HAMSAT VO-52 succumbed in Space on 11th July 2014, while she was on her 49,675th orbit, due to the failure of on-board lithium ion batteries that have met their end of life. Although her desires were to be at work with other systems and sub-systems working normal as per the latest telemetry received, the on-board computer recurring to ‘Reset’ mode due to the failure of batteries is preventing her to do so. Hence, it is decided not to expect any more meaningful and reliable services from HAMSAT VO-52. Since 11th July, every best possible effort has been put in by the spacecraft controllers here in ISTRAC Bangalore to revive her back to life and to help her with work load, so she won’t be swamped when she returns, but with no luck. Though it is hard, the HAMSAT VO-52 designers and controllers insist that the time has come to let the little angel free in space to go drifting on her own from their care and custody. Thus, today 21st July 2014, ISRO have decommissioned 'HAMSAT-VO52' officially. We all here in ISRO do definitely hope that ‘HAMSAT VO-52’ worked tirelessly and was a good friend to the ‘Amateur Radio Fraternity’ around the World. We are sure that HAMSAT was loved by all who worked through her. Though, we are deeply saddened by the loss of HAMSAT VO-52, but she will never be forgotten and far from our hearts, minds and memories. HAMSAT VO-52 will always be remembered by all of us here in ISRO as one of the greatest satellites of ours. Dear ‘HAMSAT’, looking at the sky, we all say ‘Good Bye’ to you. You’ll be greatly missed. Rest in Peace. Nevertheless, at this point of time, on behalf of the World Amateur Radio Fraternity, we thank each and everyone who contributed to the great success of ‘HAMSAT’. Particularly, our sincere thanks to the Chairman ISRO, Dr. K. Radhakrishnan, past chairmen Dr. Kasthurirangan, Dr. G. Madhavan Nair, Director-ISAC Dr. S.K.Shiva Kumar, past ISAC Directors Dr. P.S. Goel, Dr. Shankara, Dr. T.K. Alex, Director-ISTRAC Shri. B.S. Chandrasekhar, scientific secretary Dr. Koteshwar Rao, Project Director-Shri. J.P. Gupta, Deputy project Directors, Mission Director-Shri. R.Suresh, Operations Director-Shri. Parimalarangan and each and every person directly or in-directly contributed. At this point of time, we also thank AMSAT-India and in particular, late Shri. Nagesh Upadhyaya-VU2NUD, Shri. B.S. Gajendra Kumar-VU2BGS, Shri. Prathap Kumar-VU2POP, Air Commodore. Subramanian-VU2UV, Shri. V.P. Sandlas-VU2VP, Dr.R. Ramesh-VU2RMS, Shri. Nitin-VU3TYG, Mr. Williams Leijenaar PE1RAH and each and every member. Pasted below is the message from Mr. R. Suresh, Mission Director: HAMSAT, the first small satellite by ISRO has been Decommissioned after nearly a decade of service to the World Ham community. A true masterpiece among small satellites, designed for one year mission life, but exceeded all expectations by serving for almost 10 years. A truly autonomous satellite, with “Zero maintenance“ in terms of Mission operations, it provided a springboard to test many new concepts such as BMU. LI-ion based power system, automatic Spin rate control and Auto SAOC for maintaining the Satellite attitude without any ground commanding. HAMSAT known as “OSCAR-52” among the Amateur HAM operators has been very popular because of its high sensitivity receiver and strong transmitter. Indian Radio Amateurs on many occasions conveyed to us that they have been greatly honored to share the adulations showered on ISRO and INDIA by the International Radio Amateur for gifting this wonderful satellite HAMSAT. I take this opportunity to applaud the HAMSAT teams at ISAC, ISTRAC and other centre for their efforts and support, which has made ISRO proud among the HAM users across the globe.

