Trevor,
The TARDIS has approximately the same aspect ratio at a 2U Cubesat, though
there would be some raised
eyebrows at the PPOD integration. :) Still, there is the nucleus of an idea
here. The problem is to
come up with something which would attract support from people outside the
normal ham community, but
be worth the effort of the builders to actually make it work. Reality is a
stern master, and teaches
hard, expensive lessons.
73s,
Alan
WA4SCA

$33,000 isn't a lot of money .... I mean for a community project ... no I
don't have $33K to kick in ... but maybe I have $100 for LEO cube sat with
a linear transponder .... in an orbit that lasts more than 3 weeks ....
Let's say launch is $33K and satellite costs are another $10K ... $43K Total
That's 430 people contributing $100 .... or 860 people contributing $50
.... I've seen High School fundraisers at this level.

Maybe everyone needs to hold a good ol' fashioned fund-raiser, with people
going door-to-door, asking for donations.
Start this on January 1, 2014, and end it on December 31. Calculate all the
earnings, and bring it to whoever can get the project underway, and launched.
We could probably litter LEO, MEO, and HEO with FM birds, or whatever
flavors we like.
At the very least, we need replacements for AO-51 and HO-68.

D STAR AMSAT users net tonight at 0100 UTC now back on REF60B
DX Stations welcomed
I know there are several satellite users out there who have D STAR, so put
a posted note up for the net tonight
Looks like AMSAT/UK has a DSTAR satellite in the works

WREN plans to launch in UNISAT-5 on a Dnepr from Yasny in late November and
should be deployed from UNISAT-5 about a month later.

Hi everyone,
I'm a current member of CUSat at Cornell University. As you may know, we
are a student-run team, winner of the University Nanosat-4 competition and
recently launched with Falcon 9 in September. We have currently been having
issues hearing CUSat and would appreciate any help! Below is some tracking
information information:
- *Beacon Downlink Frequency:* 437.405 MHz FM (UHF band)
- *Beaconed Callsign:* BOTTOM
- *FCC Callsign:* WG2XTI
- *Data Rate:* 1200 baud
- *Modulation:* AFSK
- *Transmit Interval:* Every 1 minute
- *RF Power Output:* 2.2 W
- *Antenna Polarization:* Linear
If get any results or have any questions at all please email us at
public@xxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.
Visit cusat.cornell.edu if you would like to learn more about our program.
Thanks!
