To whom it may concern... if one goes to AMSAT's webpage and looks under
'Services' menu and clicks 'Mailing lists' or 'Archives' the page that comes
up is blank. I had to use google to find the new mailman list page with
appropriate info and the new archives.

Wait .... wasn't AMSAT-DL always the lead when it came to Phase-3
satellites ???

Also, AMSAT-DL has a platform already constructed awaiting launch
opportunity.

http://amsat-uk.org/2013/02/25/the-next-amsat-phase-3-satellite/

Issues with ITAR aside, why can't we just support our international
partners ... somehow ... ???

Getting an amateur radio satellite into orbit costs real green dollars
(Euros, GBP, whatever) we would do better pooling resources for the good of
all.

There are all kinds of players in the launch market these days .... US,
ESA,  Russia, China, Japan, India .... and a lot of up and coming private
launch vendors .... call me naive but I think conditions are BETTER now
(ITAR aside) than they were in the days of AO-10 ....

Why can't we focus on the possibilities .... ????

Dear all,

I am writing you to inform you about the activities of GAUSS related to the
launch of nano-satellites systems. GAUSS is a newly founded company that
aims at combining the experience gained in the last fifteen years of
research activities at the Scuola di Ingegneria Aerospaziale - Sapienza
University of Roma with the present scenario in the world of
nano-satellites. By the end of this year, eight nano-satellites among
Cubesats and Pocketqubs will be delivered to orbit as the first customers
of the GAUSS launch service.
Due to recently signed agreements, GAUSS can offer a wide range of launch
opportunities over the next years. In particular, I would like to call your
attention on the following opportunities:

- DNEPR cluster launch 2013, scheduled for the first half of 2014
- Launches from the International Space Station, scheduled for 2014 and 2015
- Cyclone IV maiden flight, scheduled for 2015

We will be glad to answer any question from you and to provide with more
details about possible orbits, launch dates and prices. In the meantime,
you might also like to take a look to our website, www.gaussteam.com, where
you will find information also on our products for nano-satellites.

GAUSS representatives attend the main space and satellites related
conferences around the world. We will be present with a stand at the 64th
International Astronautic Congress to be held in Beijing from September 23
to 27.

Looking forward to hear from you and your satellites projects very soon!

Filippo Graziani

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed; delsp=no

After a hiatus of several years (since 1986) I am dusting off my KLM
antennas and again assembling my satellite station.
The rig has been upgraded to a Yaesu FT-847 and the U400 rotators
replaced with a Yaesu G5500 with LVB tracker.

A few years ago I purchased a Microwave Modules MMG 144/V mast mounted
preamp.  The seller did not have the manual or installation instructions
for the preamp.
Microwave Modules is no longer in business and I can not find the manual
on the web.

Does anyone on the list have a manual that you can share?

I look forward to working the birds again.

Thank you.

AMSAT-DL was the lead for phase 3 because they were able to get almost-free
launches from ESA. However, ESA terminated that policy 10 years ago and
AMSAT-DL has been trying to get government funding through their Mars
program. That was rejected a year or two ago. Private launch companies are
asking for $8,000,000..The world-wide fund raising by AMSAT-DL, AMSAT-UK,
AMSAT-NA, AMSAT-Japan, ARRL and RSGB for each of the phase 3 launches
acheived less than 10% of what is now required for a launch.

In the past, a launch opportunity was identified by ESA and then a satellite
was built by AMSAT. P3E did the reverse -- building a satellite and hoping
for a launch. I brought up AMSAT-DL because someone was complaining that
AMSAT-NA was leading them on about HEO possibilities. They should review
videos of the AMSAT-DL presentations at the annual AMSAT-UK meetings.
AMSAT-NA has been much more realistic.

I don't think we'll ever be in a position to "buy" a launch the most we
will ever be able to do  is hope to piggy-back with a paying customer and
possibly contribute to "expenses."

Maybe having a payload "on the shelf ready" isn't such a bad plan .... if a
"short window of opportunity" were to open up ... and we had nothing ready
that would be an opportunity lost. Maybe we should have various payloads
sitting on the shelf (cube, micro, mini, P3) just in case.

Piggy-back rides is how Amateur Radio Satellites got their start .... it's
the only way to continue.

The problem is that the government is no longer paying for those expenses as
they did in the past.

 The problem is that the government is no longer paying for those expenses
as
 they did in the past. The $8,000,000 is the incremental cost not the cost
of the
entire launch.
