Interesting... Does anyone else find it odd (or possibly irresponsible) to put a satellite allocation right up against the band edge. Didn't they consider Doppler shift? That renders the lower 3+ khz of a 25 khz slice unusable. Or is this only for NSS use?

Hi Greg, Please have a look at Footnote 1 at the bottom of the 2 metre bandplan: 1 - Designers and operators of satellites using this section shall not transmit below 144,0025 MHz so that a necessary guard band is provided at the bottom band edge.” This shows that it has been thought about and probably means that it could be used for a nominally 20kHz bandwidth transponder – so long as it has decent filtering on board which is relatively easy to achieve these days! Of course there are very very few “empty spaces” in the 144-146MHz band and even fewer that have any sort of existing international alignment. thanks Graham G3VZV -Original Message- From: Greg D Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 7:07 AM To: AMSAT BB Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: New Satellite Segment in IARU Region 2 Bandplan Interesting...

Graham - Thanks for your efforts with the IARU in starting the movement to get the additional satellite segment. I know a lot of work on your part and others on your team went into getting this to happen after many years of discussions. As I understand it, work is under way to harmonized this new segment with all regions so no need for satellite turn off-on issues. I wish folks would see the additional satellite segment as a big plus in off loading a little pressure for 145.8 to 146 MHz instead of being concerned with possible negatives - which I don't see. Golly, we can use every little bit of spectrum.

Hi Bill, I believe folks actually see the value and yes appreciate it. The point is communication. The more information is shared the better and the more questions raised the better. It helps to fine tune the issue and allows for an exchange of information, clearing up misconceptions, and sometimes even points to issues that can be adressed :-) That's what this list is all about. 73, Stefan, VE4NSA On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 10:46 AM, Bill Ress b...@hsmicrowave.com wrote: Graham - Thanks for your efforts with the IARU in starting the movement to get the additional satellite segment.

[amsat-bb] TARDIS in Space.
This is a bit outside of the realm of traditional amateur satellite launches but I found it to be very interesting nonetheless. Some fans of a popular scifi show have raised the money to launch a replica of the show's time-and-space traveling ship into orbit this fall. From what I know of it so far, it will but a fully functioning sat within a very unusual chassis and will feature a GoPro camera mounted inside with the intention to transmit photos back to earth. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding any real technical information on this blue bird but maybe someone here knows more about it? All I could find was a very brief spec sheet.

Hi Joshua, The antenna looks 145/437 doesn't it.

Wonder if we can get a bunch of Star Trek fans to pay for a replica Enterprise launched into HEO. It certainly shows the power of crowd-funding doesn't it. $88,880 raised in just 30 days, for box similar in size to a 3U CubeSat that has a flashing blue LED on top (the most important part is that LED ;-) and which even if the launch is successful will only stay in orbit for 3 or 4 weeks. Bottom line is that, if given the chance, people are prepared to donate large sums of money to be involved in something to do with space. Your idea of an Enterpise replica is great, but all it really needs to be is a tiny model Enterprise that is ejected out of a 3U CubeSat. Although I hate to say it StarTrek has a far bigger fan following than Dr. Who so the money raised could be proportionally greater. 73 Trevor M5AKA On , M5AKA m5...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi Joshua, The antenna looks 145/437 doesn't it.

Well that's certainly a shame. But I think the group sending it up is unaware that it's going to burn up within a few weeks. The whole push for funding was that donators could have personal data loaded on to the sat for posterity. Not much point to that if it's going to be promptly destroyed in a number of days. 73, Joshua KJ4VYR On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 1:59 PM, M5AKA m5...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi Joshua, The antenna looks 145/437 doesn't it.

I see the Miami Herald reports that radio amateurs are using crowd-funding for a Near Space balloon launch by Charleston students. Looks a good educational project. http://amsat-uk.org/2013/10/23/south-charleston-high-students-to-launch-satellite/ 73 Trevor M5AKA On Wednesday, 23 October 2013, 19:25, Joshua Abraham jarvi...@gmail.com wrote: Well that's certainly a shame. But I think the group sending it up is unaware that it's going to burn up within a few weeks. The whole push for funding was that donators could have personal data loaded on to the sat for posterity. Not much point to that if it's going to be promptly destroyed in a number of days. 73, Joshua KJ4VYR On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 1:59 PM, M5AKA m5...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hi Joshua, The antenna looks 145/437 doesn't it. They are manifested on an Interorbital Systems launch http://www.interorbital.com/ but when the launch will take place is unknown, presumably a year or more from now. It's a 310 km orbit so would only operate for a few weeks before burning up. 73 Trevor M5AKA On Wednesday, 23 October 2013, 18:36, Joshua Abraham jarvi...@gmail.com wrote: This is a bit outside of the realm of traditional amateur satellite launches but I found it to be very interesting nonetheless. Some fans of a popular scifi show have raised the money to launch a replica of the show's time-and-space traveling ship into orbit this fall. From what I know of it so far, it will but a fully functioning sat within a very unusual chassis and will feature a GoPro camera mounted inside with the intention to transmit photos back to earth. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding any real technical information on this blue bird but maybe someone here knows more about it? All I could find was a very brief spec sheet.

$33,000 isn't a lot of money I mean for a community project ... no I don't have $33K to kick in ... but maybe I have $100 for LEO cube sat with a linear transponder in an orbit that lasts more than 3 weeks Let's say launch is $33K and satellite costs are another $10K ... $43K Total That's 430 people contributing $100 or 860 people contributing $50 I've seen High School fundraisers at this level. ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Maybe everyone needs to hold a good ol' fashioned fund-raiser, with people going door-to-door, asking for donations. Start this on January 1, 2014, and end it on December 31. Calculate all the earnings, and bring it to whoever can get the project underway, and launched. We could probably litter LEO, MEO, and HEO with FM birds, or whatever flavors we like. At the very least, we need replacements for AO-51 and HO-68. ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

What is the funding goal for FOX-2 ? How much has been collected so far?
