I've got no problem with Trevor's posts.  I would prefer they continue 
rather than stop.


But for those who AREN'T interested, perhaps Trevor could add some 
easily recognizable mark to the news posts, to make it easier to filter 
them out while not blocking his other posts?  Like adding FYI:: to the 
subject or something?


If Trevor decides to do something like that to accommodate those who 
don't want the news, they should consider that he is paying them a 
courtesy.  If it were me, I sure wouldn't bother.

[amsat-bb] Re: Satellite hit by debris from weapon test

2013-03-11 Thread Alan
Dennis,

Dashboard cameras.  OK, you asked a serious question, but I couldn't resist.
The real answer is that it comes down to an array of radars, and lots of
computing power at Space Command, or other similar agencies.   Ordinary
launches are fairly obvious, as are the "dropped" gloves, tool kits,
washers, etc from the ISS or other such operations.  They track these, and
can predict close approaches very accurately.  We get close approach
warnings periodically for AMSAT spacecraft.  

In this case, it was the remains of a weapons test.  That is a lot messier.
All the debris radiates outward from the initial impact/explosion, and there
are often large numbers of them.  The source can be identified since the
debris can be projected/calculated backward in time to the initial point.
After that, it is just a matter of continuous updates over the years.

73s,

Alan
WA4SCA

CNN are reporting the BLITS satellite was rendered inoperable after being

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/09/tech/satellite-hit/index.html 

Wiki says the weapon test created 2,317 pieces of trackable size (golf ball 
size and larger) and an estimated 150,000 debris particles so there's 
clearly potential for more impacts.

Thank you Trevor, for these.  Most of the time I've heard of them
before, but sometimes not.

In the information age where we are bombarded by multiple
firehoses, it is easy to miss something.  Having relevant items
pointed to here helps that, at least some.

Emails are light and easy to deal with.  The simple application
of the delete key in your mailer makes them go away.  In general
50% of the emails I get on lists are deleted fairly quickly, leaving
the others for more reading.

If people like Ted don't like them, any subject header that smells
like a re-transmission should be automatically deleted, and if that
really really isn't enough, mails from Trevor could simply be
zapped on arrival.  That can be automated (deleting) in mailers
like Thunderbird.  But, I hope no one does that because Trevor
has done a lot.

Ted:

I, too, want you to know that I appreciate what Trevor does for us.

But I write this in response to your post because I am deeply offended 
by your general demeanor (that idiot post about Al Gore) , your use of 
my Savior's name (no Christian would ever use his name that way, thus 
making it profane) and just bad language in general.  You may wish to be 
annoyed by Trevor's posts, and you may even wish to react to them.   
But, please keep it civil.  A smile take less energy than a scowl.


Thanks

Why, why, then, do you need to post every single fart that occurs more than
500 feet AGL anywhere on earth?

In the name of Jesus Christ, please, please give it a break with your serial
posting !!!

If this gets me kicked off the AMSAT reflector, so be it, but someone has to
say it

CNN are reporting the BLITS satellite was rendered inoperable after being
impacted by debris from a 2007 weapon test.

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/09/tech/satellite-hit/index.html

Wiki says the weapon test created 2,317 pieces of trackable size (golf ball
size and larger) and an estimated 150,000 debris particles so there's
clearly potential for more impacts.

[amsat-bb] Re: WiSP under Windows 7

2013-03-11 Thread Mineo Wakita

I wrote an article called "How to setup WiSP32 in Vista"
in my HP several years ago.
I think this method is similar in "WiSP under Windows 7".
