ISS ops have been a bit spotty due to the shuttle mission and all the EVA activity. Today (July 25) packet was active on 145.825 simplex and will be powered down again for EVA 5 on Monday (July 27).

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS
No problem Kevin. I dont rely on HRD sat tracker much but after seeing your message on the board I did some investigating to see what the problem actually was. My HRD sat tracking was lagging like yours for the ISS, I closed it and tried running as administrator and uploading keps and nothing changed. By chance I changed my keps on satpc32 from celestrak to amsat and the ISS was predicted to be the same position as HRD. That is how I came across the remedy for HRD, but when I eliminated the amsat site for keps downloads, all it showed was the moon no matter what sat I selected, so I shut down sat tracker and restarted and everything worked like it should. And before Alan asks again, my callsign is AB9RU, and thanks again Alan for your satpc32 doppler file, and Kevin good luck hunting packet QSO's on the ISS digi ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

I heard a mix. Often name or location, sometimes the call sign or parts of it. He did my suffix, then the whole call on the return, along with the location (state only). It was usually pretty clear who he was talking to but I can see how there is room for improvement. The main problem I had was not knowing when he was done with the previous QSO, as he never prompted with QRZ, and only 73'd the previous caller about a third of the time.

It’s the responsibility of ARISS to teach the ISS crews how to handle a pile up and to teach them the correct exchanges. ARISS has been successful in getting the ISS crews to pass their licenses. ARISS has not successful in teaching the ISS crews how to use the Amateur Radio equipment or the proper “Exchange” protocols.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS
Jack, The ISS does not have a dedicated amateur beacon. It operates in a variety of modes, with the most common being packet and voice with two meter downlinks on 145.825 and 145.800, respectively. See this link for more detailed info: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=19&retURL=/satel lites/status.php and this one for relatively current status: http://www.issfanclub.com When it is active, it is loud, easily heard on an HT, though of course a real antenna is better. Due to various operational requirements, it is often QRT. As for SATPC32ISS, basically it just requires the same serial link as the regular program. Are you using an IC-910? In earlier versions you needed a jumper on the ACC socket, but as of version 12.8a that is no longer required.

ISS is not going to just "burn up". ISS is an "engine" and that engine requires federal US dollars to keep running. NASA having just about finished ISS has no idea of what to do with it, and wants to move on to the next grand project. Sadly for them in this time of 1.6 trillion deficts there is no more money for "the next logical step" and so they are forced to find dollars somewhere else...and for them that means shutting down ISS. NASA isnt going back to the Moon and they are not going to get to shut ISS down. It will be around for a very long time. Robert WB5MZO _ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

