Re: [amsat-bb] AO-73 Telemetry Question
Tom, I recall in conversation with one of our Fox Team who was using an SDR application that MIGHT have been HDSDR, that the I-Q can be inverted. I don't know if it's a setting or what, I don't use HDSDR software and as I said I'm not sure he was using HDSDR. But it might be worth a look to see if you have such an option and switch it to see what happens.

It does seem to lock on to the (Detected Frequency 2262 Hz) but that's about all it does. The Dashboard is brilliant and I would like to get it working. Due to deed restrictions no outside antennas are allowed so the signal is not that strong here (about 5dB above the noise) and it might never work from here. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

In fact this requirement was removed over a year ago because it could not be suitably implemented to fit in the space available on the PCB. You see, at that time new inhibit requirements that were received from the launch providers caused us to have to re-engineer the battery board. Moving the battery fail feature to another board was not possible because we could not afford to be redesigning the whole satellite, moving things around from each board to another to find room, in the time left to delivery (at that point the launch had not yet slipped to 2015 and we were due to deliver in March 2014). The choice had to be made to cut the battery fail protection from the battery board in order to incorporate the inhibits, to make the launch. The removal of this feature was brought forth at the Symposium last year, but the tale lives on. Yes, it was an outstanding feature but as has been pointed out in some of the other emails going on right now, there is a real limit to what we can fit in a 1U CubeSat and in the time and under the provisions allowed by our rideshare. Don't think it didn't get cut without a fight! :-) The Fox-1A Engineering Unit is sitting on the official AMSAT test table in my shack right now, having arrived FedEx this morning after some time in the shop for fixes to hardware that we found in the first round of EU testing and having a new IHU all installed.

I've been hearing that for years, so please forgive my skepticism. Tony AA2TX himself told me that the analog Fox-1 would be followed by the digital Fox-2. Now we have Fox-1B, Fox-1C, etc, that will also be analog. Forgive me if I feel a little like Achilles racing the tortoise. Ah, but the plan always was to build four of the Fox-1 series, which is a series of FM analog transponders. Initially, one had a launch and the other three would be ready to fly if other opportunities came up. If you're going to spend the time developing them, why not partner for free launches (ELaNa) for more than one? The opportunities for an FM transponder and educational outreach are good. I still have universities looking to partner. Look at it this way... we are clearing the shelves with 3 out of 4 of the intended Fox-1 going to orbit, that really means that we can pretty much call it a day with Fox-1 and move on to Fox-2 now. We will build them all and be done with them all by next May. There will be more than one flying soon, so that we can learn how well they work and apply those lessons to Fox-2 while we're working out the design. It's only the beginning!

Arguing for doing something different, as you also did just a bit ago today, makes sense. Why did the U.S. go back to the moon so many times? I don't know. But we did, and that is done. You could argue now that it had been done before, why did we do it over and over, it was the same old thing. That doesn't change the facts. There is an audience for these FM satellites. It's great to have universities looking to partner, but what do they bring to the table, really? Are we sure they're not just looking for free spectrum? Both universities that I am working with are building amateur radio ground stations and interesting the students in becoming hams. We all benefit from that. And some other universities want to fly an ADAC system. We may benefit from that on Fox-2. one flying soon, so that we can learn how well they work and apply those lessons to Fox-2 while we're working out the design. We already know how well they'll work because we've done the same thing many times before. I hate to say it, but this is no longer rocket science. The physics is well understood, and those same physics tell us how we could accomplish so much more with our (currently) limited resources. We have already learned a great deal from an engineering process perspective, as well as about cramming a lot into a little cubesat. Not rocket science, but certainly for a large all volunteer group a valuable step toward what it will take to build something more complex. I think you over estimate the ability of an all-volunteer workforce, in terms of churning out satellites akin to how a business does it. Amateur radio is a hobby! You see lemons. I see lemonade.

Re: [amsat-bb] Fox on ARRL website
Hi Trevor, The Fox-1 series will support High Speed (up to 9600) downlink. For the Fox-1 we're launching next year, that means that the images from the Virginia Tech camera experiment will be downlinked on the high speed because of their size, and the high speed will also include the same telemetry that the Slow Speed telemetry (sub-audible data under transponder operations) conveys. The High Speed mode must be commanded and will be activated by the AMSAT Operations Team for periods up to 24 hours. Normally the satellite will run in the transponder/Slow Speed data mode. The High Speed mode was designed to be experimental, and the Virginia Tech camera will take advantage of it. The plan is for Fox-1 Series satellites to be able to support our partner's experiments which may require high speed telemetry or data downlink, and in such future cases if the experiment requires high speed all of the time then when the experiment has completed its mission we would turn the satellite back to transponder/slow speed telemetry.

Re: [amsat-bb] Appearing on http://www.ariss.net/
I back Bob on this. Unless you live in the sticks, and possibly even then it's not like there's no way to get your location on the internet via APRS without going through the ISS a few times a day. I have tried keyboard contacts via ISS, it's like calling CQ on a dead 10 meters at midnight most of the time. At least the interference to that is less now with the lesser beacon activity. But there are so much better things to do with ISS than just add another digipeater to your unattended APRS beacon. Maybe you do it a couple of times to prove that you can, but things like MAREA or yet to be thought of things seem much more an advancement of the art.

Hi Nick, You did not miss anything, the information you read in the Journal is as new to you as it is to us. It was learned at the time Barry was writing his Apogee View in March but due to Tony's illness and passing the Journal issue was delayed a week or two in order to include the information about Tony.

