Subject: Antares Launch Viewing Information
To All Orbital Employees:
Next week, we are scheduled to carry out the first flight of our new
Antares space launch vehicle from Wallops Island, Virginia. The current
launch date for the test flight is April 17, with a targeted launch time of
5:00 p.m. (EDT). The available window extends until 8:00 p.m., if
necessary, to accommodate any pre-launch holds in the countdown that may
arise.
The Antares launch will be webcast over NASA.gov and broadcast on NASA TV
beginning at 4:00 p.m. (EDT). A NASA host, Kyle Herring, and our own John
Steinmeyer of LSG will provide commentary for the broadcast.
<Orbital employee related information deleted>
NASA has designated the Wallops Visitor?s Center and Assateague Beach as
the public viewing sites. Live audio commentary will be provided at the
Visitor?s Center location. In addition, in the local Wallops area, WCTG-FM
96.5 will be broadcasting live mission updates. Here is the Wallops
information on public viewing:
http://www.nasa.gov/centers/wallops/missions/launchviewing.html
Resources:
For an overview of the mission, the attached Antares A-ONE mission overview
PDF file provides information about the timing and sequence of the flight
milestones. WD3Q: I will try and provide this to the AMSAT website)
The link to the NASA TV broadcast/webcast will be updated on launch day,
but this is the address to access the broadcast:
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
You can review many of the progress milestones we have made on the Antares
rocket and Cygnus spacecraft by accessing our archive website at:

For other information about the broadcast and media activities surrounding
the launch, you can visit NASA?s page at:

GO ANTARES!

Hi John,
Last night's VO-52 pass (around 0315z??) was normal signal levels.
Only unusual thing was about half way through the pass (as sat was
over northern US) it seemed to be picking up some sort of interference
... I was watching the entire downlink passband on the SDR waterfall
and there was a 10kHz wide swath of "static" type noise that migrated
through the passband. As the noise moved through the center of the
passband, it greatly reduced my downlink signals. I don't have any
solid evidence, but my gut feeling is that the noise had nothing to do
with VO-52 itself, but was instead something below that was
transmitting hash on the uplink.
Overall, VO-52 works great for me, I use it every day or two on
evening passes over northern California.
73!

See http://amsat-uk.org/2013/04/12/lituanicasat-1/
It looks like there's many more CubeSats being deployed from the ISS as well
as LituanicaSAT-1.
