GAUSS have issued an update on the UniSat-5 mission, see
http://amsat-uk.org/2013/11/25/unisat-5-mission-update-november-24/
They mention that the SSTV PocketQube WREN team have detected what may be
its 437.405 MHz downlink.
Possible Keps are:?
WREN

http://amsat-uk.org/2013/10/24/wren-a-ham-radio-sstv-pocketqube/
ICUBE-1 is listed by IARU as having a BPSK beacon that has the capability of
being reconfigured to a 435/145 FM-DSB transponder.

Thanks for that explanation Bob. The members of the Eagle-2 ($50sat) team
were having this discussion last night and none of us knew the answer. Now
we do ! We were trying to determine when using the UNISAT-5 keps would no
longer be valid for $50sat.

It's not a stupid question.
You transmit FM on 435 and listen on SSB on 145, note that although the IARU
site says the ICUBE satellite has that capability no indication has yet been
given as to when or if it will be used.?

When placed in that mode, you transmit on FM voice, and listen on SSB (or I
suppose AM would work too). We did this with AO-16 after the digital system
gave up the ghost. It's a neat trick that has been integrated into some of
the commercial cubesat radio systems. You'll see this on the Triton-1 sat in
3 or so months as well.

Hi,
You listen with SSB. Unlike regular SSB, you can use either USB or LSB,
though I stick with USB.

Check out this website for software options:
http://www.qsy.to/pcr/
I don't know how well the software works with the latest operating
systems and one minor problem is that it requires a serial port, so
you'll likely need to acquire a USB-to-serial adapter if you don't
already have one.
The 0.2 uV sensitivity specified should be good enough to receive
FUNcube's telemetry.

Looking at the video, my uncalibrated eyeball counts the deployment rate at
about ? meter per second? Ie, in the first second of video, the 3 cubes
move about the same distance as their overall combined length. And in 2
seconds about the same again.
Using the still photo at the top of the page, I estimate about 10cm of
additional spacing between the 3 cubesats total or about ? meter for this
overall length. Of course there is some parallax difference between the
two views, but my guess is about 1/2m per second if the frame-timer in the
video is a rough guess.
But this is the ISS launcher which might be different from the PPOD
launchers on the Dnepr and Minotaur. Just guessing of course..
Bob, Wb4aPR
-------------original message ---------------------
Doesn?t much matter when they are released, they still are all in the same
orbit more or less for quite a while. Even if the springs release them at
1/2 meter per second, they are all going at 7000 meters per second so it
takes days for them to separate very much.
Let?s see, at ? meter per second separation, then they are 100? apart
after the first minute, 1 mile after the first hour. And not until they
are a few miles apart can NORAD distinguish them enough to start getting
good tracks on them. By then it is impossible to know which is which.
Hence the guessing game until each owner decides which object best fits his
downlink experience.
Continuing on, they will be 24 miles apart after the first day where they
will be about 5 seconds apart when tracked from the ground. After a week,
then maybe 175 miles and ? minute apart. After a month, maybe 750 miles
and 2 minutes apart. After a year, maybe 9000 miles and 30 minutes apart.
And finally, after about a year and a half, they will be half an orbit or
about 45 minutes apart, beyond which, they start getting closer again?
Something like that unless I screwed up?
Bob

Hi Brock, appears both the instruction manual and control software can be
downloaded from the Icom site at

Hope this helps....all the best at the school!

Message-ID: <5293D556.1030205@xx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I have had the same experience as Perry with AO-73 with regards to
signal problems. I have an IC-910 transceiver and a M2 2mcp14 (2
meters) and M2 436CP30 antenna with a Yaesu G-5500. I have the IC-910
set to about 25 watts on UHF. I have made one contact on AO-73. It has
taken me forever to get the doppler correct as I usually cannot hear my
signal. Last night my returning signal was extremely strong for about
1 minute. In comparison, the received signal from FO-29 is extremely
strong so I am assuming that my UHF antenna is working fine. Like
Perry, I have never experienced this before. At times AO-73 takes some
very deep fades (telemetry). With such a small little cube, I would not
think the satellite is blocking the antenna (although 4 inches is
starting to get close to 435 wavelength. The frequency offset confused
me at first. I just kept cranking up the frequency and there I was but
very, very weak. I'm not gripping as I am having a blast. Those of you
with experience are probably getting a laugh at what I report. I am a
newbie to this satellite stuff and learning as I go and extremely
excited to make even one contact. Maybe the geese overhead are causing
me some problems. :-)

I thought there would be more users out there with all these new Baby

I was hoping to use this for working AO-7, VO-52, FO-29. Anyone with some
experience and a little detail would be much appreciated.

Hi Jerry,
I have uploaded manually the Funcube-1/AO73 keps in my
Nova satellite tracker software without any problem.
Copy and paste this 2 line keps into a text file:
Funcube-1
1 39417U 13066B 13328.52822701 .00004709 00000-0 65186-3 0 152
2 39417 97.7995 41.0710 0063010 185.6906 174.3718 14.77115537 473
I gave the file name the name funcube1.txt
Go to Nova for windows menu to ---> Kep Elements--->
Disk file update---->Manual update from file-----> Click on
the "Update" button.
Now you see a window appear and browse to the funcube1.txt
file.
If you can not find click in the same window all files.
If you have uploaded the keps from the file than go to
the Nova menu to ---> Views configure current view --->
Click on Artificial satellites ---> browse through the satellite -
list till you see Funcube-1 and drag it to the right window.
Click on the OK button and now you should see Funcube-1 on
the world map.
I have written this message verry basic so I hope others
with less experience understand it too.
Good luck with Funcube-1.

Give it a while, there are probably 10x the users now as there will be in 3
months. 25w will seem excessive by then.

436CP30 antenna with a Yaesu G-5500. I have the IC-910 set to about 25
watts on UHF. I have made one contact on AO-73. It has taken me forever to
get the doppler correct as I usually cannot hear my signal. Last night my
returning signal was extremely strong for about 1 minute. In comparison,
the received signal from FO-29 is extremely strong so I am assuming that my
UHF antenna is working fine. Like Perry, I have never experienced this
before. At times AO-73 takes some very deep fades (telemetry). With such a
small little cube, I would not think the satellite is blocking the antenna
(although 4 inches is starting to get close to 435 wavelength. The
frequency offset confused me at first. I just kept cranking up the
frequency and there I was but very, very weak. I'm not gripping as I am
having a blast. Those of you !
with experience are probably getting a laugh at what I report. I am a
newbie to this satellite stuff and learning as I go and extremely excited to
make even one contact. Maybe the geese overhead are causing me some
problems. :-)
