Oggetto: [amsat-bb] HAMSAT VO-52 Status
Hello All,
Looking at the discussions and the concerns expressed about VO-52,all
that I can share at this moment is 'HAMSAT VO-52' is in 'Excellent
Health' after recovery operations. Right now, it is under observation.
However, decision about switching 'ON' the transponder is pending
clearance. Decision expected in other couple of days.
The user community will be informed well in advance about the
transponder switching.
Note:
'HAMSAT VO-52' is the property owned, operated and maintained by the
Government of India/ISRO. Hence, unlike other amateur radio satellites
owned, operated and maintained by non-governmental agencies, detailed
information cannot be shared with anyone in accordance with the
prevailing governmental regulations.
Hope this bit of information would remove the doubts and concerns
about the HAMSAT VO-52 status and this is shared with you all with
the concurrence of 'HAMSAT VO-52' Operations Director, Mr. T.
Parimalarangan.
with regards,
Mani, VU2WMY

Hi Stefan VE4NSA
When AO40 was in trouble, did Stacey Mils W4SM control station
wasting his time with his daily reports on AMSAT-BB ?

As much as I appreciate the concerns, I rather have the team working
on getting the satellite up and running again.
I don't need weekly updates! When they have something important to say
they will. It's that simple. Don't waste their time.

Hi Nithin,
Is there a way that you, ISRO or Amsat India can keep us (Ham Radio
community) informed about the status of VO-52.
The silence around VO-52 gives me a bad feeling.
Maybe it is possible to gives us an update lets say every week?
More frequent is also welcome ;-)

Hi Jan, PE0SAT
I agree with you because I am interested to know if the Indian
transponder has been switched or not with the Dutch transponder
and what the result was.
The silence around VO-52 make me concerned because after
AO-51 died probably VO-52 in my opinion has been used to
much in FM all over the world determining a deterioration
of the batteries.
We need VO-52 because OSCAR-7 is strongly FMing and the
rest of satellites except FO-29 are in very bad conditions.
I would like to receive an official report about the VO-52
situation from ISRO through AMSAT-India very often,
I agree with you every week or less.
I remember that when AO40 was in truble we got a dayly
report on AMSAT-BB every day from Stacey Mills,W4SM
because he was the main command station of the bird and
this make a great difference.
I can't understand why the command station for VO-52
must be ISRO using not amateur frequencies enstead of
AMSAT India using the amateur bands.
