Message-ID: <53B7EF7E.3080902@xxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Good morning,
I noticed that after the last Dnepr launch, it's upper stage was raised
to an apogee of 1454 km, putting it in a 1454 km x 609 km orbit with a
97.9 degree inclination, in order to avoid collision with any of the 37
satellites it released.
Would it be possible for a future amateur satellite to be deployed AFTER
the Dnepr completes it's final burn to take advantage of that high
apogee? This would provide service similar to FO-29 with opportunities
for intercontinental communications every few months.

There are, however, no legally binding requirements regarding debris
mitigation.
In the case of amateur transponder satellites they can be assumed to have an
operation lifetime of 40+ years (think OSCAR-7), as I recall debris
mitigation suggests re-entry within 25 years of the end of mission. For
amateur transponder satellites this might imply 65 years in orbit.
But we can see plenty of examples of satellites currently being launched
that will still be in orbit thousands of years from now. Certain missions
require that satellites are placed in (or achieve through on-board
propulsion) near circular orbits in the 1200-2500 km range - it is accepted
that such missions could be up there for many tens of thousands of years.
The amateur service could certainly justify transponder satellites in in
near circular orbits at that altitude because that is what is required to
fulfill the communications mission.
In the case of the Dnepr Upper Stage it looks like it does have a satellite
attached to it although that was unintentional - BRITE-Montreal failed to
deploy.

Don't see why not. ESA education launched a set of cubesats on the first
Vega flight with a 1500 x 350km orbit.
However, as we would probably be the only people interested in that orbit,
there may be an issue with using all 3U of a typical deployer.
Another possibility is to encourage secondary passengers, with approved
deployers, to one of the MEO orbits 8000 / 20,000km - Now that would be fun.
Thanks

Obviously "beggars can't be choosers" and we are lucky that we have
been able to get several new satellites launched that are providing
and will provide amateur communications, regardless of the orbits.
However, look at the most popular satellites in use now: FO-29 and
AO-7. Both can provide intercontinental communication and up to 22
minute long passes. FO-29 is also popular because of the advantages of
Mode J, especially for portable operations. AO-7 is nearing it's 40th
birthday and can be quite quirky, especially during it's eclipse
cycles, which are getting longer and longer each year as it's orbit
precesses. FO-29 is 18 years old and, though I haven't checked this
out, will probably enter eclipse cycles of it's own in the next year
or so. When the eclipses get too long, the control stations are likely
going to have to turn the transponder off to save the batteries,
meaning we are probably going to lose use of FO-29 for several months;
and, it's always possible that it will fail completely.
As a matter of attracting hams to the amateur satellite service and
keeping them interested, the possibility of intercontinental
communication is important and hopefully launches to take satellites
up higher than 1,000 km can be found in the future, whether it's an
elliptical orbit like FO-29 or this Dnepr's upper stage, the common
high LEO circular orbits above 1,200 km (as these are not cubesat
launches, I'm guessing the costs are prohibitive), or to MEO/HEO (and
we know the difficulties there).

Lituanicasat-1 was on for the 1755utc pass over Ohio today. N1PCE
was the only station heard and worked. It's at 310km now so it won't
be up for much longer. Work it while you can.
The next pass starts for EN91 at 1928utc and goes through the middle
of the US. The footprint is not very big but if you are in it, you'll be
able to work it. It fades as it spins but the rate is fairly fast so you
can easily make qso's on it.
Make sure you have the latest keps as they are changing rapidly as the

Hi All,
Just an update to say that the Warehouse has recovered its senses and seems
to be operating normally.
Those who look at the data carefully will notice some erroneous numbers in
some of the min/max fields. These will be cleared when it does its next
weekly update ? for instance the battery did not actually reach 16
volts...at least we don't believe that it did!

There are certainly launchers going to MEO orbits, in a few days on July 10
a Soyuz-STB Fregat-MT is launching four satellites for Jersey (CI) based O3b

You need to enter the up- and downlink frequencies and mode into the
Doppler.SQF file, which you can edit by clicking the "?" on the menu bar,
and then "Auxiliary Files". Note that the satellite name in the doppler
file must exactly match the satellite name in the keps. You must also enter
the subtone info into the SubTone.SQF file. Again, the satellite name must
match. (You can just copy the data from the first entry for SO-50).
