Dear Ham friends,
JAXA has postponed the deployment of FITSAT-1.
I made mistake. My following explanation is wrong:
> The orbit is almost the same as ISS. Jaxa said FITSAT
> delays 200 m from ISS for one cycle around the world.
> As it goes around 16 times a day, it delays 3.2km per day.
> If 10 days have passed after deployment, FITSAT passes
> the same point of ISS after 4 sec (32km/8km=4).
JAXA said FITSAT goes away 200m from ISS for one cycle,
not delays.
As FITSAT is pushed out backward from ISS, its speed goes
down, and the altitude decreases.
As the altitude is lower than ISS, FITSAT goes around
the world faster than ISS. So, FITSAT advances than ISS.
Best Regards,
73

Flex has posted a nice guide to using SATPC32 with the Flex 5000 VU5K.
http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=404
Along with the SATPC32-specific details, there is information of use to
satellite operators in general.

The conclusion of the recent WRC conference left open issues concerning the
allocation of spectrum for pico and nano satellites. The requirement was
identified as serious and will be an agenda item at the next WRC. In my
opinion, this will put pressure on ham allocations from 5.8 GHz and down. I
read about this in the current issue of ViaSatellite magazine, a publication
geared to the commercial satellite industry. You can read the article in
their online version of the magazine at:

My Apologies in advance, this is off topic, however this is an important
election, Mike was part of our team that spoke with Rep. Pete King on HR
607, thank you. WB2OQQ
AMSAT- HUDSON DIVISION ARRL MEMBERS
I am supporting Mike Lisenco N2YBB for the position of Hudson Division
Director. Mike has a long history of service to the Amateur Radio community.
He is currently the Section Manager for the New York City/Long Island Section.
Mike has demonstrated that he understands both the hobby and the service
aspects of Amateur Radio. He is an active ham who participates in Emergency
Communications. He was an ARES District and Section Emergency Coordinator
and a RACES Radio Officer. He also enjoys operating in contests, chasing DX,
and just plain ragchewing.
His extensive field experience gives him the knowledge base to understand
the policies that need to be instituted by the ARRL. I believe he will bring
new ideas and a fresh approach to the League. He listens to the opinions of
the membership and incorporates their ideas into his plans
There are 15 Directors in the ARRL. Their purpose is to develop policy that
affects all hams for years to come. Leadership from the Hudson Division
Director is crucial to the future success of Amateur Radio. . I know that
Mike is strong enough to represent the interests of the Hudson Division in
Newington. He has the time and the ability to best represent all of us. In
my opinion, he is the right choice for the job.
It is important that you vote. Starting October 1 balloting will be open for
ARRL Hudson Division Director for those who have an email address on file
with ARRL. You will receive instructions on how to vote electronically.
Paper ballots will be mailed for those ARRL members who don't have an email
on file.
Join me in voting for Mike N2YBB when balloting begins next week. If you
would like more info about Mike, go to his website www.hudsonhams.com
73, Pete

Thanks Howie,
There's also a text version of the article at
http://www.satellitetoday.com/via/globalreg/Nano-and-Pico-Satellites_39485.htm
l
What struck me as odd from the paper circulated at WRC 2012 was the concept
of creating a new ITU Radio Service based on the size of the equipment that
would house the radio transmitter.
There is, however, no denying that the Amateur-satellite Service requires
more spectrum. The key spectrum for us is at VHF/UHF below 1 GHz but we only
have two allocations - 435-438 MHz on a secondary basis, shared with the
Military, SAR satellites and others, and the 144 MHz band of which only 200
kHz, 144.8-146 MHz, is available to us.
You can see that when the QB50 project deploys 50 CubeSats it's going to put
the available spectrum under stress.
Hopefully US members are periodically reminding ARRL of the need for
additional Amateur-satellite Service spectrum (Earth-to-Space and
Space-to-Earth) in the VHF/UHF 40-1000 MHz region. Global allocations at
2300 and 3400 MHz are also needed.