Ultimately it's all down to politics in Washington DC. If you think about it if the US cannot afford to sustain a small space station that's as close to the Earth as possible then there is no way they can afford a base on the Moon let alone Mars. ISS requires frequent resupply missions to keep it going, it's nowhere near self sustained. They haven't even got the dirty laundry issue cracked - how do you wash clothes in space ? Personally I think ISS will still be there in 2025 and even then they'll be looking to extend its mission. 73 Trevor M5AKA ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Lost in this conversation is the fact that very soon we (US) will no longer have a way to get to the ISS -- with the retirement of the shuttle fleet... I have no hard data on the structural integrity of a thin steel body that alternates between extreme heat and cold multiples times each day for decades, but it seems highly improbable that the ISS would remain on orbit for so many years and remain a safe place for humans to hang out. Don't forget that on orbit construction began in 1998 -- meaning the primary structure is older than my car and I drive a seriously tired old clunker! :-) 73 de Jeff, KE9V ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS Qsl
If you are digipeating "through" the ISS then you are using the ISS as a relay just like any other satellite that you communicate through and that would not qualify as a contact with the ISS (or satellite). If you desire a contact with the ISS then you must contact it directly. The most rewarding way is to talk directly to the crew (but a lot like rare DX). You can use packet to connect to the ISS remote system (RS0ISS-3) when that is active to receive an automatic response from the system on board or connect to the BBS (not recommended during heavy traffic periods). I think it might have an auto response from RS0ISS-4 as well but do not recall at this moment. If you just want a SWL card for hearing the ISS then send in your report to your respective QSL bureau.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS HRD
Kevin, The AMSAT Keps distribution service dates back to the dark ages when the Internet as we know it did not exist. Many got their info from the packet system since e-mail was fairly hard, and expensive, to come by. Also, all satellites were in a high enough orbits, and did not maneuver, that their Keps changed very slowly. Usually the Keps were good for a month or more, with the difference being only a few seconds when you updated. AMSAT.ALL is updated about once a week, no matter how many times you download it. For most satellites, that was, and is, more than enough. They do have the advantage that they use only the common satellite names, and at times in the past have quietly fixed some cases where Space Track has incorrectly paired object numbers with common names. They also include Keps for satellites which for some reason do not appear from Space Track, but only on their own web sites. For the ISS, and the Shuttle for one more flight, your best source for data is CelesTrak which does Keps, and only Keps, or Space Track. All the major tracking programs will do this for you, though you will need to insure they are using the correct files. It is a common problem, often discussed here, and relatively simply addressed. For one old program I use for special purposes, I just cut and paste the new data if necessary. The Keps posted there are not really an integral part of the AMSAT web site, but just a place where the data is provided for convenience. I hope a bit of historical perspective, and understanding what is going on behind the scenes, helps. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Deane Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2011 1:06 AM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] ISS HRD So I have confirmed HRD is like 23 minutes ahead of Amsat, I got a good Digi Qso on the last pass...

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS HRD
Hi Gordon, Why bother with the rants if you feel so pissed? I also liked the "old" amsat site but also realise things have moved on since then. Way back (!) I used to get my keps from the scheds on 20 metres along with several other folk, we all used to pool our handwritten notes to get consensus on the probable keps. Then they were entered manually into a derivative of Tom Clark's "orbit" program, thanks to Phil ZL1PK, who had access to the work computer and then disseminated to other interested amateurs. Sometimes by MAIL!. Today I fire up SATpc and upload the latest keps, have a look at the track of the selected sat, look at the mutual visibility and decide if it's worth going on air.. Tragic really when I think that I used to listen for AO10 and then try to get onboard using all (really) home brew gear. So I guess , is the amsat community about grid chasing, moaning about the HEO LEO FM APRS ISS DATA ETC satellites or about amateur experimentation on OUR frequencies using space based technology? In any event I expect a heap of replies about the direction that some of the posters to this forum seem to be heading in.(hi Keith!) In my opinion(!) the majority of folk on the board are far more interested in chasing grids and complaining about the minutiae of operating a given sat instead of debating the real issues... like where or who is going to provide more space junk for us to (hopefully) experiment with. Notice I did not say grid chase, position finangle systems, space relay systems, or any thing else All I would like to see is real debate and experimentation on AMSAT (as in real, and hypothetical future sats, as opposed to the present fixation on the lack of "x" satellites). As an old curmudgeon these topics exercise my limited mental capabilities but I would still like to see some intelligent discussion on at least some of of the crazy "I'm entitled to this (information) I see far too often on this board. Get real: Search for it your selves...Google...Join your local club, get on air and ask, go to a local college and join there science class, do some research at your local library...etc etc. I really worry that the "amateur" service is going to vanish mainly due to "the we are entitled to it" mentality. We aren't. Don, ZL1THO ___ 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!

