John K8YSE was my first satellite contact also and I am betting for many
others. At the time I wasn't aware of the site with the recordings. It was an
early morning pass and by the time I went to work and checked email he had
looked up my address and sent me a link to the recording. Way beyond t

According to Anthony AA2TX's presentation/research ...
-The battery must be initially charged to power up ARISSat-1
-The battery must have a charge for the initial 15 minutes of activation
-ARISSat-1 will power down during eclipse if battery fails
-ARISSat-1 can operate without battery in sunlight
I know this is a bit off topic I am finally ready to make a dipole or two.

Hi Bob & all..
As far as I can see, the main reason it needs power is to allow the
transmitter to stay in the OFF state during deployment and for 15
minutes after release, once it switches ON the battery can be depleted
without any adverse effects.

I guess in RSC-Energia's world, "full responsibility for the satellite"
translates to "we can do whatever the *%^$# we want with it"...
Now that they hijacked & broke it, they'll probably toss it as space junk.

David XE3DX recently posted that he will be operating from
EK08, EK09, EK18 and EK19 from April 17th to the 30th.
These are grids that you don't hear very often so if you

This morning's AO-51 pass at 1050z was a little exciting.
Dear Friends,
There has been a great deal of speculation on the amsat-bb about
the Russian battery on ARISSat-1 having failed. Be aware that this
is nothing other than idle speculation. There has been no
information from RSC-Energia to support this.
I believe the mis-information comes from a repo

starting with SO-50 at 1345 and going till AO-51 at 2120.
Hope to work you then. I'll post other info on my QRZ.com.

It really does not instill much confidence in partnering with
RSC-Energia for any future satellites. I will withhold judgement of
individuals involved till we learn more. I certainly am not in favor
of spending Amsat funds on such a venture, again.
But then I no longer have a voice in the mat

Built and launched a spacecraft which has sent signals back to earth