Re: [amsat-bb] ANS-199 AMSAT News Service Special Bulletin - AMSAT Fox-1C Launch Opportunity Announced
Hi, AMSAT can open a Project at KICKSTARTER in technology tag. https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/technology I saw a lot of project getting 300, 400% more than originally goal. Some of then looks like a stupid idea, but that´s no matter they get the found´s, and what make no sense for me can be a good deal to others :) Already donated via PAYPAL today, but in my opinion would be great if AMSAT-NA use this way also to get founds for the project!

Re: [amsat-bb] Dnepr Upper Stage Apogee
Good information Dan, We learn a lot! I think that whole amateur radio satellite comunity are looking forward to have a chance and bring back HEO or MEO satellite. Another like FO-29 for me was good enough :) Best regards, Fabiano CT7ABD On Sun, Jul 6, 2014 at 8:03 AM, Daniel Schultz n8...@usa.net wrote: I noticed that after the last Dnepr launch, it's upper stage was raised to an apogee of 1454 km, putting it in a 1454 km x 609 km orbit with a 97.9 degree inclination, in order to avoid collision with any of the 37 satellites it released. There are, however, no legally binding requirements regarding debris mitigation. International agreement requires that objects in orbits lower than 2000 km must exit that region within 25 years after end of mission. Objects in orbits above 2000 km can remain there for longer than 25 years in a disposal orbit, but only a few missions have the excess propulsion capacity to reach that orbit. Some US Government missions have disposed of upper stages to a higher orbit to avoid the need to issue a Notice to Airmen concerning the falling debris hazard. At least one polar orbiting weather satellite launch sent the upper stage on an Earth escape trajectory for disposal. It would seem that the Dnepr orbit is still too low to satisfy the international requirement. In the case of amateur transponder satellites they can be assumed to have an operation lifetime of 40+ years (think OSCAR-7), as I recall debris mitigation suggests re-entry within 25 years of the end of mission. For amateur transponder satellites this might imply 65 years in orbit. NASA is considering a revision to this policy to specify a total lifetime in LEO of no more than 30 years regardless of mission lifetime. Other interesting facts from Scott Hull's July 1 colloquium at NASA Goddard include: 1. There are about 22,000 objects larger than 10 centimeters in the NORAD database, an estimated 500,000 objects between 1 and 10 centimeters which are too small to track, and millions of objects less than one centimeter. The Chinese Fengyun 1C disintegration in 2007 produced about 2850 trackable pieces of debris. The new S-band space fence will be capable of tracking objects larger than 5 centimeters when it becomes operational in 2018. 2. There are about 4000 dead satellites on orbit, and about 1000 active satellites. 3. The debris population has peaks at 750, 900 and 1400 km. You would have to go to Saturn to find a worse debris environment than that of a 750 km Low Earth Orbit. Science missions can be difficult when you live in a minefield. 4. Most spacecraft disintegrations are caused by battery and pressure vessel explosions. Nickel hydrogen batteries are most susceptible to explosion but NiCd and lithium ion batteries can also explode. A lithium ion battery must NEVER be recharged after it has been fully drained. Rocket bodies left in GTO are subject to explosion when the perigee height dips low enough to begin atmospheric heating, which can cause remaining fuel in the tanks to explode. Modern mission design requires that batteries be disconnected from solar arrays and fully discharged and pressure tanks vented to space at the end of the satellite mission. 5. Space is still pretty big. We have been lucky so far. Statistics predict another eight or nine major collisions in the next 40 years with just the current population of debris. 6. The movie Gravity did have a science adviser, and they did get a few things right, namely that there were no loud sounds when the debris struck the shuttle, and objects with lower area to mass ratio arrived first. Nevertheless most NASA folks still consider the movie to be a comedy. If you have the DVD there is an additional 20 minute documentary video about orbital debris on the disk.

