Get this to every teacher you know! After entering your
name, you can print out a "participation certificate."
NASA Invites Public to Send Names on an Asteroid Mission and Beyond
NASA is inviting people around the world to submit their names to be etched
on a microchip aboard a spacecraft headed to the asteroid Bennu in 2016.
The "Messages to Bennu!" microchip will travel to the asteroid aboard the
agency's Origins-Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security
Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft. The robotic mission will spend
more than two years at the 1,760-foot (500-meter)-wide asteroid. The
spacecraft will collect a sample of Bennu's surface and return it to Earth
in a sample return capsule.
"We're thrilled to be able to share the OSIRIS-REx adventure with people
across the Earth, to Bennu and back," said Dante Lauretta, principal
investigator of the OSIRIS-REx mission from the University of Arizona in
Tucson. "It's a great opportunity for people to get engaged with the mission
early and join us as we prepare for launch."
Those wishing to participate in "Messages to Bennu!" should submit their
name online no later than Sept. 30 at:
http://planetary.org/bennu
After a person submits their name, they will be able to download and print a
certificate documenting their participation in the OSIRIS-REx mission.
"You'll be part of humankind's exploration of the solar system --How cool is
that?" said Bill Nye, chief executive officer of The Planetary Society, the
organization collecting and processing the entries.
Participants who "follow" or "like" the mission on Facebook will receive
updates on the location of their name in space from launch time until the
asteroid samples return to Earth in 2023. Facebook fans also will be kept
apprised of mission progress and late-breaking news through regular status
updates.
The OSIRIS-REx mission goal is to address basic questions about the
composition of the very early solar system, the source of organic materials
and water that made life possible on Earth, and to better predict the orbits
of asteroids that represent collision threats to the Earth. It will collect
a minimum of 2 ounces (60 grams) of surface material.
Once the sample return capsule deploys, the spacecraft will be placed into a
long-term solar orbit around the sun, along with the microchip and every
name on it.
"It is exciting to consider the possibility that some of the people who
register to send their names to Bennu could one day be a part of the team
that analyzes the samples from the asteroid 10 years from now," said Jason
Dworkin, mission project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center,
Greenbelt, Md.
This mission will assist the agency in its efforts to identify the
population of potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, as well as those
suitable for asteroid exploration missions. The asteroid initiative brings
together the best of NASA's science, technology and human exploration
efforts to achieve President Obama's goal of sending humans to an asteroid
by 2025.
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., will provide overall
mission management, systems engineering, and safety and mission assurance
for OSIRIS-REx. Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver will build the
spacecraft. OSIRIS-REx is the third mission in NASA's New Frontiers Program.
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages New
Frontiers for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

Hi All
D STAR AMSAT users net tonight on REF 60 B at 0200 utc.
How many satellite ops are close to getting the GOT GRIDS? award. #1 is
still open. I think we need some one to go to the DL grid

I've had numerous emails inquiring about the equipment I am using
while I'm on my current trip, operating grids as work schedule allows.
Receiver: Yaesu FT-817
Transmitter: Yaesu FT-857D
Antenna: Elk LPDA
Headset: Heil Traveler
Diplexer: Comet Triplexer CFX-324A
I utilize the two VFO's on each radios as follows:
VFO A's are setup for mode J
VFO B's are setup for mode B
As I change between satellites I need to reverse which radio gets the
UHF/VHF feed from the triplexer and then change VFO on the radio.
The biggest change I need to make is when I go to AO-7 I need to turn
the MHz knob to bring me down into 432 from 435.
I'm utilizing the Comet triplexer because this one works well with
little or no desense and had the right lengths of coax I needed. I
have and use several diplexers from Diamond and Jetstream.

This is very similar to my portable setup, except I use an Arrow, no
diplexer, and swap cables at the antenna to go from J to B. Oh, and my
headset is a Heil Proset. I found I get some feedback with the Traveler at
my typical volume levels.
Hope you are having fun.