Barry points out, that while AMSAT is dissappointed in the launch schedule slippage, it will result in more time to to complete and test the satellite prior to delivery and allow greater confidence in the spacecraft's readiness. Reading further, it also appears the possibility exists FOX-1 might get moved to the ELaNa-11 mission currently scheduled for March/April 2015. ELaNa-11 is projected for a slightly different orbit, resulting in a lower apogee and shorter orbital life.

The 11 year orbit and 780 km apogee is much better than an apogee in the 600 km range and a 6.5 year orbital life. Given that Fox-1 is the first amateur satellite designed for it's batteries to eventually die, we should give it the opportunity! Also, since it's so hard to get a launch these days, it's best that when we do get a launch, it can stay in orbit for as long as possible. And for everyone waiting for a new FM satellite who is disappointed by the delay: The good news is that we should get a new Mode U/V FM satellite at approximately the same time Fox-1 was supposed to launch. The QB50p2 satellite is scheduled for launch on June 19th with an AMSAT-F U/V FM transponder on board. After six months, the satellite is supposed to be turned over for amateur use, if all goes well.

[amsat-bb] Re: N American Satellite Activity UP
When Fox-1 is completed, the whole design kit and kaboodle will be published to shed the ITAR shroud (as we have done with what has been developed as we go along, in the AMSAT-NA Space Symposium Proceedings) and anyone who wants to build one can use it or adapt it (hopefully keeping the ham transponder!) for their CubeSat RF design and fly it in/from/for another country with their experiments. The idea being as JoAnne said, the radio part is proven and provides a platform so they can concentrate on their experiments and build a CubeSat that handily just happens to contain a transponder for hams during, or when they are done with, their experiments. Of course if ITAR restrictions are eased or removed, then AMSAT-NA could collaborate with other countries as well and incorporate their experiments as we are doing with our U.S. partners now.

The Fox-1 boards supply the avionics radio half of the satellite leaving the students to concentrate on designing their scientific payload. Fox boards have a documented interface for experimenters to use. FUNcube switches between ham voice/cw modes and full power telemetry.

I have been calling 2 HF traffic nets for several years and have attempted to pass traffic to someone in the same town as the message is to be passed to , only to have that station deny taking that traffic .

[amsat-bb] Re: [suitsat2] ARISSat-1 Transmissions over North America Thursday PM
Do we know which callsigns were sent out over CW? There's a limited set of 32 CW Ids that are sent when the SD card is not available. Also, did we get any of the stock SSTV images? Are we still seeing this? I pulled the one of the latest STP files (201108182126711), and it's indicating that call signs are being sent from the SD card currently, and the MET is 1h 7s. I didn't instrument the FM mission enough to be able to tell from the telemetry stream if it's getting more from the SD card or not, unfortunately. Jerry On 8/18/2011 6:33 PM, Gould Smith wrote: During the 2320Z pass of ARISSat-1 over North America this evening a number of changes to the 2m FM transmissions were noted. 1) Male voice for telemetry means that the female voice files on the SD card could not be read 2) No greetings, mean that the greetings stored on the SD card could not be read. 4) MET of 2M while the satellite was still in a long period of sunlight - satellite must have reset during sunlight 4) FM transmissions consisted of voice ID, male telemetry and SSTV image in rotation Please send your BPSK telemetry into the server. 73, Gould, WA4SXM ___ suitsat2 mailing list suits...@tapr.org https://www.tapr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/suitsat2 ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] transponder ?
I recall the actual birthplace of ARISsat-1 was SuitSat-2 . I may be mistaken. However after following the progress , I never recall it's intentions of being a SSB Transponder . It seems the two ssb birds that are in orbit and useable do not get near the traffic the FM birds get . There is only one digital sat working which sees a lot of traffic . I enjoy the digital birds much more than listening to rag chew on voice . There is always HF and VHF repeaters for ragchewing . I really would prefer a digipeater on the Lunar surface . And someone could set up a link from the in orbit sats so We could skip from RS0ISS to other satellites . But I applaud the crew that built ARISsat , it would have been one great machine for the entire Ham community. Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

?Just heard a packet signal on 437.305 - 437.300 . Did not print so don't know which sat it was . That was 15 minutes ahead of fast1 but was in the LOS path best I could tell . Didn't see anyother sat with that downlink anywhere close . Maybe NanoSail still ticking ? Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

I heard packet signals at least 2 minutes ahead of the FASTRAC packet. Didn't get a print of the signal . I see the spamers have taken over the forums page on the fastrac website . They need to clean it out. Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member? Join now to support the amateur satellite program!

[amsat-bb] nano sail
Let Me try this again . I was getting computer and radio set up to listen for Nano Sail sat. I heard packet signal before I had the station ready to recieve . It was close to 2 minutes ahead of fastrac .Fastrac was at 0 deg. elevation when I heard the first packet signal. Could NanoSail be that far ahead of Fastrac ? In packet strings below , can anyone tell Me which are the telemetry values ? Thanks , Jerry WB5LHD Fastrac .

[amsat-bb] unknown signal
Robert G8ATE Thanks for the reply . I live in the boonies , at least 10 miles from the nearest super market scanner . So I think I can rule that out . I do have a remote weather station , Maybe from that , but I've never seen it before . I thought maybe that or some internal software message ? I just thought it strange it happened as GO32 was overhead and that is what I was listening for. Thanks again Jerry WB5LHD ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
