The Verge reports how ordinary people are funding a new wave of rocket and
satellite missions.

The video features Zac Manchester KD2BHC from the Kicksat project, Peter
Platzer of ArduSat and Rouslan Dimitrov of SkyCube.

There is also a report on Copenhagen Suborbitals who are building a rocket
to carry a human to the edge of space and back.

Watch the video and read the story at

The more eagle-eyed amongst us have spotted that about 9 seconds into this
video it includes shots of the FUNcube-1 engineering model stack, with a
antenna deployment simulator attached to it, obviously taken recently but I
have absolutely no idea how they came by it:)

Amen.  Also there are TWO flight ready PSK-31 uplink with FM downlink
transponders also ready to fly built By Mirek at Brno University.  Ideal
for a Cubesat.

They allow up to 20 or more simultaneous PSK-31 users on a 28 MHz uplink
to all appear full duplex in the 435 MHz FM downlink that anyone can
receive on any FH HT.  Run PSK31 software and see all the conversations
and transmit all 8 minutes of the pass and join the fun talking to
everyone at once..

All the advantages of linear transponders (20 simultaneous users) and all
the advantages of FM (simple 5 Khz Doppler tuning using any old FM radio).
And it fits on a 3" square card.
See details: http://aprs.org/psk31uplink2.html

All we need is someone to fly it.

I'm replying to a recent post about an Canadian Astronaut not being a ham.
I have seen posted somewhere I believe the AMSAT website that Amateur radio
is a guest on the ISS. Its up to the individual astronaut if they want to
become a ham. Personally I'm grateful there is a ham radio station on board
the ISS. If one astronaut chooses not to operate that means more time for
another to operate.

I have a 500' roll. Send me an SASE to my callbook address and note to
remind me how much you need. If you feel so compelled, drop a donation in
the Fox paypal widget on my QRZ page.

This is an open offer to all. I'll send reasonable amounts if you send an
SASE with sufficient postage.

Not to ask the obvious, but is the general cubesat community aware? A simple
message to the cubesat lists may be fruitful.

David VK4zF made a nice suggestion,
orbit numbers, to avoid time zone terminology confusion.

Here is the updated timetable.

Please remember, in order to participate in the experimentand be eligible
for a QSL,
you must be registered with the principal investigator.

You're good Graham.

I had to freeze frame the video.....but then you can see the callsign PA3WEG
on the masking tape.
