Dear amsat members.
I have some question about receiving beacon signal from ISS.
Could you please help me?
1. What is the difference between ISS, ARISS and ZARYA? Is these
different satellites or 1 satellite with 3 name?
2. Which of them is easier to receive beacon from them?
3.
I've seen several comments and reports stating the deployment was
against the ISS velocity vector. Why do I see arissat out ahead of ISS
by a few hundred miles? Keps are current, and 3 tracking programs are in
agreement. Can someone provide enlightenment? tnx...:-)
Rich, N8UX.
With the speed reduction, the satellite drops to a lower orbit. The lower
the orbit, the less time it takes to go around the Earth, hence it passes
satellites in higher orbits.
