Hi all.
I see SpaceX is launching flight 5 next week.
The main satellite is from Malaysia, but they are also launching 2
secondary payloads. - Anyone know what they are?
I recall there was a secondary payload from a US University using 70cms
that was bounced a while ago.
Thanks
David G0MRF
Preparations for Flight 5 of Falcon 1 are well underway at SpaceX. Flight 5
will loft an Earth observation satellite called RazakSAT into orbit for
the Government of Malaysia, plus two secondary payloads that will deploy
separately.
SpaceX's Falcon 1 launch site lies approximately 5,000 miles away from Los
Angeles, on Omelek Island, which is part of the United States Army
Kwajalein Atoll. Omelek is nearly 2,500 miles southwest of Hawaii, and just
9.1
degrees north latitude, making it a great location for launching rockets.
Currently, Flight 5 is scheduled for an April 21st launch which corresponds
with April 20th in the US.

I have one of my Kenwood D7A hand-held radios I would like to sell. I
have three of these and don't need but two. This one I received as a
gift and have not used it much at all. I have the manual,
antenna, two good battery packs, Kenwood wall charger, original box,
and a copy of the programming software on CD. I will sell this package
shipped to your door in lower 48 for $275.00. Shipping anywhere else I
will have to ask the buyer to pay. The first offer to buy gets it. I
will list it on Ebay Tuesday evening at 8:00 EDT if there is no
response.
Thanks and 73's de N4QWF John

Hi Graham:
F.Y.I.,
WIMAX is using the 5ghz band in Europe. Most antennas are outside and running
low power less than 4 watts erp. Wimax systems are usually installed in Dense
cites or densely populated residential areas.
I installed a 5 Ghz system in Marousi (Athens Greece) a few years ago. From 1
tower I was able to provide 2-mbit speeds at a distance of 10 kilometers and
cover the whole city with just 1 tower.
I used 6 (60-degree) antennas to get a full 360 pattern. I also placed each
antenna on a different channel (I used the whole band). The antennas installed
at the houses were similar, running less than 1-watt erp.
I was also able to get a Wimax LOS detectable signal to the Island of Agena
(45 km) from my Marousi tower, if I had another dish, I could have had a
useable signal all the way to the island.
Since these antennas are aimed horizontally and trees suck up 5 Ghz, their
useful range is usually limited 5-10 km from each tower. Anyone living near
one of these towers (usually in a city) will have issues with listening to
satellites.
A good directional satellite dish will block most of the offending signals.
Wimax frequencies 5.725-5.850 Ghz bands
Take care, Miles WF1F

Joe,
Maybe I'm just a little slow because I haven't had any caffeine on
this post holiday monday morning, but I don't seem to see your
scraping script linked to anywhere. If you shoot me a link or attach
the source I'll take a look. Predict.DB is a file that the predict
software uses to display some additional information about the
satellite you are tracking (its uplink/downlink/mode etc). There is a
sample one provided with predict if you grab the predict source.
Thanks,
Josh Smith

Hi David,
these secondary payloads are also from Malaysia for educational
purposes: InnoSAT and CubeSAT
CubeSAT was developed by ATSB, while the other, InnoSAT, was developed
by Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and
Universiti Malaysia Perlis, both of which were funded by the ministry.
