Hi Guys,
Been asked by the student that is running some tests on the very
simple camera that we are
installing on KiwiSAT, what the cost would be of a commercial satellite
surveillance camera.
He has not found any prices despite web searching - and I haven't done
much better!
He wants to contrast the cost of our simple unit to a proper industrial
one in a .ppt presentation on
his findings.
Can someone out there in the business give us an idea of the range from
the simplest to the most
sophisticated? (Has to be mega bucks!)
( Cost of ours ?- about $100! But flown successfully and reliably (for
our purpose) on several
Cubesats!!!)
Thanks

RELEASE: 11-343
NASA TRANSFERS ENDEAVOUR TITLE TO CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER
WASHINGTON -- NASA transferred title and ownership of space shuttle
Endeavour to the California Science Center (CSC) during a ceremony
Tuesday at the center in Los Angeles. The transfer is the first step
toward CSC receiving Endeavour in the latter half of 2012.
"NASA is pleased to share this wonderful orbiter with the California
Science Center to help inspire a new generation of explorers," NASA
Administrator Charles Bolden said. "The next chapter in space
exploration begins now, and we're standing on the shoulders of the
men and women of the shuttle program to reach farther into the solar
system."
Bolden announced April 12 that CSC was one of four institutions
nationwide to receive a shuttle. After display preparation and
post-mission work are complete, NASA will deliver Endeavour on the
747 shuttle carrier aircraft to Los Angeles International Airport.
>From there, the shuttle will be driven through the streets of Los
Angeles to its destination at the Science Center in Exposition Park.
"Endeavour now will begin its new mission to stimulate an interest in
science and engineering in future generations at the science center,"
California Science Center President Jeffrey Rudolph said.
For information about where all the retired space shuttles will be
displayed, visit:

I think someone already said that there are no such thing as physical slots.
Slots are FREQUENCY based. Meaning their separation only has to be as
great as the beamwidth of the grouind based antennas that will use them IF
they are on he SAME frequency.
So "C" band satellites were originally at 4 degree separation (10 foot
dishes) then went to 2 degree separation by making evrey other TV channel be
oppositely polarized.
Such spacing only applies to large constellatiosn of birds on the SAME
identical frequency plans. (such as consumer TV downlinks).
If we had ground receive antennas that had beamwidths the width of the moon,
then we couild have nearly 720 slots (each 0.5 deg wide). If a GEO
constellation used laser communications links, with user ground stations
using OPTICAL telescopes, there could be a million slots because the
telescopes could resolve them down to .0003 degrees?
Oh, for HAMS with an OSCAR array and beamwidths of say 30 degrees, then
there could be 12 slots.

Radio fraternity to provide the CW Beacon signal Report along with the
plain decoded morse message, if possible.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated, as this would be
very helpful to evaluate various ob-board system performance.
'Jugnu' beacon is at 437.275 MHz, OOK.

Hi All,
In response to Trevor's questions, the current board design is about
3.2 cm x 3.2 cm x 4 mm. At that size, we can fit about 200 in a 1U
CubeSat (stacked 3x3x22). We're pretty sure we can thin that down a
little more by using thinner PCBs. If we get way more than 200, we
can always go to a 2U or 3U CubeSat.
What I'd really like to do, however, if we can get enough sponsors, is
to make a custom ASIC. If we can make custom silicon, we can get the
size and the price way down. This may not be realistic this time
around, but it is something I really want to pursue if I can get the
money.
As far as power, the Sprites are around 10 mW, and yes, they need
solar power, so they won't operate through eclipse. They do, however
have a bank of capacitors to buffer the power coming out of the solar
cells, so tumbling won't be a problem.
Thanks,
Zac

ARISsat performance.
Very poor performance of ARIssat over ZL today (7 passes.). All passes in
Low Power Mode except the last which was in Emergency mode. All passes were
fully sunlit and had been on for 30 minutes or more before my AOS. A few
went to high power mode for a minute or two mid pass but quickly reverted to
low power mode.

Hello All,
The PSLV C-18 Mission is a Grand success. All the four satellites were
successfully injected into their precise orbits.
The Jugna was injected at 05:56 UT and the beacon will turn ON at
06:31 UT. It is expected that the Jugnu at that time should be
somewhere over N.W of South America. Any early signal report 0n
437.275 CW from around this part of the World would be greatly
appreciated.

Our sincere thanks to OM.Shamai 4Z1WS from Israel. His report from
Israel was the 'First' indication for us about the beacon 'ON'
status.The decoded CW text message by Shamai 4Z1WS indicated the
nominal performance of the spacecraft.
Subsequently, the beacon was heard by me, Nittin VU3TYG and Guru

We look forward for more 'Critical' signal reports across the Globe in

plain decoded morse message, if possible.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated, as this would be?
very helpful to evaluate various ob-board system performance.

Hello Fellow Amateurs,
We have received our first report from Ian Ashley, ZL1AOX, from New Zealand
about successful copying of the beacon.
--------------------------
CW copied in New Zealand at location RF72mv from 11:24 to 11:37 on
437.425+-, 13th October 2011.
Thought I was recording but it didn't start. Sorry.
Signals fairly weak and MixW wouldn't decode but OK to the human ear!
Congratulations on a successful launch and deployment.
Regards