The ISS crew soon discovered the stuck VOX transmitter issue. One ISS crewmember left the radio running all night sending SSTV images. The next morning the radio was excessively hot and would not respond to button commands until after the radio was “power cycled”. The Ariss vox box does not have any RF filtering inside the device. The devices was originally designed to run on its own 9-Volt battery. At the last minute, it was modified to extract power from the TM-D700. The Ariss vox box gets its power from the D700 via a special modification to the D700 transceiver. The unfiltered power is full of RF energy when the D700 starts transmitting. The RF energy causes the VOX PTT circuit to get stuck in a transmitting mode until the Watch dog timer in the D700 times-out and forces the radio back to receiving mode. Marexmg, the organization that supplied the Marex SpaceCam1 SSTV software for ISS has recommended to ARISS several times to replace the ARISS vox box with a stable USB vox box.

Some times when ISS come from South América and cross over Europe my rotor need to work flipped, because my stop is North.

[amsat-bb] Nice video on amateur satellite and supporting space science
Re- sending. Take time to watch! Good Job Henk ! 73 Fabiano Hello all, In case you didn't see the announcement about a video produced by Henk, below is the link. It is a really nice video showing amateur radio contribution to space science. I plan on using this video when I give presentations to high school students. I also plan on showing it to my bosses so I can get more science missions made available to the amateur radio community. These two satellites have been a learning experience. There are some things I will want to do differently. I enjoyed getting reports from you and working with you. I want to do it again and it looks like it may happen. We have another science experiment in proposal and are starting to get some funding. The mission will be to map the radiation environment in real time. The trick will be to get the potentially large amount of data down. 9600 baud may not be fast enough. I will try to work something out to stay within the common amateur radio gear. I may have to switch to KISS mode for more compact data. Also, if anyone has captured any audio, hold on to it. I know one of the experiments was to try out FX.25. This is an experimental protocol that wraps forward error correction data around the standard AX.25 packet. This method allows standard TNCs and software to decode error free packets while allowing FX.25 decoders to recover AX.25 packets with a few bit errors. We tried getting the FX.25 software completed but time constraints have been the issue. Last Friday, we were able to test the FX.25 decoder on some audio files and were able to recover corrupted packets. Our small sample showed up to 50% recovery rate. We will be processing more audio files. Our next step is to make the code available. It runs on linux only. Our first problem was trying to get access to the raw data stream before any AX.25 decoder. We were able to find where to tap the raw bit stream in the soundmodem software and pipe it to our FX.25 decoder program. We will write up some documentation and release the software in the next couple weeks. You can try running your audio files through the software and see if you see any improvements. So, next question. How many people are running linux for their ground station? How many would be interested? We are thinking for the next satellite to develop a telemetry protocol with forward error correction that will greatly improve packet decoding. We will target FM modulation since that is easier to track and capture. Since we only know how to program in linux, we would target that platform. Anyone wanting to port to Windows or Mac is welcomed to our code.

[amsat-bb] Re: LVB
Hello Myles, I have one LVB tracker interface under Yaesu G5500 rotator, is not installed outside yet, what I have idea to do this weekend, but i can tell you I have made 1 week tests inside home and I liked very much the precision and performance under NOVA for Windows. Easy, no external DC supply needed, and very simple to program and setting up. LCD show me azimuth and alevation where antena is and where she goes. I can take photos and sent you this evening.

[amsat-bb] How you do DOPPLER correction in Linear Transponders?
Dear friends, We know that some Satellite Operators use diferent system to doppler control. For Linear Transponder 1) Adjust uplink and downlink automatic by CAT? (Not always woks, some times I´m up or down from the computer adjust) 2) Adjust uplink and downlink manual 3) Keep Uplink fixed and adjust only the Downlink frequency. What is the more indicate method to use? FT-847 have knob to adjust Uplink without change downlink VFO, and I´m using it to keep my voice in downlink at same downlink much I can. But I know some operators use fixed uplink. How you do? -- 73 Fabiano Moser CR7/PY5RX ARISS-PORTUGAL (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Representative at Teleconference and Portugal Telebridge Coordinator.
