEACON* will be on - for testing.

Hi All,
Indeed, Delfi-C3 has quite high temperature extremes on the Cells.
This data can also be viewed in the IV-curve display of RASCAL (it
displays current temperature of the cell)
The temperature is measured with thermistor strips.
However, we use space-grade cells which can handle the temperature.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll check all your indicated solutions.
If will be possible I'm going to choose the TV rotors solution...in my
opinion is more inexpensive!
Thank you for now!
