[amsat-bb] Please help us Track the FASTRAC satellites once they are launched Nov. 19th!!

2010-11-15 Thread Sebastian Muñoz
Dear members of the University Nanosat, Cubesat, and Amateur Radio
communities,

As many of you may know, the FASTRAC satellites built by students at
UT-Austin will be launched as part of the STP-S26 mission this upcoming
Friday Nov 19th (around 4:30 pm AST) from Kodiak, Alaska on board a Minotaur
IV rocket.  The satellites will be placed into a 650 km altitude, 72 degree
inclination circular orbit.  For those that don't know, the FASTRAC
satellites are the winners of the University Nanosat-3 Competiton and their
primary mission is to demonstrate enabling technologies for small
satellites.

The satellites have been designed the satellites so that amateur radio
operators can track them all over the world and to do so the team has built
a section on our website (
http://fastrac.ae.utexas.edu/for_radio_operators/overview.php) that allows
any amateur radio operator to upload data they receive from the satellites.
This serves two purposes which are that the website will parse and
graphically interpret the data received and also allows the team to collect
data from all over the world.

With this in mind we would like to invite you to track our satellites and
register on our website.  All of the information to track the satellites is
available on the above website where we will be posting the most up to date
TLEs as they become available as well as any other pertinent information.
Also, we will be posting updates as the launch approaches on our website,
our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fastracsats) and our Twitter page (
www.twitter.com/fastracsats) so make sure to chek them out.

Thank you for your help. 73,

Glenn Lightsey (KE5DDG) and Sebastián Muñoz (KE5FKV)
FASTRAC Principal Investigator and FASTRAC Student Program Manager

I see at the League web site that John passed away.  He was an AMSAT VP in
the early 1980s.

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 and FOX social media fundraising

2010-11-15 Thread Andrew Glasbrenner
Hi Everyone,

I've set up a fundraiser on Facebook using Fundrazr and PayPal. If you 
have a Facebook or Twitter account, please visit http://bit.ly/c861N7 
and use the share button to post to your own account. The $2000 dollar 
limit is far below what we need to raise, but is the max allowed by the 
program. I'm hoping I can create new ones as we exceed that amount.

I hope to soon have a PayPal donation widget that you can include on 
your own webpages, or anything html. When I get that working I'll post 
back here. The idea is to solicit support from those outside the normal 
AMSAT membership and circles.

Thanks for the support, and please help us pay for the costs incurred 
during ARISSat-1 construction, and get us off to a good start as we 
begin working on FOX!

73, Drew KO4MA
