[amsat-bb] AubieSat-1 CW
At last I could receive and decode AibieSat-1 CW. The signal is very weak, but it's exceedingly a clear sound. 9:10-9:22 UTC, 2 May 2012, Ele 51 S-W-WN, 437.472 MHz CW http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/20502aub.png http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/20502aub.wav JE9PEL/1, Mineo Wakita ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] AubieSat-1
I've been struggling to hear AubieSat-1. I've heard the antenna didn't deploy. The only previous copy was a very short period on a high pass. However, this AM its signals were strong from 22 down to 5 degrees. Mike (K9QHO) ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] AubieSat-1 launch rescheduled to 27 October, 2011
Due to unforseen mechanical issues involving the launch vehicle hydraulic system and exhaust ducts, the launch date of AubieSat-1 has been postponed until 27 October, 2011. More specific details about the problem can be found here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/NPP/launch/index.html We will keep you informed if any additional changes are made to the launch. Sorry for the inconvenience. ___ 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] AubieSat-1 Launch information for 25 October 2011
Fellow satellite enthusiasts; We fervently request your assistance in receiving transmissions from an upcoming satellite, AubieSat-1, immediately after its launch from Vandenberg AFB, California, USA, 25 October 2011 at 9:52 UTC. AubieSat-1 (AS-1) is an undergraduate - built CubeSat satellite developed by Auburn University. AS-1 is designed to transmit with a power of about 800 milliwatts on a frequency of 437.475 MHz, plus or minus Doppler correction. The beacon signal, along with telemetry, will be sent using A1A continuous wave Morse code at 20 words per minute. Additional telemetry from the onboard science experiment will use CW transmissions up to 60 WPM. Based on the pre-launch orbital data provided by NASA, AS-1 will activate after deployment at 12:21 UTC, 25 October 2011. At that time, the sub-satellite point will be at 34.52 S latitude and 1.52 W longitude over the South Atlantic Ocean. Our predictions are that the first flights over the contiguous United States will begin as shown in the following table: Orbit AOS Apogee LOS General Locale 3 15:54 UTC 50 deg 16:01 UTC New York 4 17:28 UTC 26 deg 17:35 UTC Texas 5 19:07 UTC 48 deg 19:14 UTC California This information will be updated should there be launch scrubs or performance changes in the launch, and additional information will be available upon request for specific locations. Reception reports with data contents are welcomed to the following email addresses: wersijp at auburn dot edu and tam0013 at auburn dot edu An internet Echolink conference group is also planned to begin one-half hour prior to launch and continue until about 30 minutes after confirmation of the first receipt of signals from the satellite. Information on the conference groups title will be distributed nearer to the launch for interested stations. Please email wersijp at auburn dot edu if you require additional information and can assist in the reception and tracking of AS-1. Thank you. -- -- J-M Wersinger, PhD KI4YAU Professor Emeritus Director, AU Student Space Program 334-844-4223 Physics Department Auburn University, AL 36849 -- Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

[amsat-bb] AubieSat-1 on 25 October 11
Hi Trevor; Yes, at this point, AubieSat-1 is scheduled to launch on 25 October 11 as a secondary payload with the NASA NPP launch out of Vandenberg AFB, CA. It is current as of today, 18 September. I have requested the students to prepare a message to be posted to AMSAT-BB to advise the particulars of the satellite. I would expect that it would be posted sometime this week. The group at the Auburn University Student Space Program (AUSSP) would certainly appreciate the amateur space community's support to track and receive telemetry from the satellite. Watch for a message to be posted later this week with details. AUSSP has some initial Keplerian element sets furnished by NASA that will be used for initial orbit predictions. 73 John... WB4LNM Technical Advisor, AUSSP Message: 8 Subject: [amsat-bb] Aubiesat Launch in October ? Gunter's space page currently lists Aubiesat and other CubeSats being lauched October 25, on a Delta. Clearly launch dates are always prone to slippage, does anyone know if that date is still current ?
