Once you use PocketSat3 for the iPhone / iPod touch ... you'll never go back
... (grin)
I have been using PocketSat since its old Palm days. It has yet to fail me
... or make an incorrect prediction.
I have purchased many other programs ... and used the freebies. Several are
capable - but for me, the true class of the bunch is PocketSat.
http://www.pocketsat.com/products/ps3iphone.php
Of the 67 iPhone/touch apps I have paid for (in addition to the 80+
freebies), PocketSat3 was the most expensive. A whopping $24.95.
But I have enjoyed the experience ... a YahooGroups support messagebase.
QUICK answers from the author to all my weird support questions, when they
arose. Painless, one-touch downloading of AMSAT Keplerian data (and other
sat databases, too, if you'd like). Knowing that the author is a fellow ham
who CARES about his programs - all that, to me, has been well worth the $25
investment.
Again - there are a couple other titles out there for iPhone/iPod touch that
work well. But they do not, IMHO, match the capabilities and power of
PocketSat3.
Just my opinion, of course. And I do not own stock in PocketSat3 (grin).

So, why oh why did nobody mention Ham radio? UHF and VHF bands were
mentioned, nice pictures of Ham antennas from hand-helds to long beams, but
never amateur radio. They talk about the value in the use of common
off-the-shelf components and cell phones, but no mention of the incredible
resource that the satellite-active Ham community is, nor the value of the
radio bands that they will be using. Even the mention of an HT in one of
the picture it seemed like the presenter was going out of his way to not
call it that.
Why is Amateur Radio a poison term?

We can celebrate many things about Yuri Gagarin, but one of them is not his

You probably meant "space flight"...Alex Leoniv did the first space walk
followed by Ed White..

I just tried using the TLEs off of the KySat-1 page, but couldn't get them
to work, nothing showed up.

If you want to get technical, Gagarin did actually do an EVA of sorts. The
Russians were not sure he'd survive the landing so at 50,000 feet they had
him bail out of the ship and parachute down. They kept this secret for quite
some time as they were afraid that we'd claim some kind of foul and use that
to claim Sheppard was the first true space traveler. I think this became
public knowledge sometime in the '80's after the fall of the USSR.
So, like I said, "technically" you could call it an EVA, since he left his
ship while it was airborne.

Thanks, Rick, for trying to bail me out ... But it was a mistake/typo on my
part ... (grin)
Yes, after his 108-minute flight, Gagarin ejecting from the spacecraft at
7,000 metres
(23,000 ft), and landing by parachute.
Under International Federation of Aeronautics (FAI)
qualifying rules for aeronautical records, pilots must both take off and
land with
their craft, so the Soviets kept the landing procedures secret until 1978,
when
they finally admitted that Gagarin did not land with his spacecraft.
When the flight was publicly announced, after it was successfully completed,
it was
celebrated around the world as a great triumph, not just for the Soviet
Union, but
for the world itself, though it once again shocked and embarrassed the
United States.
Three weeks later, on 5 May 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in
space,
when he was launched on the Mercury-Redstone 3 suborbital mission, in a
spacecraft
named Freedom 7. Though he did not achieve orbit, unlike Gagarin he was the
first
person to exercise manual control over his spacecraft's attitude and
retro-rocket firing.
The first Soviet cosmonaut to exercise manual control was Gherman Titov in
Vostok 2
on 6 August 1961.
Almost a year after the Soviets put a human into orbit, astronaut John Glenn
became
the first American to orbit the Earth, on 20 February 1962. His
Mercury-Atlas 6 mission
completed three orbits in the Friendship 7 spacecraft, and splashed-down
safely in the
Atlantic Ocean, after a tense reentry, due to what falsely appeared from the
telemetry
data to be a loose heat-shield.
