I have set up here at the OM7M Contest Club and just made my first contacts
from JN98ep on FO-29. Listen for me over the weekend, especially for the
AO-7 passes on Sunday morning with a window to the USA.
Also, if you work HF, we are participating in the IARU Contest using the
call OM1HQ. Hope to see you on HF or the sats.

Hi,
I recently completed a project that someone on the board might find
interesting. One goal was to make it compact so it could be taken and used
outside the shack. It weighs 4 lb 5 oz and connects to your computer through
a USB or serial port. Another goal was no knobs, switches or any other
controls - there is only a reset button on the circuit board that I have
never used. It would be a great thing to take along when making
presentations on ham satellites. It would also be fun on field day since it
runs off 12V and is portable. It works with SatPC32 by emulating the Yaesu
GS-232 controller. It should work with other tracking programs but I have
not tried them (SatPC32 works great for me and AMSAT needs the money).
You might want to check out the youtube video that gives a little demo. It
is full HD and looks very cool in full screen HD. I guarantee there is
absolutely no footage of me waving my Arrow II antenna around.

ARISSat-1/KEDR Deployment Timeline Driven by ISS Schedules
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 191.01
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
July 10, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-191.01
ARISSat-1/KEDR Project Manager Gould Smith, WA4SXM provided the
latest deployment information to the AMSAT News Service. Gould
said he and ARISS Hardware Engineer Lou McFadin, W5DID partici-
pated in a teleconference call this week with NASA to review
the Roscosmos EVA procedures for the release of ARISSat-1/KEDR
during Russian EVA 29.
Gould says the preparation procedures include the battery being
charged and assembled into the satellite. Also discussed were the
procedures to remove the protective quilts from the solar cells
and turning on the safety switches prior to deployment.
As to the date of deployment, Gould summarized, "The deployment date
for ARISSat is still soft, a major factor is the shuttle launch. As
of July 6 the EVA date is in early August, but the shuttle launch
and docking are driving the timeline. During our discussion it was
noted that the ARISSat/KEDR deployment is the first task of the EVA,
so it will occur fairly soon after the EVA begins. Since we have no
firm date or time for the EVA we cannot predict where the satellite
will be heard first. We will let everyone know more as we know more."

AO-51 Operations Update
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 191.02
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
July 10, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-191.02
AMSAT Vice-President of Operations Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA, pro-
vided the latest details in AMSAT's work to keep AO-51 operational
for as long as possible.
Drew wrote, "Keeping AO-51 operating requires the US command team
routinely restarting the satellite, and tweaking the power settings
to find a combination of operating parameters to get it through
eclipse. Currently one of the 6 battery cells onboard is shorted,
and another is in really poor shape."
Continuing, Drew explains, "The onboard computer was crashing each
orbit because of low voltage when the solar cells were no longer re-
ceiving illumination and the satellite relies entirely on its inter-
nal battery power. Through experimentation the Command Team seems
to have found a balance point where it will sometimes go up to two
days before crashing."
Each time the computer crashes the Command Team has to restart
it using the housekeeping software onboard in ROM. The firmware
code has a limited functionality compared to the normal flight
software which we would upload from the ground over a few days
time. However the eclipses and battery problem were causing a
crash before the upload can complete.
Drew concludes, "With lots of luck we will be able to continue to
limp along. How long is anyone's guess. I'd encourage you to use
AO-51 while it's available, and to financially support new satel-
lite programs like Kiwisat, Funcube, and Fox when you can."
Uplink: 145.880 MHz, no tone.
Downlink: 435.150 MHz
The repeater is open to all when the satellite is operational.

AMSAT-UK will be holding a Satellite Beginner's Workshop at 4pm on
Friday afternoon, July 29, to teach newcomers how to get started in
the fascinating world of Amateur Radio Space communications.
With some satellites you can communicate using little more than a
standard dual-band FM handheld. Others use SSB or CW and permit
intercontinental DX communications using the VHF/UHF bands.
The Beginners Workshop will be run by Dave G4DPZ and Carlos G0AKI and
takes place at the Holiday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ. Look for the RSGB
GB4FUN vehicle in the car park.

Italian EduSAT Launch July 21
-----------------------------
EduSAT is funded and coordinated by Italian Space Agency with
the aim to promote space education among high school students
and to support the qualification and scientific careers of young
people, as university students, PhD students and young researchers.
Another target of this program is to develop a small space mission
for low cost scientific experiments and technological tests in
orbit.
Edusat is currently slated to launch on a Russian Dnepr-1 on July 21.
It is planned that Eduasat will deploy the MyPocketQubs, the two
Eagle payloads and the ScoutQub sometime after launch. Its downlink
will operate under an Italian Telecommunications Ministry experimental
licence on 435.750 MHz.

UNM's Trailblazer CubeSat Planned Launch March 2012

The Configurable Space Microsystems Innovations and Applications
Center (Cosmiac) of The University of New Mexico has received notice
from NASA that UNM's Trailblazer satellite has been manifested on
the Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) IV Mission on a
Falcon 9 rocket. This satellite will provide a proof of concept flight
for an Air Force Sponsored bus design called Space Plug-and-play Arch-
itecture (SPA). The PnP type architecture is a capability that will
allow for rapid satellite development and delivery similar to what
is currently available in a home computer. The payload includes a
variety of space weather projects including a dosimeter, gyro and
magnetometer. Plans call for a 325km circular orbit with a 51.6 de-
gree inclination. The IARU has coordinated a downlink frequency of
437.425 MHz.

I recently completed a project that someone on the board might find

outside the shack. It weighs 4 lb 5 oz and connects to your computer through
a USB or serial port. Another goal was no knobs, switches or any other

I'm planning to operate on the grid line of EN80/EN81
on this afternoon's passes of AO-27, AO-51, and possibly
FO-29 and AO-7 from 1930z until 2237z. There are two
possible locations close to the 4 corner grid square of
EN90/91; EN80/81. Since it is hot here, I will not go to
the 4 corner square with an HT but rather will operate from the
truck wherever I can find a safe place to stop in EN80/81.
You can track my location on aprs.fi using K8YSE-8.
These are not rare grids but if you don't have them, here's
your chance to work them and get the qsl quickly. Operating
from another grid close to where you live is not difficult and
you will find it very rewarding. Try it; someone will appreciate
you doing it and you will have a lot of fun in the process!
