Anthony,
Thank you for giving us a better perspective on what it is like to be
involved in these sorts of projects. I, for one, really appreciate all you
guys do and I am having a blast trying to track and decode the telemetry. I
have not been very successful but one is never too old to learn, and I am
learning a lot. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the success in the
world at whatever path your professional career takes you.
========
To the rest of you, especially all the whiners:
I have included Anthony's posting just in case any of your missed it. Read
it over and over and over until you understand what this is really all
about. Have fun!
73,

I think having stations set up to do that ranging would be neat to have if
nothing else for an education opportunity.
As a student working on building and launching one of these little
nano-satellites I would like to see one thing cleared up. These are NOT
University satellites, they are student satellites. They are designed and
built by students, funded through grants and donations arranged by
students. Universities provide little more then an framework
for organizing these sorts of projects. So if the university is going to
chip in to some fund on behalf of those helping track the satellites, then
it would be really nice for them to through some money at the building of
the satellites. At my school the department sponsoring our project has to
pay the university rent for the space we take up in a building "owned" by
the department for a project made up entirely of tuition paying students.
We may only pay around $7-15K in tuition, and another $5-10K in housing,
food, books, etc. but most of us if we are lucky can make about half our
yearly costs from summer jobs or internships. The rest we scrounge for
scholarships and grants. We put in around 20 hours a week into class and
labs, another 15-40 in other school work. What little free time we have we
spend in research labs instead of watching TV, or drinking. We spend a lot
of that time trying to keep the project funded to a level that allows us to
continue. We are very aware of how much it costs to construct a station to
track satellites, and to build the satellites, and to launch the
satellites. If we are able to bring in any extra money we spend that right
back into the students we have putting 20 hours a week that they could and
probably should spend on something outside of school. We devote years into
these little boxes of electronics, in the hope that it will someday fly in
space. We reach out and connect with other students doing the same thing,
we congratulate them for their successes, and console them on their losses.
I personally was up all night watching this latest launch as one of the
cubes (E1P) was to have been launch on the Glory mission in march which
failed to reach orbit. It is now on orbit and doing fine, M-Cubed however
seams to be having issues and I will track it every chance I get to help
that team understand what is going on.
I got into nano-satellites by first being a HAM, and if I have my way
anything I put into orbit will be switched over to a BBS, APRS digi, or
even voice repeater when the scientific mission is done. That time may not
come in the operational life span of the satellite and it is very important
that it complete the mission that someone has generously paid for. If
nothing else then I hope what I learn from this endeavor will serve to
further the collective understanding of something.
I attend a state school as a student of Mechanical Engineering, I have been
dumpster diving for parts, I carry two rolls of duct tape, I find a hammer
can fix many problems, I have spent hours building things to replace tools
I either cannot afford, or cannot afford to wait for. The moral is that
these aren't multi-million dollar projects with blank checks, these are
shoestring operations that have to take things one step at a time. If you
don't want to help out the next generation of aerospace engineers and
rocket scientists that's up to you. We won't turn down help, but many of us
have grown to expect nothing from anyone. We will build a ladder so we can
through our satellite into orbit if we have to.
I'm sorry if I seam over passionate or long winded, but please keep in mind
that I have watched for several years as budgets have been cut, my tuition
and living expenses goes up, and my income and financial-aid remain the
same. It is like a broken record (yes I know what records are) to hear
people complain about a short term inconvenience and offer a solution that
threatens long term progress.

RELEASE: 11-370
NASA AND SPACE FLORIDA SMALL SATELLITE RESEARCH CENTER PARTNER IN SPACE
LAUNCH CHALLENGE
WASHINGTON -- NASA has signed an agreement with the Space Florida
Small Satellite Research Center of Cape Canaveral, Florida, to manage
the Nano-Satellite Launch Challenge, one of the agency's new
Centennial Challenges prize competitions.
The Nano-Satellite Launch Challenge is to launch satellites with a
mass of at least 2.2 pounds (1 kg) into Earth orbit, twice within the
span of one week. The new challenge has a NASA-provided prize purse
of $2 million.
The objective of the competition is to encourage innovations in
propulsion and other technologies, as well as operations and
management relevant to safe, low-cost, small payload delivery system
for frequent access to Earth orbit. Innovations stemming from this
challenge will be beneficial to broader applications in future launch
systems. They may enhance commercial capability for dedicated
launches of small satellites at a cost comparable to secondary
payload launches -- a potential new market with government,
commercial, and academic customers.
"Monday's agreement between NASA and Space Florida for use of
facilities at the Kennedy Space Center even better positions the
organization for managing this new Nano-Satellite Launch Challenge,"
said Michael Gazarik, director for NASA's Space Technology Program at
NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Space Florida has extensive
experience working with NASA, the FAA, the Air Force, commercial
spaceflight companies and universities to advance their plans for
spaceflight operations. We look forward to having the Space Florida
Small Satellite Research Center overseeing the competition and
bringing together innovative teams with creative problem-solving
ideas."
Space Florida submitted a proposal last spring in response to a NASA
solicitation for this partnership opportunity. They will now begin
detailed preparations for the challenge, publishing rules and then
registering competitors. The first competition launch attempt is
expected to take place in the summer of 2012.
The Centennial Challenges seek unconventional solutions to problems of
interest to NASA and the nation. Competitors have included private
companies, student groups and independent inventors working outside
the traditional aerospace industry. Unlike contracts or grants,
prizes are awarded only after solutions are successfully
demonstrated.
NASA's Centennial Challenges program provides the prize purse for the
technology and innovation competitions. The competitions are managed
by non-profit organizations that cover the cost of operations through
commercial or private sponsorships.
In October, NASA awarded the largest prize in aviation history
following Pipistrel-USA's win of the agency's CAFE Green Flight
Challenge, sponsored by Google. NASA's $1.35 million first prize and
a $120,000 second prize recognized competitors using electric
airplanes to break all previous fuel efficiency records. The
technology and innovation used in electric aircraft may end up in
general aviation aircraft, spawning new jobs and new industries for
the 21st century.
There have been 22 Centennial Challenges competition events since
2005. NASA has awarded nearly $6 million to 15 different
challenge-winning teams. Centennial Challenges is one of the ten
Space Technology programs, managed by NASA's Office of the Chief
Technologist. For more information about the program and descriptions

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
I remember a note sometime ago that the keeper of the www.ao27.org web site
who is also the keeper/sender of the TOPR timing information for the
satellite was on a hiatus and that was the explanation of why the web site
was not available and the updates to the epoch.txt and topr.txt files that
the AO-27 scheduler do not work.
It has now been several months since then and still the sites do not work
and the software scheduler program will not get updates because the domain
is unavailable. It did eventually say that it updated the files
successfully but it did take quite a while.
Any word on what the status is and more importantly, are the timings for
AO-27 being updated periodically to allow for clock drift and orbital
changes. Since the turn-on/turn-off schedule is important to the long term
survival of the bird and knowing the timings are important to successfully
working it, I wonder what is happening here? It
Thanks and 73

Why do you need to build it from source? There are binaries of 1.3
available here:
http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/X/Applications/Science/gpredict/
Never built it on my Mac, only on Linux from SVN so can help with that but
the binaries should
get you going.
