I arrived home yesterday and found a rather large package in my mailbox.
The return address was from the FITSAT-1 (Niwaka) Team.
Enclosed in the package was a document that reported on the two years
of research, development, and measurement activities carried out by the
FITSAT Project. Although it was in Japanese, the figures give a very
good idea of the scope of this project.
There were two missions for the satellite. The first was an experiment
on transmitting images taken by the satellite at the high-speed of 115.2
kbps using 5.84 GHz microwave communication for the first time.
The second was to create, for the first time, an "artificial star" using
LEDs mounted on the outside of the satellite.
Both of these missions were successful! I was fortunate to receive the
5.84 GHz downlink here in Vermont using my modified 5.76 GHz terrestrial
microwave system.
I have to say this was one of the most exciting times for me and ranks
up there with the first successful AO-40 QSO I had using the 24 GHz
downlink and the first time I successfully sent a command to AO-7! (I
changed the beacon code speed)
Congratulations to the FITSAT-1 team on a wonderful satellite and hope
for more in the future!

Thank you Mike,
We have more 20 copies of the document.
Though it is written in Japanese, we can send you on request.
If you want the document, let me know your postal address.
Best 73, Takushi

Subject: [amsat-bb] APRS packet using Kenwood TS2000 and UISS software

Hello all,
I am Ground Station Team member of COEP's student satellite mission
'Swayam'(www.coep.org.in/csat).Our Ground Station is functional with uplink
and downlink capabilities and is equipped with Kenwood TS2000(having a
built-in TNC) transceiver and Yeasu G5500 rotor system.
With the vhf and uhf antenna available with us we have successfully
received analog beacons from many satellites. To prove our digital
capabilities we are focusing on having APRS contact with ISS. We use UISS
software by ON6MU along with AGW Packet Engine to connect PC with TS2000.
Using the software we successfully transmit packet on air as transmitted
packets are clearly heard on hand held Yeasu VX-3R transceiver which is
unable to decode any packet.
Even though we try to digipeat and data is transmitted, we are not able to
receive data on the software screen. whenever we have a pass of ISS some
signals are detected and a receiving led glows even in squelch on. But the
received signals doesn't sound like packet.
Please help us in improvising our ground station for digital communication.
Regards,
Rupesh VU2COE

Hi all!
Could I build a microwave receiver for satellite using a yig, mixer, the
appropriate Local oscillator and an SDR dongle for receive of some kind? I
do have an IF filter and so forth.

WD8ARZ Bill will be Geiger Mobile on the road from TN to Indiana
tomorrow morning unless weather is an issue. Will be running Geiger
Graph Program version 5 dated 01/13/05 on Samsung i7 Windows7 Laptop.
Internet will feed the Inspector Alert Counts Per Minute (CPM) to the
Mineralab Radiation Map.http://www.radiationnetwork.com/ Leaving from
East of Nashville, TN headed for South Bend, Indiana. Using GPS my
Geiger station icon will move North as I drive and is trackable on the map.
Will also be active on HF frequencies such as 7225 LSB and 14346 USB for
voice chats. APRS will be Vhf transmitted using the callsign / ssid of
WD8ARZ-9.
Voice schedules are welcome.
