Hi Folks,
FUNCube-1/AO-73 is due to enter continuous sunlight in a few days time and
the operations team have decided to set the satellite to full time education
mode (full power beacon with NO transponder, no eclipse auto switching).
One of the effects of this is that the temperature of the satellite will
increase.
This will allow us to follow the effects of continuous sunlight more easily,
and also in theory should keep the satellite cooler (more energy radiated
from the structure as RF)
We predict that the satellite will start experiencing eclipses again on
approximately 7 May 2020.
We may put the satellite back into transponder mode while it is in
continuous sunlight, and if we plan to do this we will make an announcement
here

I want to buy a G5500 rotator, but I learned that only the DC motor
version is now produced.
Older versions of the G5500 have AC motors.
Does anyone have experience with the new G5500 with DC? I am afraid of
possible interference with reception, especially weak satellite signals.
I have experience with the AC version that is fine.
Yaesu says that interference from the G5500 with DC is suppressed, but
the best is its own experience.
Thanks for all the information.

Greetings, All.
An announcement was made in the AMSAT News Service Weekly Bulletin 186
(July 6, 2019) that the Board of Directors elected Frank Karnauskas,
N1UW as Vice President - Development. That would be me.
In the roughly thirty days I have had this position I have drafted a
comprehensive development plan that include grant writing, marketing
and public relations. The draft is undergoing review and updates as I
go through the process of interviewing Board members and senior
officers to ascertain that the plan meets the strategic and tactical
goals of the organization. The plan includes the basis for a Youth
Initiative that I believe will be critically important in our fund
raising efforts. We are surveying likely U.S. government agencies as
well as private philanthropic foundations that are likely sources of
grant money.
I expect that the initial plan will be ready to share with AMSAT
membership for comments and suggestions. Until then, keep the faith.
Cheers,
Frank

Well, Ill take a crack at it.
1) Find individuals that can find launch partnering opportunities.
2) Find individuals that can find money
Nothing happens in any volunteer organization by organizing and making
lists of things for other people to do. The only way that progress is
made
in volunteer organizations is by getting behind those individuals who
are
in the right place at the right time and with the energy and interest
to
take something on. Then support them.
Volunteers are motivated when they have somethign of value and can
contribute actual progress and then are given support by others to
follow
that lead. Very little gets accomplished by wasted energy trying to
push
others into action. The action in a hobby comes from within,
unfortunately... Generally speaking that is. There are exceptions.
But
start with #1 and #2, and the rest will follow.
> > Even a private note to say, "yes, I think we'll be looking into

would be nice.
The more practical note with a better chance of getting done would say
"yes, I think that would be a great thing for you to look into" would
be
more practical...
The point being, if you have an idea, then do it. I have found in
Ham
radio that just tossing up and idea for others to do never goes
anywhere.
Better to think of ways to move forward and do it one's self then see
if
anyone follows.

I'd say the plan is wide open to anyone that can move forward with an
idea
and bring home the bacon...

On an unrelated note, lunar "residents" were gathering pieces of debris as

Hi Erich,
First of all, thank you for developing such a great program.? Secondly,
thank you for personally responding to my query.? Sorry my reply is a bit
delayed, but work took priority (I guess I have the wrong priorities).
I chose AlphaSpid and stored that, exited the program through File/Quit. I
restarted and that didn't work.? ?I then used the Search button located in
the Rotor Setup menu.? It came up with 2 files under the Spid directory:?
ROTSERVPOS.SQF and SPIDPARAM.SQF.? I selected the first one, stored, exited
and upon restart, I received the message that it could not find file
ROTSERVPOS.EXE.? I then selected the second one, and upon restart I received
a message that it could not find SPIDPARAM.EXE.? I did a search of my PC?
and could not find either of these files anywhere.? Should they have been
installed during the setup?? Should I do a reinstall of the program?
Any suggestions from you or anyone else on the great forum would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich 4Z1JJ

Ahh geez, here goes someone making sense again! Don't you hate it when

Michael, W4HIJ
It dawned on me that the present culture at AMSAT (and elsewhere) may not
support a transparent "resources of the crowd" collaborative approach. (Duh,
right? Lol).
Here's an entirely different pathway to success:
With the goal of getting the AMSAT-DL Phase 3E bird into orbit (as an
example), publish the required money and start actively fund raising.
To be clear, the required money can't be "millions of dollars" it has to be
unambiguous; like $9,242,200.
Then, hire a grant writer and a fund-raising organization with the existing
AMSAT budget (a small amount of money leverages much more money).
If the present AMSAT budget is not sufficient, then determine how much money
it will take to hire them and fund-raise for that from friends and family
(AMSAT members and enthusiastic non-members).
Post a fund raising "thermometer" on AMSAT.org and the world can watch the
success grow before their eyes!
Ev, W2EV
PS: maybe a hybrid approach?? I'd bet that there's someone on this list
who's 6-degrees of separation can get to Bezos or Musk to help to reduce
even that budget.
PPS: I have an idea that could provide incentive to either of these guys, if
they could be reached...but "what are the chances, really"?

food?
8. How many personal items are astronauts allowed to take into space?
9. How would you describe the space in one word?
10. Please tell me about the differences in temperature between sun lit
and shaded areas outside of the space station?
11. What would you do if you encountered aliens?
12. Where would you prefer to live, in space or on the earth, if you
were to live in one place for your entire life?
13. What is the best thing about being an astronaut?
14. When you see the earth from space, is there any difference between
day and night?
15. Do you believe in aliens?
16. What is the thing you want to do the most after you get back to the
earth?
17. What made you want to be an astronaut?

About ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
