Hi All,
Just getting into this aspect of GEO satellite security...
I found this very informative, though old article about satellite pirates
and their hacking techniques in the old days of satellite TV (ca. 1993)

Since any new ham GEO satellite might be an emolation of these earlier TV
satellites, it is imperative that some sort of security for the system might
be prudent.

 Michael's reply (recopied at the bottom) amplified something interesting in
my mind.

One receives peer-support by introducing attainable hope and both
envisioning and producing something tangible that can be built upon.

In our case, "something tangible" can be as easy as re-reading the news
found at https://www.amsat.org/project-status-overview/ ... scroll to the
bottom where Phase 3E is mentioned.

To build on "something tangible", someone at AMSAT could post the project
plan of the steps needed to get that thing in the air.? Include "got it",
"working on it already" and "need it" tags (along with contact information
for each item).

Let us help to fill-in the holes.? Those with skills, contacts and resources
exist beyond those who are presently AMSAT members and those who you will
"see at the October conference".

Enthusiastically yours,
Ev, W2EV

PS: If we succumb to the "non-disclosure / secrecy" approach, we are
doomed.? Be brave.? Be profound.? The same approach that got things stagnant
can't be used to get things accomplished.

Ev,

Please read the post on the subject of Phase 3E on this BB.  The issue was
money.  To insure a timely integration with the primary load - we would
have been a ride share - the primary load was insisting on that a
commercial contractor be brought on board at the cost of several million
dollars.  The issue was not skills or parts or design, then issue was plain
and simple - more money than we could reasonably expect to raise.

Just as an FYI AMSAT for a number of reasons has to comply with
Nondisclosure Agreements (NDA's) from the various agencies and commercial
launch vendors with whom they work.   Trust me, if it okay for us to know
in munchkin land we will know it.

As was also pointed out elsewhere we are bucking an industry trend
right now.  We want to go higher while industry wants to go LEO with
clouds, literally thousands of Cubesats.  And that makes HEO rideshares
hard to find at a cost the amateur radio community it willing and able to
pay.

Don Quixote had his cause and it was noble.  He also had his best friend
Sancho who had the unenviable task of trying to pull Don Quixote back into
reality.  Remember it is a hobby, assume positive intent on the part of the
AMSAT BoD and the other amateur radio operator on this BBS.  And let's not
let the perfect become the enemy of the good enough.

73,

Johnny

 Hi Sancho...er...John. Lol.? Yeah, I get it.
My point is that the same pathways to success in years-gone-by aren't the
only pathways today.? Said differently, just as there are new
barriers/challenges today ... there are also new ways to get to space.

For example..."what if" through "Bacon's Law" a non-AMSAT ham knows how to
reach Jeff Bezos and convince Blue Origin to supply transport...maybe by
trading off something that he personally believes in or values?
The point is...tell us that we need to supply transport and a contact person
for that work-step, then let "Bacon's Law" kick in.

All I'm asking for is to publish the work breakdown structure and tag each
item with "got it", "working on it" and "need it".
My other point is, "Are we brave enough to be transparent and allow the
resources-of-the-crowd to participate in our success?"? If not...then all
AMSAT needs is money (and we're back to where we all started).

Cheers,Ev, W2EV

The article you linked to was quite lengthy so I skimmed over it. From what
I can tell it?s all about receiving pay television programming. Cant figure
out how this applies to an amateur radio satellite.

Hi Rick,

So far I've only used MM-SSTV to receive with the IC-9700 using the USB
audio.   I haven't figured out how to get TX working yet?  I'd love to hear
from anyone that's got it working on TX as well!  73

Yep, that is what I meant.
Interesting article, though.
More relevant than my original link.
Security and self-policing will keep things legal.

I'm curious how we are supposed to "secure" an amateur radio satellite?
 From what I understand, the only encryption allowed is for command station
signals.   Self-policing is obviously "used" today, although I think
"public shaming" is a better description.  :)
