[amsat-bb] 30th Anniversary of GB1MIR operation

[Trevor .]

Helen Sharman GB1MIR became the United Kingdom's first astronaut when she 
blasted off from Baikonur in Kazakhstan at 1250 GMT on May 18, 1991 on her way 
to the MIR space station from where she operated GB1MIR. A video of her space 
flight can be seen at

[Mani VU2WMY]

Hello Trevor,
Congratulations to Helen Sharman GB1MIR and to all those who made 'Ham  
Radio' operational from MIR space station. This is certainly a great  
achievement. On this 20th Anniversary (I suppose), we express our  
sincere thanks with gratitude to everyone from the Russian, American  
and European Space Agencies and various Amateur Radio societies around  
the World. All that what 'Ham radio' from space is today is due to the  
uncompromising and relentless pains, efforts and determination put in  
by these people.

[amsat-bb] What is the status of AO-51 again?

[Alexander Sack]

Hello:

I read the status page and the news page and it has me a bit confused.
 At some point the AO-51 was working for me (as of last week).  But
the last three passes I have heard nothing.

Is the DL still 435.150Mhz?

I just want to confirm either a)  I am looking at the wrong status
page or b) AO-51 is down for now.

Hello Alexander,

Please check the AO-51 page and you'll see why you sometimes find it
will be active, and other times it will be off.

I do (did), but that page is not very helpful regarding an individual pass?

"The uplink is 145.880, and the downlink is 435.150. We are working on
trying to automate this."

So I am on 435.150 but the last couple of passes have been silent over
FN20.  Can others confirm?

Well, for pass by pass reports, we have always recommended this:

http://oscar.dcarr.org/

The information at that site is only as good as we the users make it.
You can help by reporting whether you heard it or not.

These days, AO-51 is likely to be OFF far more than it will be ON.

This is the important part:

"At this time the command team is turning the repeater on and off during some 
US passes, mainly in the afternoon, and only as available. The repeater is open 
to all when this happens."

It's only going to be on when a command station is around and available to do 
it, until we get the process automated. I haven't had the chance to turn it on 
since Sunday afternoon.

I understand.  I am not trying to be a pain or ungrateful.  I realize
AO-51 is having some troubles (based on your last status updates) but
the above statements are still unclear when I should or shouldn't go
out to listen to a pass.  That's all I was saying.

I want you and the team to do what is necessary obviously to get the
most out of the AO-51 project.  I just felt miserable after standing
in the rain twice and hearing nothing!

The typical small satellite projects I have seen in DoD typically cost about
$5 to $10 million or more.  Then for DoD, the launch is free (its gets paid
for out of a different pot)..

Wow!  Alright, outside DoD and commercial, what does an AMSAT project
typically cost?  I had always thought it was less than a million
dollars.

[amsat-bb] AO51 Tracking Gadget

[Zachary Beougher]

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how/where I can get the code for the AO51, AO27, ISS, 
SO50, etc., Google tracking gadgets powered by N2YO?  See AO27’s gadget 
here: 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=7&retURL=/satellites/status.php
 
(halfway down)  I see these things on a couple different sites, so there 
must be an easier way to get it on my page without creating an entire new 
gadget.

BTW, for those of you that will be commuting to Dayton, you can board the 
ark in Cincinnati. ;-)  It does look like the rain is going to hold off for 
most of the weekend:

Friday, 20th:  Partly Sunny, 74F
Saturday, 21st:  Partly Sunny, 76F
Sunday, 22nd:   Mostly Sunny w/ a 30% chance of storms.  80F

AO-51 cost in the neighborhood of 400,000 dollars to build and launch.

Our current project, Fox, is designed as a replacement for the V/U repeater on 
AO-51, and as a multi-function RF system for other cubesats. The idea is to 
provide better quality RF systems for university cubes, and maybe after their 
mission they can retask their satellite to two-way amateur service, either as a 
repeater, transponder, or digital. There is a fundraiser widget on the front 
page of amsat.org for Fox, and in several other places around the web and on 
other websites. You can even add it to your own webpage.

