[amsat-bb] Re: ARISSat-1 Silent? ( Request)
Hi Stuart, As of right now, ARISSat-1 is up. Telemetry has come in from multiple ground stations within the last few minutes. Depending on the orbit, there is often a delay between the time when ARISSat comes out of eclipse and the time when it starts transmitting telemetry. If anyone in the satellite's footprint is running ARISSatTLM and sending telemetry into the Internet telemetry server, then the telemetry web pages will get updated (within about a minute). Note that sometimes the orbit takes the satellite out over the Pacific and over areas of the world without any active ground stations (that receive the telemetry), so it can be two or three hours before ARISSat-1 goes over another groundstation that is submitting telemetry and hence the web page could be two or three hours old and that does not indicate a problem. The telemetry web pages are at http://www.arissattlm.org/mobile and http://www.arissattlm.org/live 73, Douglas KA2UPW/5 -Original Message- From: Stuart Balanger wa2...@gmail.com To: AMSAT-BB AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Sent: Thu, Sep 29, 2011 9:04 am Subject: [amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 Silent?

14:50 UTC - 9/29/2011 ... I'm receiving ARISSat-1 very strong over Orlando. Reading the voice ID, voice TLM, SSTV and messages with little fading on a ground plane with preamp.

It appears that the site owner has had a hissy-fit over criticism of a magical antenna design, and has pulled it down. A spot of googling will turn up a copy of the original article, though, which I won't link to directly just in case HB9ABX gets even more upset. Alternatively you could email him and see if he'll sell you a copy. Nothing is ever entirely deleted from the Internet. Nothing. -- Gordon JC Pearce MM0YEQ gordon...@gjcp.net ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
