[amsat-bb] Triton-1
Anyone have any updated news on this one? I haven't heard much since launch. I'm curious how the primary mission is going. 73, Drew KO4MA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Triton-1 update #5 24 November 2013 22:15UTC - Triton-1 AX.25 beacon decoding information
Hi all, We have put an AX.25 mode beacon content decoding document on the Triton-1 amateur radio information page. This document contains the conversions from raw nominal mode beacon telemetry to engineering values.

[amsat-bb] Triton-1 update #4 23 November 2013 08:30UTC - new Triton1 TLE available
Hi all, New TLE's for the DNEPR launch have been issued, we believe that Triton-1 is object M. 2013-066M 1 39427U 13066M 13326.98436826 -.2391 0-0 -39688-3 0 10 2 39427 97.7901 39.5474 0120424 185.3601 174.6374 14.64539763 201 Meanwhile, Triton-1 is still in nominal mode, transmitting AX.25 BPSK on 145.822MHz. Reception reports, especially in case the satellite is in safe mode (transmitting the safe mode CW beacon) are welcome! 73 on behalf of the team, Wouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Hi Wouter, Heard AX25 on 145.822MHz + Doppler, this Saturday November 23 at 09:60 UTC in Brussels. Congrats! 73, Gaston Bertels - ON4WF ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Triton-1 update #2 21 November 2013 09:30UTC - Triton1 HEARD and healthy!
Hi all, Signals from Triton-1 have been heard during the first pass over The Netherlands at 08:46UTC! :) The satellite is in safe mode, as expected, transmitting its safe mode CW beacon. All safe mode telemetry looks nominal at this stage. Signals from both radios have been heard, the downlink frequencies are a couple of kHz above their nominal frequencies due to radio temperature which is slightly low. Reception reports are welcome, please see http://www.isispace.nl/HAM/ for information on how to submit reports. We will keep you posted!

[amsat-bb] Triton-1 update #3 21 November 2013 14:00UTC - Triton1 now in nominal idle mode
Hi all, We have commanded Triton-1 to go to nominal mode, with the radio transmitting idle flags in between beacon transmissions. So the downlink will be on continuously unless it switches to safe mode. Current downlink radio: TRXUV-0 Current downlink frequency: 145.822MHz AX.25 BPSK (so slightly off the nominal frequency of 145.815MHz) Best 73 on behalf of the team, Wouter Jan Ubbels PE4WJ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Triton-1 update #1 19 November 2013 15:00UTC
Hi all, As you may be aware, on the 21st of November, 07:10UTC a DNEPR launch vehicle will lift off from Yasny Launch Base, Russia, carrying a number of payloads. One of them is the Triton-1 satellite, a 3-unit cubesat developed by ISIS - Innovative Solutions In Space from Delft, The Netherlands. Note that the Triton-2 satellite is not on this launch, its launch date is to be determined at this stage. Triton-2 will be similar to Triton-1, the main difference being that it will also carry an S-band downlink and associated mode US transponder. Triton-1 is a satellite which will serve as a test bed for an experimental receiver, designed to receive Automatic Identification System (AIS) messages from ships. During the first three months after launch, the plan is to characterize the AIS receiver in orbit. After approximately three months of experimenting, we intend to activate a single channel FM to DSB mode UV transponder (similar to AO-16's transponder). The exact transponder uplink frequency in the 435-438MHz band will be announced at that time as well. We have created an amateur radio information page which contains all information related to its downlink signals at: http://www.isispace.nl/HAM/ We intend to publish regular status updates on the AMSAT-BB as well as on the aforementioned page.