Fox is a 1U cubesat, about 1kg in mass. We expect launch costs alone to be from 
30,000 to 70,000 dollars. Compare that to the number on the fundraising widget, 
and you can see how far we have to go. There are many donations that have been 
made outside of the widget, but the gap is still large.

The Dayton ARA has been kind enough to offer a matching donation to AMSAT, 3:1 
up to 5,000 dollars. So, whether you are headed to Dayton this week or not, 
your donation to AMSAT will be 33% matched automatically. Drop a few dollars 
through the widget next time you cruise by the AMSAT website, and help us make 
Fox a reality. Join AMSAT if you haven't already. Too few of the everyday users 
of our satellites are AMSAT members. Membership helps support AMSAT and our 
goals to keep amateur radio in space, and if you are a regular user of 
satellites like AO-51, you should really support the organization with your 
membership dollars.

Labour and components for Sunsat (SO-35) cost around 11 million 
South African rand (or 2 million USD at the time).  The launch was 
sponsored by NASA in exchange for payloads that were flown.

For Sumbandila (SO-67) it was 12 million ZAR (1.7 million USD).  The 
launch was financed by our Department of Science and Technology.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question.  I've used the individual N2YO 
pages to check the satellites that I'm interested in with the amateur birds 
listed at:

http://n2yo.com/satellites/?c=18

Clicking on an individual link brings up a page giving the details.  That page 
also has a link which leads to another one which shows the real-time tracking.  
It helps to know what the official name or NORAD ID is to get the right link.

I've put the links to the satellites I track in my bookmark file.

My guess would be that he is passing the DDE satellite position output from

[amsat-bb] Re: AO51 Tracking Gadget

[Jeff Moore]

You go to the Amsat page you referenced, do a View Page Source from your 
browser.  Copy the link for the gadget and change the satid line to the 
correct Norad ID for the satellite you want the gadget to track.  Embed the 
new edited link in your web page and you're good to go!

You should probably also go to Google and the N2YO web-sites and make sure 
you have permission to use their gadget.  Don't want to violate any 
copyrights!

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how/where I can get the code for the AO51, AO27, ISS,
SO50, etc., Google tracking gadgets powered by N2YO?  See AO27’s gadget
here:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=7&retURL=/satellites/status.php
(halfway down)  I see these things on a couple different sites, so there
must be an easier way to get it on my page without creating an entire new
gadget.

BTW, for those of you that will be commuting to Dayton, you can board the
ark in Cincinnati. ;-)  It does look like the rain is going to hold off for
most of the weekend:

Friday, 20th:  Partly Sunny, 74F
Saturday, 21st:  Partly Sunny, 76F
Sunday, 22nd:   Mostly Sunny w/ a 30% chance of storms.  80F

73,

[amsat-bb] Re: AO51 Tracking Gadget

[Zachary Beougher]

I read through their terms of use and I can't find anything that says I 
can't do that.  If I was going to alter it in some fashion I would guess 
that I probably shouldn't be doing this, but if I am just using it for its 
intended purpose I don't see an issue with it.

Thanks for the responses!

73,

Thank you so very much to the So-67 team!  This will come in handy for the 
demonstration area at the big Hamvention :)

[amsat-bb] FS: M2 149T-CP14 Circular Polarized Antenna

[David Palmer KB5WIA]

Hi Everyone,

I was contacted by a local ham recently who'd like to find a good home
for a sat antenna currently located at their emergency comms site.
The antenna appears to be a M-Squared 149T-CP14 circular polarized
antenna.  It has the following measured specs:  Boom 118” (9’ 10”),
Driven elements (2): about 37.5”, Reflectors (2): about 39”, Other
Elements – range about 35 to 34”.  The spec sheet for this antenna
indicates it has 10.3 dBi gain and a frequency range of 148-150 MHz
(yes, this is outside the 2m ham band).

http://m2inc.com/products/commercial/136r149tcp14.html

It's been at a fixed az/el position on an office bldg roof for a while
but is reportedly in great shape.  They don't use the antenna anymore,
so he'd like to know whether anyone in the satellite community would
be interested in this one.  Contact me off-list if you're interested
and I'll put you in touch!
