Hi Joe,
they might not be turned off, but turned on! Some satellites are only
turned on over certain regions.

Graham - Thanks for your efforts with the IARU in starting the movement
to get the additional satellite segment. I know a lot of work on your
part and others on your team went into getting this to happen after many
years of discussions. As I understand it, work is under way to
harmonized this new segment with all regions so no need for satellite
turn off-on issues.
I wish folks would see the additional satellite segment as a big plus in
off loading a little pressure for 145.8 to 146 MHz instead of being
concerned with possible negatives - which I don't see. Golly, we can use
every little bit of spectrum.
Thanks again...Bill - N6GHz

Hi Bill,
I believe folks actually see the value and yes appreciate it. The point is
"communication". The more information is shared the better and the more
questions raised the better. It helps to fine tune the issue and allows for
an exchange of information, clearing up misconceptions, and sometimes even
points to issues that can be adressed :-) That's what this list is all
about.

This is a bit outside of the realm of traditional amateur satellite
launches but I found it to be very interesting nonetheless. Some fans of a
popular scifi show have raised the money to launch a replica of the show's
time-and-space traveling ship into orbit this fall. From what I know of it
so far, it will but a fully functioning sat within a very unusual chassis
and will feature a GoPro camera mounted inside with the intention to
transmit photos back to earth. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding
any real technical information on this "blue bird" but maybe someone here
knows more about it? All I could find was a very brief spec sheet.
Here's a link to their KickStarter page as well as their official website.

Wonder if we can get a bunch of Star Trek fans to pay for a replica
Enterprise launched into HEO. Perhaps the navigational deflector can be a
high gain S-band downlink antenna.

Hi Joshua,
The antenna looks 145/437 doesn't it. They are manifested on an Interorbital
Systems launch http://www.interorbital.com/?but when the launch will take
place is unknown, presumably a year or more from now.?
It's a 310 km orbit so would only operate for a few weeks before burning up.

It certainly shows the power of crowd-funding doesn't it.
$88,880 raised in just 30 days, for box similar in size to a 3U CubeSat that
has a flashing blue LED on top (the most important part is that LED ;-) and
which even if the launch is successful will only stay in orbit for 3 or 4
weeks.
Bottom line is that, if given the chance, people are prepared to donate
large sums of money to be involved in something to do with space.
Your idea of an Enterpise replica is great, but all it really needs to be is
a tiny model Enterprise that is ejected out of a 3U CubeSat.
Although I hate to say it StarTrek has a far bigger fan following than Dr.
Who so the money raised could be proportionally greater.

Well that's certainly a shame. But I think the group sending it up is
unaware that it's going to burn up
within a few weeks. The whole push for funding was that donators could
have personal data loaded on to the sat for posterity. Not much point to
that if it's going to be promptly destroyed in a number of days.

I see the Miami Herald reports that radio amateurs are using crowd-funding
for a Near Space balloon launch by Charleston students. Looks a good
educational project.
