One point i forgot in my previous post
Just to confirm the satellite has been deployed in the very first 10 minutes
after the cosmonauts where getting out the air lock not at
1443 EDT "NO WAY" something is wrong here!!!

Very unprofessional, i'm sure others also noticed how they couldn't
even follow basic instructions about not clipping both safety harness
onto the one grab rail.
If they cant even follow basic instructions such as this, I am totally
baffled how they were selected for the progress 28 let alone a very
important EVA
No doubt some of this is down to translation, but it sure sounded like
on quite a few occasions the cosmonauts were just disregarding
instructions from ground control, it also sounded like there were
quite a few disagreements and some heated words between them.
Truly unprofessional, I seriously doubt it would have gone like this
if it had been a NASA spacewalk.
Well, we're stuck with it, an expensive lesson learned. - Don't let
the ruskies anywhere near P-3E!
Anyone manage to hit the transponder on UHF yet?

Well said Bob. Even if the 70 CM antenna was still rolled up, I still had a
much stronger signal on the 400 MHZ band than on 2M, when they were doing
the test earlier this week. Enjoy the bird and get your kids to listen when
it comes by. That's the point. So everyone take a breath and have some fun
with ARISSAT-1.

Everyone should relax.
We built PCSAT-2 that was also deployed on the outside of ISS back in 2006.
The requirements for any kind of such EVA hardware are clearly spelled out
by NASA since they (and anyone who thinks about it) realizes that carrying
ANYTHING by hand or on a tether in ZERO G is going to get banged around like
an ape with a suitcase.
It is na?ve to assume otherwise.
So PCSAT-2 (and I assume Arissat) was built to be kicked, banged, hit,
dropped, stepped on, and even whizzed on (ISS water releases). The forces
were specified to include the 300lb impact of the astronauts foot (man and
suit) anywhere and everywhere on the object.
The live video proved how realistic these design requirements are.
So relax. What you saw is man working in space. Like making sausage, it
ain't pretty... but its what the laws of physics require when heavy objects
float.
ArissSat was designed for this environment and apparently it survived just
fine.

I'll try to keep this short...."Whose Success?"
If I were still a member of Amsat, I would be very upset with the
handling of this project. There is nothing for the contributions
that ham radio members invested. It ends up only glory for ARISS and
the Russian's commemoration of Yuri Gagarin.
I would vote to cut the relationship between Amsat and ARISS. It
isn't offering anything for ham radio. Let ARISS raise their own
funds and build their own educational satellites. Those that want to
contribute to that, go ahead. Amsat was created to build satellites
capable of ham radio communications (and be used by hams)...this
education outreach was added, much later.
But then I quit Amsat after 36-years. You know what? Keep this up
and it could become a trend.

Here is one reason we shouldn't complain too loudly---"our satellite" is the
reason the main objective had to be cancelled. At least that's what one
written record says, per the link below.
So *now* tell me *who* is disappointed?
I am happy we got our bird outside and functional.

"Due to the problems with ARISSat-1 s delayed deployment, the major

Don,
Your explanation is much what I expected. Was hoping to find a sstv program
that will accept .wav files. Much easier to create in the field.
My setup is totally portable. Usually use a netbook running Audigy to
capture audio. Will have to run mmsstv whether I like it or not.
In any case, I'll be trying sstv for the first time live tonight. Looking
forward to a decent pass so I can get a nice pic.

Why, Kevin? Things get messed up all the time. Suitsat had problems, but
still caused a stirr. Hubble went up with a screwed up mirror, but it was
fix. The second ALSEP package on the moon was at least mostly destroyed
when an astronaut stumbled and ripped out the ribbon cable connecting
parts together.
Things Happen. It isn't pathetic, it just happens. Could things be
improved?
Absolutely!
But consider this: where would the ISS be if it was run the way the US

has been acting lately?
At the bottom of an ocean, I'd say...

Hi All,

You can follow it here:

If you run his ARISSatTLM decoder, *please* be sure to feed the central

It's been fun watching temps, etc. It has clearly been discharging and

Since the first passes over the US west coast aren't until after
midnight local time (about 0730 UTC Thursday, 7 hours from now), it
would be great if someone could put a recording of the BPSK beacon on
the net somewhere. I'm anxious to see if my format actually works over a
real space link, what the fade characteristics are like, etc.
Just a couple of minutes would be fine. I prefer uncompressed .wav, not
a lossy format like mp3 or mp4. I can convert sample rates, so there's
no need to use a high one, just one high enough to capture the entire
bandwidth of the signal.
If you do post something, please announce it here so others needn't
duplicate your efforts. Thanks!

I wonder if I might hope that the outrage from us amchair cosmonauts
will abate by tomorrow.
Let's take a look at what we need and what we've got: as an
organization, we need cheap rides to space; but we have some pretty
find satellite-building expertise. The relationship with ISS will, if
we are reasonable, give us cheap rides. The NASA-TV announcer
repeatedly said that ARISSAT-1 was the prototype of a series of
satellites! Already, we've had the opportunity to fly our first
SDX.The cost of making more along the lines of ARISSAT-1 is minimal
compared to the cost of the ride, so this is a crucial relationship.
What does ISS want from our relationship? Probably, an increased sense
of purpose: we get a ride, they get recognition, and perhaps a bit
more TV time for the EVA, and a connection with student research.
Here's where it counts for us to be polite in a difficult situation.
Focusing on errors, nationalistic name-calling, and the rest, just
diminish what they get out the bargain, and make things more difficult
for those who work with us who have negotiated these waters.
Besides, I think the criticisms underestimate the technical difficulty
and novelty of what we've been part of. I've watched many EVAs, and
the feeling that things are not exactly going by plan is pretty common
(even when Americans are running the show :-) How do you most reliably
ship and store a small satellite to an orbiting space station? How do
you most safely jettison it during EVA? As a species we have very
little experience with this, and didn't get it 100% this time. Surely,
kudos is due to AMSAT for being part of the group that is trying to
answer these questions.
Anyway, I have more fun thinking of it that way. And I'm looking
forward to downloading as much telemetry for Kursk as I can.

Oh, I forgot to mention. The ARISSat-1 beacon should be received on a 2m
SSB radio in USB mode, with any passband tuning set to nominal, and
continuously tuned for Doppler to keep the CW beacon coming out at an
audio pitch of 500 Hz. That will put the suppressed carrier of the BPSK
signal at 1500 Hz, the center of a normal SSB bandpass filter.
Thanks!

Are there any deep nulls in the fading? If so, how long are they?
I designed the interleaving to tolerate deep fades of up to about 1-1.5
seconds as long as they don't occur more often than about once every 15
sec or so. Shorter fades can be tolerated more often.

OK, I missed it live. I was busy working on my procedures to launch
Atlantic Bird 7 in September.
Was it deployed without the antenna?
The S/N ratio here on the BBS has me confused. It *sounds* like they
deployed it without the antenna, which means it's 50% functional.
I fully understand about handling objects in microgravity. They might be
"weightless" but they're certainly NOT "inertialess".
But to drag it outside WITHOUT one of its critical pieces?
Didn't they set this up for deployment inside the ISS to be all ready to
go before they even took it into the airlock?
Didn't they have a procedure to follow? You know, "Insert Tab "A" Into
Slot "B""? "Big antenna on top, small antenna on the bottom"?

Nothing heard here in Northern Ireland on the first pass of ARISSAT-1
- a very low pass (0.9 degrees) but a relatively strong carrier with
deep fades seen, looked like traces of SSTV - BPSK also noted on SDR
AOS at 22:48:15 UTC
LOS at 22:51:12 UTC