FN31)! I don't know if there's any terrestrial APRS, or any other sort of 1200bps packet, but it's probably worth listening out for that to test your decoding. Receive levels are surprisingly uncritical, but if you can get access to a deviation meter or service monitor to set up the transmit levels you'll get on a lot better. Round here (NW Scotland) APRS has undergone a sudden and massive resurgence of interest, and 144.800 is extremely busy. Gordon MM0YEQ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

They used to run packet on VHF split 144.990 up and 145.800 down so anything is possible. They may have left it on one of the unlisted uplinks or 145.800 simplex. Stuff happens.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS Keps
Kevin, The NASA.ALL Keps are issued and updated weekly, normally Friday, as they have been for literally decades. The on line tracker widget gets Keps directly, and so will be as up to date as Celestrak and Space Track. Two different systems, and purposes, which is why there is a difference. You will see a similar situation with ARISSat-1 as it slowly descends. Which is a good chance to get another plug in for the Chicken Little Contest. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Deane Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 3:33 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] ISS Keps So here we are again, Amsat shows the ISS in the right spot but the keps it gives out for automatic updates are around 6 minutes off again.

I think there may be something more to this. You're saying celestrak keps are as correct and up to date as the online tracker. However, both HRD and SatPC were wrong for me last night and I know HRD uses celestrak keps, which I know were less than 12 hours old, if not only a couple hours old.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS Keps
Tim, The font of all Keplerian knowledge, except for some of the satellites which do not have their's published for security or other matters, is Space Track. Space Track feeds Celestrak. There can be a few hours lag as the updates propogate through the systems, and software updates. Usually no more than 6-8m hours. Both SATPC32 and HRD used Celestrak Keps, but they can, and do, use the NASA.ALL Keps. It depends on how you have them configured. No mystery, really. 73s, Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf Of Tim Goodrich Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 2:45 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: ISS Keps I think there may be something more to this.

Nick, I really don't remember what they sent back in the large envelope. After you asked, I searched for the QSL I received sometime ago to see if anything else was with it-a certificate or something. Just have the QSL's so I can't answer the question. I was part of a team that did a space shuttle QSL'ing and we sent out the QSL only. It was a pleasure to read all the cards and see everything that was sent to the Astronauts. I was amazed at how many contacts the SS made as they sent a list for us to verify them by and only about 1/3 of the QSO's requested a QSL. It seems to me that if you talk to an astronaut, you would want to display a QSL in the shack for such an accomplishment. All the cards were forwarded to NASA in Houston to the Astronauts that actually performed the QSO's in Space. They wrote back and sent a great poster to the team as a reward for volunteering to do the QSL's. That's why I explained that the whole process takes time. Many people involved and my hat is off to those volunteers that make us happy. 73, Dee -Original Message- From: Daniel "Nick" Kucij [mailto:dnku...@myfairpoint.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 3:19 PM To: n...@amsat.org Subject: ISS INFO Hi Dee, I was fortunate to get a QSO with the ISS the other evening.

The crew is still working on the cooling problem, so the radio has been off a lot for EVAs. I believe it's on again now, but don't know what the status was during the pass you mention. In any case, you wouldn't have heard anything because you were on the wrong frequency -- the radio is in packet mode and the downlink for that is 145.825.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS keps
The ISS did some thruster tests recently. That could account for the difference. ISS is a dynamic satellite. It has minor and major changes to its orbit and the "predicts" are sometime a bit behind the actual until things fall into a more stable state and get updated. I expect the numbers will be off again after the Soyuz undock today (tomorrow UTC).

