Great camera footage from last month's Shuttle launch. One camera is mounted on 
an Solid Rocket Booster. At 2:28, it separates ... and you watch it splash back 
into the ocean.

The next camera was mounted watching one leading edge of the Shuttle's wing.

Grab a cup of coffee ...

Arrow 146-4S solid element antenna with "N" connector.

New, in the shipping bag. I ordered before I found another set of antennas. 
There is about a month backlog to get antennas from Arrow, busy place. These 
sell for $60 plus shipping and handling of $15. I will sell for $60 shipped to

[amsat-bb] Re: AMSAT Fox News

2011-03-03 Thread Trevor .
Hi Tony, 

That's great news. 

Are you able to say what the power budget overhead is in having an SDX 
transponder? The most efficient SDX I'd heard of still consumed some 310mw more 
than an analog linear transponder which for a conventional 1U CubeSat is 310mw 
too many. 

SDX on a CubeSat with deployable solar panels paves the way to using far higher 
speed telemetry downlinks than we currently achieve in a 20kHz B/W.

2011-03-03 Thread Mike1234
To add to the thread I have a friend who has a semi repair shop. He has run
PVC through out the shop for compressed air. He puts 150 psi through the PVC
for air tools. I have played with PVC for a 2mtr mast. It worked pretty
well. I want to use it in smaller sections for my satellite antennas which I
don't to put up very high until I learn about the whole operation then I
will place it on a roof with better material. I have the Yaesu 5500 rotor
and that thing to me is heavy to lug around. Once it is on a roof with
better materials it stays there until something breaks. I hope this helps.

[amsat-bb] Re: RADAR QRM on FO-29 video on YouTube

2011-03-03 Thread Jim Wright
One would be surprised how far those buzzards can be heard.  When I was 
still working for what is now Verizon, we tried for six months to turn 
up a 10 GHz microwave route from downtown Hampton, Virginia to the 
Easter Shore, a 27 KM shot using 10 foot dishes on 300 foot towers.  
There were these repetitive error bursts at random times both day and 
night.  We finally got it up to phone traffic right after the local 
paper said Langley AFB had been conducting exercises out over the ocean.

Surprise, but our dish was aimed almost due east and had all the 
problems.  The same setup looking west did not have a bit of trouble.  
We could have solved the problem with a few heat seeking missiles good 
to about 300 miles down range, but no govt. agency would admit to being 
within the path or range of our hop

Right across the river is Norfolk Naval Base.  Those 19 year old radar 
operators would never bring up their equipment in port before departing 
the next day, would they?  Surprisingly how quick they shut down after 
we called the Navy harbor master.

[amsat-bb] KYSAT-1 TLE errors ?

2011-03-03 Thread PA3GUO
Dave,

Using Ryans LXS I see that (like so often) the TLEs do not have a correct 
checksum:
Ryans XLS says it should be 

1 9U 0 11063.43259919 0. 0-0 0-0 0 
2 9 97.9564 8.4412 0007658 67.0214 113.6793 14.7726555105

And not as on their website:
1 9U 0 11063.43259919 0. 0-0 0-0 0 
2 9 97.9564 8.4412 0007658 67.0214 113.6793 14.7726555100

Half of my SW here ignores the checksum, other half simply does not show the 
satellite.
This is why I also had to correct the TLEs.

Ps: feel free to double-check, I am not a TLE expert

Henk, PA3GUO


I just tried using the TLEs off of the KySat-1 page, but couldn't get them
to work, nothing showed up.

Hank (and the -bb)

Attached is the spreadsheet previously mentioned spreadsheet to fix TLEs 
checksums. I've rewritten it since what I was using was still a tedious 
operation and I didn't want to distribute that to the community. This should be 
much better, though you still need to remove any leading spaces in the lines.

It appears that O/OREOS' TLEs on their website are OK now, possibly because 
SpaceTrack is publishing now. My apologies for not getting this out sooner; 
we'll have to wait for the next launch to try this out.

During the fog-of-war in the days after launch, I find there are often multiple 
TLEs for the same satellite. In this case I like to change the IDs so I can 
have them all loaded in GPredict simultaneously. This spreadsheet will verify 
that the IDs are the same for both lines, and of course regenerate the 
checksums.

This spreadsheet was created with OpenOffice 3.2.1, and I've exported it to 
Excel and checked it with MS Office XP and appears to work fine. 
Please let me know if there are any problems.

Happy holidays and 73,
Ryan KB1LKI

[amsat-bb] MIR - Ten years since splashdown

2011-03-03 Thread GW1FKY
Hi all,
With all of the recent exchanges about satellite birthdays, history  etc.  
It prompted me to take a look back
over some my notes and activities.
I came across the final days of the MIR spacecraft and realised that this  
month ( MARCH )  marks 10 years
since the craft was de-orbited and crashed in the south Pacific.
On the 23rd March 2001 at approx. 0600 hrs UTC the spacecraft was reported  
to have made the impact
so this month marks the date 10 years on from the end of  another past era 
in space.
Cheers

2011-03-03 Thread Clint Bradford
>> ... If you want to get technical, Gagarin did actually do an EVA of sorts. 

Thanks, Rick, for trying to bail me out ... But it was a mistake/typo on my 
part ... (grin)

Yes, after his 108-minute flight, Gagarin ejecting from the spacecraft at 7,000 
metres 
(23,000 ft), and landing by parachute. 

Under International Federation of Aeronautics (FAI) 
qualifying rules for aeronautical records, pilots must both take off and land 
with 
their craft, so the Soviets kept the landing procedures secret until 1978, when 
they finally admitted that Gagarin did not land with his spacecraft.

When the flight was publicly announced, after it was successfully completed, it 
was 
celebrated around the world as a great triumph, not just for the Soviet Union, 
but 
for the world itself, though it once again shocked and embarrassed the United 
States.

Three weeks later, on 5 May 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in 
space, 
when he was launched on the Mercury-Redstone 3 suborbital mission, in a 
spacecraft 
named Freedom 7. Though he did not achieve orbit, unlike Gagarin he was the 
first 
person to exercise manual control over his spacecraft's attitude and 
retro-rocket firing.

The first Soviet cosmonaut to exercise manual control was Gherman Titov in 
Vostok 2 
on 6 August 1961.

Almost a year after the Soviets put a human into orbit, astronaut John Glenn 
became 
the first American to orbit the Earth, on 20 February 1962. His Mercury-Atlas 6 
mission 
completed three orbits in the Friendship 7 spacecraft, and splashed-down safely 
in the 
Atlantic Ocean, after a tense reentry, due to what falsely appeared from the 
telemetry 
data to be a loose heat-shield.

2011-03-03 Thread saguaroastro
If you want to get technical, Gagarin did actually do an EVA of sorts. The 
Russians were not sure he'd survive the landing so at 50,000 feet they had him 
bail out of the ship and parachute down. They kept this secret for quite some 
time as they were afraid that we'd claim some kind of foul and use that to 
claim Sheppard was the first true space traveler. I think this became public 
knowledge sometime in the '80's after the fall of the USSR.

So, like I said, "technically" you could call it an EVA, since he left his ship 
while it was airborne.
