On this orbit ARISSat-1 came out of eclipse about 1025 UTC but didn't
switch to
high power until about 1041 UTC. At 1041 UTC the battery was at 33.078 V.
By 1048 UTC the battery was up to 33.5 V and ARISSat-1 was still in high
power.

Larry and Mike:
Thanks for the info. I had forgotten about the call sign color indicating
the camera. My "my mystery object" is always in the GREEN (+Z) view, so it
is clearly on the spacecraft, and as Mike says, I suppose that is likely the
2M antenna. The shape is what confused me...it appears to be flat with a
kink on the end, which is not what it looks like from pre-launch pictures.
But this is a different angle too.
The other thing that led me astray was that some other photos had a straight
line in them which I took to be the 2M. See for example
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/uploads/3376.jpg. However, now that I
remember the color key, I can see that it does not appear in every view from
the same camera, and in fact there are similar artifacts even in a few +Z
views. So it must be something external; maybe some artifact due to glare
(it always seems bright).
Anyway, thanks. This is really cool stuff!

Subject: [amsat-bb] Any ARISSat-1 news/updates from the project team ?
Message-ID: <000001cc5823$e17eb960$a47c2c20$@xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Just a kind request to the ARISSat-1 team,
Via this amsat-bb a lot of early feedback is provided on the satellite.
Often new satellites fail shortly after launch, so it is key to collect as
much a possible data in these early days. Many people do this already.
However, we also have many questions and report observations,
(as an example the high/low power mode switching over VK) without
any reply from the project team directly. Btw I have to say that on BPSK
topics Phil Karn & Douglas Quagliana are really doing a great job in
discussing the results and giving feedback (thanks guys - very learnful !).
IMHO way to much information is still not made available, or scattered
around on various websites, sometimes even in articles of magazines ...
Last Twitter post (tweet) was on Aug 3.
Last News post to www.arissat1.org was on Aug 5.
As an example: I still have no clue on the operational mode switching
sequences, like voice... sstv, but also: when will which type of BPSK
be transmitted, how long are the transmission sequences, what is
the TX off-period.
Please don't take this as an offend, I know we are all very busy. But
really,
if we want to interest new people - we have to step up and provide more
and better information about the mission which was announced so widely.
>From a technical point of view the project seems like a big success; the
SDX is working just fine, and we have with a broken (?) antenna still a
great uplink capability. Let's celebrate this success and further exploit
the momentum that we have now.
Would be a nice start to have a daily summary of which parts of the system
have been tested, are working, etc. etc.
Of course, let me know if I can be of any help !
(subject to the US ITAR regulations of course)

The straight object you see in your example
(http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/uploads/3376.jpg )is an effect of
lens flare and the camera sensors being overwhelmed by the sun. The object
present in all of the green call sign images is the tip of the antenna. The
Kapton tape extends beyond the whip and does curl a bit.

Not everybody uses Celestrak.
I've been asked by several people that use Amsat or ARRL keps to keep
posting them until their supply of keps catch up.
I don't understand why EVERYONE doesn't get theirs directly from
Space-Track. That way, you specify exactly the set of keps you wish to
receive.

Thank you Henk for the observations.
First of all we (being a handful of people) are extremely busy doing many
different functions. I was up until 4am working on trying to figure out
problems with the experiment data.
We just came to a determination about the switching low to high power mode,
it is behaving as expected. I will put something out about it soon. I have
two teleconferences this morning.
I haven't come up with anything exciting worth a news post until today. Do
you have something I missed?
The operational FM mode switching is described on the arissat1 site under
FAQ ARISSat-1 Signals,
http://www.arissat1.org/v3/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=b
log&id=62&Itemid=138
The think the High Power/Low Power modes have been explained many times and
places. High Power - Everything is on all the time,
Low Power - Everything is on for about 30 secs and off for 2 minutes
There are a number of things that I want to improve on the web site, but
managing things, writing content and learning the web site are getting done
as fast as I can.
The bottom line is only a few people are doing many things.
73,
Gould, WA4SXM

Hi Everyone,
Quick update -- the previous post about this coming Saturday's trip to
CM79 by the SCRA had incorrect predictions (sorry guys, I didn't
double-check them before forwarding the notice on, but thanks to Rick
WA4NVM for catching this). See below for the updated ones. Looks
like they'll be using an Elk antenna and an HT, and they plan to try
two AO27 and AO51 passes. I'll be listening out for them!

Dave and Rick
Maybe I was using outdated TLE before (I had just Orbitron ?on a new
computer.)
I re-ran with Orbitron with current TLE's and came up with this.
Does it match your results for Saturday?
They match up with Satellite Tracker Plus which I have on my Iphone.

EL41 is not in the USA so, unless the guy was maritime mobile or portable in
Mexico, I think the grid is incorrect.

I didn't listen to the entire pass here:

But N8RO is a good guess; however I believe his grid is EM00...