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS visable
What tracking program are you running? I know in the "Rotor Setup" of SatPC32 there are parameters that you can adjust that will 'smooth out' a lot of the start/stop jerkiness. You can command the rotor to move at specified time intervals, or when the tracked object changes position by an adjustable number of degrees. You also have to consider the pattern of your antenna. If the 3dB points of your antenna are 30*, it makes _no_ sense to move them every 5*. The first time I ran a PC controlled Az/El setup I was using one of the "Ultimate Charger" controllers, and I didn't think to 'open up' the dead-band setting. I thought the antennas were going to shake themselves (and the tower!) apart. I don't recall the settings I'm using with SatPC32 and my Fox Delta LVB 'clone', but it tracks very smoothly. with little antenna shake.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS visable
I have the same set-up and problem. I haven't tried it yet but a wise and trusted friend told me the issue was a saggy power supply in the controller. When the motors were running there was less voltage to the end of the pot for position information and when the motors stop more voltage and bang position error that needs to be corrected. motors back on etc. He suggested large electrolytics on the dc rail and smaller caps on the position voltage. all external to the controller so easy to try but too busy to play right now. Another alternative was additional voltage regulation on the ends of the pots. If it works please let me know.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS BBS
It is annoying when someone connects to the ISS mailbox during a "prime time" pass. If it's the middle of the night when it's passing by us, that's usually no big deal because very few "live" stations are at the keyboard. My personal rule is I don't connect to the mailbox inside the hours of 0600-2300 and if I see any stations actively sending out CQ. Secondly, it is even more annoying when someone connects to the mailbox and they can't keep a connection, usually because they are running some multi-band or high-gain vertical with too many nulls to actually keep a connected packet session established. I see it a lot, Kevin, but just deal with it I can tell when this is happening just by the sound of the packets. Once I start hearing a certain pattern, I know the pass is likely shot for having any real contacts. Regarding an unpublished email address, if you want to contact the "offending" station, we have this thing called a call book or FCC database that typically offers a station or mailing address for the individual. An old fashioned letter or QSL with a note works wonders. On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 10:47 PM, Kevin Deane wrote: > > The ISS Maildrop is great for people in low population areas.

Not sure about your report source. www.ariss.net seems to be showing a lot of activity and I don't think there are that many 9600 baud IGATES that would be capturing that much data. Likely still at 1200 baud. As for the digi ID, it changes from time to time but if you use the recommended alias of ARISS then it won't matter which ID is currently operational.

[amsat-bb] Re: ISS Message Board
> If Gordon ... is accurate, then what is > the purpose of the BBS? None practically. It is the most inefficient AX.25 packet arrangement possible. AX.25 connected packet depends on line-by-line ACKS. This works on a two-way balanced link when both stations hear each other reliably and without interference. But the Earth to ISS path is anything but balanced. It is solid ISS to earth, but the other way is probably 10% if that much. Thus, for each packet delivered, there are 10 RETRIES or more than 20 packets on channel to deliver EACH LINE. But it is even worse than that. The ISS uses AX25V2L2 which means it does not even send a RETRY without first sending a "what was your last heard line number" packet. SO it will not even retry a single line until TWO more packets have been exchanged. Now multiply that by the 10% channel performance and it might take 20, 30 or 40 packets to deliver just ONE LINE. That is why if someone logs onto the BBS, that the pass is more or less wasted. The logee never gets a successful download due to all the bazillions of inefficient overhead, and no one else gets to make any digipeated contacts either. Just listen to a BBS pass, and its wall to wall packets, but only a line or two are actually delivered in most cases. The only true use of the BBS is possible if the ground station is using a few kilowatts of ERP to make sure that there are no missing ACKS!

Time for a quick description, for those who may be less familiar with how packet BBSes work. Many of us are running packet radio BBSes or even just mailboxes, on modern computing hardware. Now this hardware with 16- and 32-bit processors running at clock speeds of over 100MHz, up to a megabyte or even more of RAM and maybe as much as a couple of gigabytes (that's 1024 megabytes) of mass storage is often capable of handling many simultaneous connections. Users can send messages to each other directly or via mailboxes, while other users are simultaneously reading messages or browsing saved bulletins - perhaps as many as eight users at once! By comparison, the 8-bit 4MHz microprocessors used in most normal TNCs can really only cope with a single connection at a time. Once someone is in connected mode, everything else gets rejected. Some of the more modern TNCs can accept very large amounts of RAM (the KPC-3 can have 32 kilobytes), but most have much less than that. The TNCs built into radios tend to be fairly simpleminded beasts, with crude firmware and very little RAM for storing messages and connections. The UI packets, on the other hand, are merely received and, if they are valid, repeated (almost verbatim) a moment later. There is a slight modification to the header to indicate that they've been through a digipeater, but the message content remains unmodified. Since the TNC has no need to track any state for these packets - UI is not a connected mode - then it can handle digipeating packets for any stations it can hear. > > the available resources.
