All satellites must be operated as part of a licensed service. To the best of my knowledge there is no equivalent to the FCC's Part 15 for satellite operations. Further since it is required that all satellites have the capability of being commanded off, two-way communication is also aways required. It is a mistake I see frequently that people think that local rules regarding low power RF emitters can be applied to a project with international implications like a satellite. 73, Lee-KU4OS On Wednesday, July 28, 2010 12:22:58 pm George Henry wrote: > Quote: "If the your (sic) TubeSat application does not require two-way > communications, a radio operator's license is not required" > > > Downlink frequencies available: amateur 433 MHz 500 mW, "license-free" 902 > - 928 MHz or 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz, 100 mW - 1000 mW "selectable" > > Last I knew, 902 - 928 MHz had no US or international allocation > for satellite downlink use, the amateur downlink frequency conflicts with > the US band plan (the launch company is US-based), and isn't the > space-to-earth allocation at 2400 - 2483.5 ONLY for amateur radio > satellites? > > > George, KA3HSW > > > > > - Original Message > > > From: Rich Dailey > > To: amsat-bb@amsat.org > > Sent: Wed, July 28, 2010 7:28:46 AM > > Subject: [amsat-bb] TubeSats - DIY Satellites > > > > http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128740683 > > > > http://www.interorbital.com/TubeSat_1.htm > > > > Rich, N8UX. > > ___ > Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

On a sort-of-positive note, Interorbital Systems' website shows that they currently have an open CubeSat slot on their December launch, at only $12,500. Unfortunately, it is only to a 310 kM orbit. A future launch will carry payloads to 600 kM. No price listed for that launch yet...

Could we have "something" sitting on the shelf for such sort notice occurrences? I am not privy to the exhaustive red tape that must surely exist. I am most likely over simplifying the process.

I watched the Interorbital presentation at Cal Poly at the weekend. (via the web and not in person sadly) I thought I saw $25,000 on a multiple cubesat launch to 620km. Perhaps they have an eye on the QB50 (50 cubesats to 320km) and others waiting to fly. It's a big market. They are starting testing this fall with some sub orbital flights. First orbital flight listed for March 2011 but that may slip depending on the tests. The presentation is probably available via u-stream / or cubesat.com Thanks David G0MRF ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

I'm trying to find a concise report of the conference, or a better video recording host website.. or better still, did anyone from Amsat attend the conference, and would you share your conference experience please? With regard to Interorbital Systems, did they give a presentation at this conference?

[amsat-bb] Re: TubeSats - DIY Satellites
Makes sense... twice as high, twice the price. Not a bad deal for a ride to 600 kM, though. IF their N45 launcher actually gets off the ground.
