Roland--
Thanks for all efforts.
By the way, If that is a pix of your equipment shack, It is way too
neat. Presently, I am repairing a few things and wouldn't dare to
take a pix of my shack..Too messy..HA!

Phil,
Using a vertically polarised beam here.
Deep double nulls.
Occurring approximately every 4 to 5 seconds.
Duration probably no more than 1.5 seconds.
I do have a wave file if you want it but it is 16mB in size.

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.

Hi Phil,
See my other post from earlier, some screenshots demonstrating the
signal fading.
They are hosted here:
http://tinyurl.com/3gwdacv
Will have more comprehensive shots on the next pass (AOS in 31 mins from now)
At a quick estimate on the pass I saw (0.9 degree elevation) I would
say a 2 second null then 6-7 seconds of good signal repeating.

All,
We now have LIVE BPSK telemetry from ARISSat-1. As it comes in, the
telemetry
will be updated on the web. You can see the latest telemetry that was
received at
http://www.arissattlm.org/mobile
This web page was designed to be viewed on a cellphone or mobile device
but you can still view it on a regular computer.
Please note that the web page is ONLY updated when someone running
ARISSatTLM receives the BPSK telemetry AND forwards it over the Internet,
so it can be a long time between updates. If you can receive the BPSK
telemetry but you can't forward it over the Internet, then please email your
.CSV file to telemetry (at) arissattlm.org.

Actually, if it was deployed against the velocity vector (i.e., thrown
out the back of the Russian section of the ISS) then it should appear
increasingly AHEAD of the ISS. The separation maneuver dropped the
altitude 1/2 orbit later to below that of the ISS, and while it climbed
back up to the ISS altitude another half orbit later, it would get there
before the ISS did. Then it would descend and ascend again, following a
curly-q pattern relative to the ISS as it moves steadily ahead.
Its poorer ballistic coefficient vs the ISS as a whole will also cause
it to move increasingly ahead of the ISS as it decays more quickly.

UK Pass 01.20utc.
30dg Max elevation this pass but a fairly good signal received.
1 SSTV image plus several audio messages received.
Two audio tlm as follows:
MET = 404 minutes
IHU Temp = +26C
Control Panel Temp = +22C
Battery Voltage = 33.09V
Battery Current = +391mA
MET = 406 minutes
IHU Temp = +26C

Battery Voltage = 33.40V
Battery Current = +263mA
Local QRM obliterating the CW/Telemetry frequency.

After the last pass over the UK here I had a look at the switch on
times and found that the last time it switched on, it stayed on..
times I noted were
Power Off: 01:21:53
Power On: 01:23:56
Power Off: 01:24:40
Power On: 01:26:41
According to this it should've either switched off or come out of
eclipse by 01:27:21 - it stayed on - so I rolled back my tracking
software to 01:27:21 and found that the sat was barely out of
eclipse.. right on the fringe. The power saving seems to switch off at
the first sign of sun, there isn't a delay.
Just my observations :-)

Hi Bruce,
Yes the NASA announcer said 4 satellites, presumbly refering also to the one
that's still in Russia and 2 in the States ?
Let's hope one more is sent up in time for the February space walk.
It must cost the Russians about $150,000 to ship each ARISSat to the ISS and
the cost of 2 cosmonauts spending half an hour during a space walk to deploy
it must be astronomical - how much did the Canadian golf firm, Element 21
pay to buy a Cosmomauts time to hit a golf ball in space ?

UK Pass 02.56utc.
80dg Max elevation this pass, very strong signal received.
2 SSTV images plus several audio messages received.
One audio tlm as follows:
MET = 501 minutes
IHU Temp = +26C
Control Panel Temp = +21C
Battery Voltage = 33.92V
Battery Current = -448mA
Missed a second tlm whilst trying the transponder, see below.
Local QRM obliterating the CW/Telemetry frequency.
Tumbling seems to have remained consistent.
Gave the transponder a try with 50W to an omni whilst the satellite was at
its closest but couldn't hear anything in the downlink passband.

I'm sorry, Bruce, but I'm not buying it.
It was a screw-up, plain and simple.
And we can't make lemonade out of it.
At least AO-40 had a usable life for some. This thing is just another
squawk box in space, like all the "student" satellites that are using
the Amateur Radio frequencies for a free downlink.

Good signals from ARISSat-1 with transistion from eclipse to sunlight here
this morning.
Apx. 6 second spin period puts deep nulls in transmitted signal. - Not sure
if this is due to linear polarisation of my receive antenna or blockage from
spacecraft.
Managed to capture just 3 tlm frames and '2 Kursk frames' . (mission time
29997-30018) However, software forwarded zero frames via internet (?).
If recording to a .wav file, CW positioned to be 500Hz seems to work well.
