Hi All,
Just popped outside from the IARU Region 1 Conference meeting to catch an
ARISSAT pass.
Good signals with an Arrow and a FCD and also using a G0MRF prototype filter
amplifier with 5v being supplied by the Dongle. (Thanks David for the loan)
Voice telemetry reported MET of 41 mins - which corresponds very well to
when it left eclipse over the Pacific. Battery volts 35.74 and current -4ma
The signal had no fading but several occasional ~ 100 msec breaks in
transmission were noted.

I just failed to identify a ZS station using the transponder!

Thought other tracking nuts like myself would enjoy this article on the
NAVSPACR fence(s)... N8UX.

Yes Phil, you are correct. Communications and earth observation in orbit are
great examples of space applications that have succeeded. But, they are also
things that we've already done. I admit that there is probably more to
explore
and learn here, near to us, but I was really thinking about more distant space
exploration. Our planet is pretty boring from the perspective that we are
here,
and get get around on it to see what's on the surface. Subsurface exploration
in the Ocean (I'd like to know a lot more about those now underwater cities
that
appear to have been buried by catastrophic floods from ICE age ice dams
breaking), and other deep earth observations would be a good thing to learn
more
about what is going on without planet and how we are affecting.
Higher orbit or distant communications systems are exciting. A repeater or
two
on the moon for example would be something that we might try and be ready to
provide should a moon mission come up on the horizon.

I normally go to the PiperMail page to see latest posts by date.
But I cannot see anything there since August 10 ...

MEDIA ADVISORY: M11-169
MISSISSIPPI AND LOUISIANA STUDENTS TO CALL SPACE STATION ASTRONAUTS
WASHINGTON -- Students gathered at NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center
in Mississippi will place a long distance call to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station at 1:35 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Aug.
18.
Mississippi and Louisiana students in kindergarten through twelfth
grade will ask Expedition 28 Flight Engineers Ron Garan, Mike Fossum
and Satoshi Furukawa questions related to mass and weight. The
experience is designed to enhance the students' understanding of
scientific principles, physics and space. Stennis' education office
is hosting the call, which will include a video link with the three
astronauts and will be broadcast live on NASA Television.
To attend, journalists must contact Rebecca Strecker at 228-688-3249
no later than 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 17, to arrange for clearance
and escort to the event.
This in-flight education downlink is one in a series with educational
organizations in the United States and abroad to improve teaching and
learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics studies.
It is an integral component of NASA's Teaching From Space education
program, which promotes learning opportunities and builds
partnerships with the education community using the unique
environment of space and NASA's human spaceflight program.
The exact time of the downlink could change. For the latest NASA TV
schedule, visit:

Hallo
Here is record of ARISSAT-1 telemetry (19 frames and 18 Kursk frames):
http://www.enduro.idl.pl/temp/arissat_1_telemetry_15_08_2011_1830.mp3
Today evening, UTC time, very good signal, no transponder and SSTV signals
were heard.
I have only 1 qso via arissat-1 transponder, with IW6OVD.
It is very interesting listening and decoding this telemetry.
