The AMSAT Office is closed.  FridayI fell and tore my achilles heel.. I am
in a fiberglass cast for 2 weeks and then a plaster cast for four weeks. I
cannot put any weight on my left leg. I do have a wheel chair so I hope my
husband (N4QQ) will take me to the office until I can manage on my own.

[amsat-bb] SatPC32 SuM and ServerSDX language priblem

[Richard Ferryman]

I recently updated SatPC32 from 12.8b to 12.8c.  I backed up my old data,
removed SatPC32 and installed the newer version then restored my backup
data.  Everything is working and SatPC32 itself is using English language.
However any error with comms (ServerSDX) returns an error message in German
and SuM is also using German.   Unfortunately the only German words I know
are not very polite so can someone tell me how to change the language of SuM
and ServerSDX back to English.  I suspect I will also find some other parts
of the package that are in German too.

Thanks from Dick G4BBH.

[Erich Eichmann]

Hello Dick,
I'm sorry about the German error messages in ServerSdx.exe. I have uploaded
a file with Englisch messages. It can be downloaded here:
http://www.dk1tb.de/ServerSdx.exe

Copy the downloaded file into the sub folder SDX of the SatPC32 program
folder (usually C:\Program Files\SatPC32) and replace the current
ServerSdx.exe.

Please let me know whether the rotor control worked with the older file and
the new one.

I will care about the error messages in SuM and inform you.

73s, Erich, DK1TB

[amsat-bb] Mark Spencer's AMSAT Journal Articles

[n0jy]

Through his work on the educational aspects of the Fox satellites, Mark 
Spencer has produced some great experiments and materials.
The Fox-1 attitude determination experiment, and now the Fox-2 MPPT 
system have both been presented in the AMSAT Journal.
If you aren't a member of AMSAT you are missing some great stuff in the 
Journal.


But in this research and work for the Fox-2 MPPT system I believe that 
Mark may have inadvertently answered an age old question that has (to my 
knowledge) never been definitively been answered before. A question as 
old as the icebox itself.
In the MPPT article figure 3, Mark presents a measure of voltage and 
power in three environments: a room (presumably in his home), the 
refrigerator compartment of his refrigerator, and the freezer 
compartment of his refrigerator.
The measured power is higher in the refrigerator and even higher in the 
freezer.


EUREKA!
I believe that Mark has finally proven that the light in the 
refrigerator (or freezer) STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED!
Otherwise, how could there have been any power output in the 
refrigerator or freezer at all?  A solar panel requires light to work.


Thank you, Mark!  I can now share with my mother (poor Pop isn't around 
to enjoy this discovery although he first posed the question to me 50+ 
years ago) that I KNOW.


And keep up the good work that you are doing for the ARRL Education and 
Technology Program too.!

+1 for humor :D

As one of the students on the Fox-2 MPPT project it's great to see interest
in the project and associated topics. Expect to hear more technical details
about the Fox-2 MPPT.

It's pretty neat to be indirectly responsible for answering one of those
pesky questions! Next up on the chopping block:

[amsat-bb] Re: Space News: CubeSats Need Coordination Too

[Arthur Feller]

Space News has the false notion that ITU has regulatory authority.  It has 
none.  All authority remains with ITU Member states.  ITU functions entirely 
within the International Telecommunication Convention and annexed radio 
regulations.

Basic ITU documents are online for free download.  Radio Regulations are 
available here: http://www.itu.int/pub/R-REG-RR/en.  Suggest reading Articles 9 
and 11 on coordination and notification.  Also, read Resolution 757, which is 
an effort to simplify the administrative procedure for small, short life 
projects, and Resolution 646, which applies to some amateur-satellite service 
stations.

Do any of these cubesats have a useable transponder?

[Wouter Weggelaar]

Yes,

FUNcube-1, FUNcube-2 on UKube-1, Delfi-n3Xt, FOX-1 and 2 and KletsKous will
all have transponders and Delfi-C3 had one.
Turksat-3usat also contains a transponder that only worked very briefly.
And please amend if I forgot one.

Regarding the Space News article: not only the role of ITU is not
completely accurate, there is more shortcuts taken. The important thing is
to at least make the CubeSat builders aware.
