Hi Graham, G3VZV
Edusat has been built by students of the university "La Sapienza" in Roma
Italy but since no technical informations has been released and it transmit
only telemetry in GMSK when over Roma it seems that Edusat is not of
interest for the satellite amateur community but without the coordination
of the IARU Frequency Coordination Panel it seems that Edusat is another
bad strategy to use our frequency for private use without to pay for.

Thanks Mike and Roland, I was curious about the relative value that our
telemetry had to the project (i.e. was there a deluge, not enough, just
right).
A question for all, for a few days now my ARISSatTLM has been reporting
the Kursk as being (I believe, I'm not at home to check right now)
something like Kursk-944.x or perhaps it was Kursk-444.x (some real low
number compared to previous in my log) and it has not reported any new
Kursk frames for the past 3 days or so at least on the ARISSatTLM display.
I see from Mike's page that my Kursk to Telem ratio is lower than many.
Is the Kursk data affected by the battery state, or is my ARISSatTLM
perhaps hung up on that and needs a restart? Anyone else, what are the
latest Kursk frames that you are seeing?
Thanks and 73,
Jerry

This is very sad news. I met Mark in person in 2002 or so on one of my many
trips to Bar Harbor Maine. We became acquainted by sending text messages via
MIR then ISS. Marks love of the MIR/ISS packet network was very profound.
Last time I had dinner with Mark while passing through Ellsworth on my way
to work on the Bucks Harbor ARSR4 radar he gave me an 8x10 picture of him
with the race car he was involved in. I just went out in the garage and
found it and plan on framing it and hanging it in my shack. Mark will be
missed on the ISS.....

Hi all:I received this from Phil, N1EP. I thought there would be a number of
you that might like to know.Pete, K1HZU
Hello Folks,
If you have not heard already, local (Franklin/Ellsworth) ham Mark Austin,
KB1GVR, became a silent key on August 8. Graveside services will be this
Thursday, Aug 18, at 11AM at Woodbine cemetery in Ellsworth.
Mark was very prolific in space communications. In 2002, he told me that he
was
listening to his scanner, I think in 1997, and heard Russian voices coming
over
the speaker about every hour and 36 minutes. He discovered the voices were
from
cosmonauts on board the Mir Space Station. He then started recording their
SSTV
broadcasts and then went out and bought his first computer so he could see
the
pictures he had previously recorded from the Soviet slow scan TV
transmissions.? That inspired him to earn his ham ticket so he could talk
to the cosmonauts. And talk, he did. Since then, Mark has become well known
aboard the space shuttles and International Space Station by many astronauts
and cosmonauts.
Not only has Mark talked to them on voice mode, but became extremely
proficient
at using the space station and satellites to communicate digitally. He even
discovered a new way of using one particular satellite to extend
communication
capability.
Mark had the opportunity to meet some of the spacemen he had befriended
on-the-air when he made visits to Mission Control in Houston and to Kennedy
Space Center, where he also was thrilled to watch a shuttle launch.
His enthusiasm with space communications inspired many hams to give it a
try,
including myself. His advice was spot on so that I twice successfully made
voice contacts to the space station. I also had fun with Oscar-14 with
Mark's
tips. If you operated an APRS station in Maine, you would recognize the
KB1GVR
call sign, as Mark was also an avid APRS fan.
Mark's other pastimes included racing and flying with his brother in his
plane
where his same determination brought him lots of success, rewards, and joy.
The
walls of Marks home were decorated with the many ham radio and racing
certificates and awards he had earned and his vast collection of space
communications QSL cards is amazing, as many EAWA members can attest to as
Mark
has brought them in for display in the past.
Mark was only 50 years old, but in his too-short life, he accomplished a
lot.
As N1DP said on last night's Washington County ARES Net, Godspeed Mark. We
will
miss you.
73, Phil Duggan, N1EP

G'day Jerry,
I don't think there's anything wrong with your ARISSatTLM, as I've
only been getting KURSK-944s since the 13th.
My last 'proper good' experiment frame was:
2011/08/11-08:12:48 Received Kursk frame 2 with MET=650105 len=516.
Satellite MET around then was:
2011/08/11-08:12:54 Received telemetry frame with MET=653412 Len=371
I missed the 12th, and on the 13th the telemetry and experiment MET had reset:
2011/08/13-04:34:16 Received telemetry frame with MET=2514 Len=371
...
2011/08/13-04:34:24 Received Kursk frame 3 with MET=944 len=516. Do we
have <C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\ARISSatTLM\Kursk\KURSK-944.3>?
2011/08/13-04:34:24 No. Saving to
<C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\ARISSatTLM\Kursk\KURSK-944.3>.
And from that point on, I have only received KURSK-944 frames (which
are still auto-forwarding).
2011/08/17-05:30:04 Received Kursk frame 5 with MET=944 len=48. Do we
have <C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\ARISSatTLM\Kursk\KURSK-944.5>?
2011/08/17-05:30:04 Yes.
<C:\Users\Ben\Desktop\ARISSatTLM\Kursk\KURSK-944.5> exists.
73,
Ben VK2FBRB

Hi Jerry,
... let me explain what the graph means.
All these data are based on the STP telemetry files from the AMSAT-FTP
server (Kursk / Spacecraft). Every telemetry frame exist only once.
So the graph represents NOT really the amount of submitted frames per
sender. If 10 stations listen to ARISSat and every station is forwarding the
telemetry to the server - only one packet wins. Maybe the first one (due to
the speed of internet connection or whatever).
That means if you live in New Zealand - you have a greater chance to see
your submitted packets on the server as we in Europe or you in the US.
I can confirm the second issue - regarding the KURSK files. There are no new
telemetry data on my hard disk since August 13.
I know that I have received KURSK data but they did not appear in the
telemetry directory.
But you can see on the AMSAT FTP server that the latest KURSK frames are
from Aug 16 - so they are transferred to the server...
73, Mike

I think Mark was My first 2 way packet contact on ISS and also NO 44 .
Thought I had a qsl card from Him but can't find it . He was one of the few
that could reach NO-44 when no one else was getting there . Miss You on the
birds Mark .
Congrats Kevin , not much traffic on NO-44 ( w3ado-1 ) I guess because it's
so hard to reach . Will look for You there.

No, it can hear a 5W HT (when close), but the problem is that it's battery
is dead. It can save up enough energy during a mid-day pass to maybe
support one or two successful packets. But any other packets simply kill it
back to zero.
That is what is so sad. There are a few dozen people who operte permanent
beacons on the channel just so they can be heard, but in so doing, the
unattended beacons are killing the battery that real-live people could
actually use.
If we could just get all the UNATTENDED stations on the ISS and PCSAT
(w3ado-1) uplink to be silent so that the manned stations wouidl have less
congestion (or more power on PCSAT), then maybe 1 or two packets per pass
couild be successful via PCSAT (again, though, only during mid-day when the
sun is right on its best angle to the best panel).
You can hear the problem on every packet. There is not even enough battery
amps to finish a complet4e packet.

Hi Graham,
Hope you are enjoying your trip. I also have heard breaks in
transmission, but believed this was normal. (I have only begun
properly monitoring the sat last night due to the track taking it
overhead UK very late and as it got earlier the batteries gave up so
it was off - only now is it barely still illuminated when passing)
