[amsat-bb] question about recive beacon signals with icom 910 h
I have question about ICOM- IC 910 H. 1. I want to receive beacon signals of some amsat satellites. Could you please tell me from which satellites I can receive beacon signal? (So-50, so-67, ao-27, ao-16, ao-51, prism. Kks, and etc) All the equipments are prepared. There is also unitrac with icom radio and YAESU rotator (but I don’t have tnc). 2. In the main configuration of unitrac there are uplink downlink and beacon ferequency tabs those we shoud fill with the information of satellite ferequency but I don’t know what to do in icom for reciving beacon or telemetry of satellites. Thanks for your help and attention. Best Regards. ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: Historic NASA Audio
Hi all, The actual lawsuit was thrown out by the Supreme Court over "the lack of jurisdiction." It appears that since the spaceship, and it's occupants were government property, they exceeded the territorial limits of the jurisdiction of the US and what they crew members said and did were beyond control of the US and the constitution. Technically, they could've read the "Seven Dirty Words" and the most that could happen to them would be expelled from the space proram. Yet, the only illegal activity that could've taken place onboard the spaceship that would hold up in a military or civil court was a mutiny, basically pirating from within. It appears that the word "Ship" is covered no matter where it is located. So a spaceship 200,000 miles from earth can not be mutinied wthout punishment, yet you can swear until you turn blue without repurcussion. 73, Jeff WB3JFS - Original Message - From: "Rick Tejera" To: "Clint Bradford" Cc: "AMSAT BB" ; "ARISS-ops OPS" Sent: Friday, December 24, 2010 4:16 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Historic NASA Audio > That broadcast generated a bit of controversy as well.

December 26, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-360.01 Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, who served as AMSAT's VP of Human Spaceflight for many years, took time to reflect on the 10th anniversary of the very first Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contacts. My heartiest of congratulations to all the ARISS volunteers and their international sponsoring organizations on this, the 10th anniversary of the first Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) school group contact. It is breathtaking to see all that you have done this past decade. Ham radio operations on ISS started with the first Moscow/USA checkout contact on November 13, 2000just 11 days after Expedition 1 took up residence on ISS. That paved the way for the historic first school contact between the students at the Burbank School in Burbank, Illinois and Bill Shepherd, KD5GSL on December 21, 2000. Long-time ARISS volunteer Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, mentored that first contact preparing the Burbank students, teachers and community for an activity that they will remember for the rest of their lives. Since then, the ARISS teams volunteer spirit and can-do attitude have kept the ARISS stations on ISS operational the entire decade--through all 26 crew expeditions. Over 560 schools or organizations have performed ARISS contacts -- inspiring tens of thousands of students and enabling millions and millions, worldwide, to experience the human spaceflight journey and to share in the excitement and camaraderie of the ham radio hobby. The international team has installed antennas and equipment in several ISS modules, deployed SuitSat, delivered ARISSat, and a school contact was a prominent star in the IMAX ISS 3D movie. Most importantly, you have inspired a legion of students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. On my desk is a copy of NASAs Reference Guide to the ISS. I recently noticed that on the back cover is a beautiful photograph of ISS with the Sun shining prominently on one of the ARISS antennas mounted on the Russian Service Module. That photograph reminds me of a story from the U.S. Constitutional Convention when statesmen Benjamin Franklin, looking towards the president's chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising sun from a setting sun. Franklin said "I have often looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting: But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun." Indeed .the sun that shines over ARISS is a rising sun. Congratulations to the ARISS international team and their sponsoring organizations!! [ANS thanks Frank, KA3HDO, for the above information] /EX SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-360.02 SA AMSAT Announces Two Cubesat Projects AMSAT News Service Bulletin 360.02 From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD. December 26, 2010 To All RADIO AMATEURS BID: $ANS-360.02 This week SA AMSAT announced on their web page they plan to launch two satellite projects, both CubeSats but with totally different design approaches and time lines. The first project will focus on providing a FM transponder that will be available on most passes over South Africa and will have a short time line to launch. The second project, called SAiSAT focuses on an innovative approach to the deployment of fold-out solar panels. The project is aimed at getting Master and Phd students involved in the development and de- sign of various payloads and substructures. A detailed paper on SAiSAT will be released in the next two weeks on http://www.amsatsa.org.za The FM Transponder CubeSat which has yet to be named will be based on a standard available space frame and sub system with a locally designed payload. The project will be coordinated by Hannes Coetzee, ZS6BPZ. SA AMSAT is inviting radio amateurs who have an interest in satellites to join the project team. The team will meet for its first meeting on mid-January via a teleconference. To participat
