I acquired the FM downlink signal at 0600 UTC and heard part of the
diagnostic message and the ID. The signal initially wasn't clear but it
improved by 0602 with little noise, strength of at least S8, and no fading.
At 0602, the following was transmitted after the ID and greeting:

Hi all,
We understand that the Edusat spacecraft from Italy has been successfully
launched today from Yasny on a DNEPR launcher.
It has apparently been granted an experimental licence by the Italian
Telecommunications Ministry to transmit on 435.750MHz but this frequency was
not submitted

Hi Graham, G3VZV
Edusat has been built by students of the university La Sapienza in Roma
Italy but since no technical informations has been released and it transmit
only telemetry in GMSK when over Roma it seems that Edusat is not of
interest for the satellite amateur community but without the
Thanks Mike and Roland, I was curious about the relative value that our
telemetry had to the project (i.e. was there a deluge, not enough, just
right).
A question for all, for a few days now my ARISSatTLM has been reporting
the Kursk as being (I believe, I'm not at home to check right now)
G'day Jerry,
I don't think there's anything wrong with your ARISSatTLM, as I've
only been getting KURSK-944s since the 13th.
My last 'proper good' experiment frame was:
2011/08/11-08:12:48 Received Kursk frame 2 with MET=650105 len=516.
Satellite MET around then was:

Hi Jerry,
... let me explain what the graph means.
All these data are based on the STP telemetry files from the AMSAT-FTP server
(Kursk / Spacecraft). Every telemetry frame exist only once.
So the graph represents NOT really the amount of submitted frames per sender.
If 10 stations listen to

No, it can hear a 5W HT (when close), but the problem is that it's battery

support one or two successful packets. But any other
Hi Graham,
Hope you are enjoying your trip. I also have heard breaks in
transmission, but believed this was normal. (I have only begun
properly monitoring the sat last night due to the track taking it

it was off - only now is it
Bob is absolutely right, the people beaconing on 145.825 are ruining it for
others. Which reminds me of the spanking I got for using FM on the SSB birds, I
am sure there would be a lot bigger stink if people were affecting those
satellites and not just the poor forgotten and obviously abused
Hi all,
According to my logs the last Kursk frame I received on the 0405UT pass on 12
August was 720206. The first Kursk frame on the 12 August 2035UT pass was 944.
The interesting thing was that it apparently treated this as a valid frame.
i.e it accumulated and combined all five parts.
Hi Phil,
This is a great reminder. Thus far, my data has been collected with the
TS-2000x using a mid setting for AGC; and with the HDSDR software set to AGC
Med when using/playing back Funcube Dongle data. I've set both to OFF now,
since it's possible

out, this is where Bob Twiggs is

Hi Mark, Phil,
That's interesting. I have collected all my passes on the TS2000 with the
AGC on and set to the longest setting. This is mainly because I often
record the signal level every 0.5 seconds during a pass which requires the
AGC to be on and the longest setting irons out any short
Now that the ARISSat clock seems to be resetting on a regular basis I am
wondering how this will affect the TLM and Kursk data which I am capturing and
uploading. It seems to me that the only way of collating the data is by the
time of upload to telemetry.arissattlm.org

I am portable in Alabama and do not have access to my past e-mail. A post a

the conversation coming from the ISS. Would someone repost

What is the official AMSAT/ARISSat1 team finding on the ARISSat-1 70cm

receive antenna on the bottom of the satellite? I have not heard updated news
about that
since the jettison occurred.
Was it the dummy load or was the dummy load taken

Alan,
The last KURSK segment I received were 741858 on the 12th August.
My educated guess is that because ARISSAT1 is resetting during every eclipse
the KURSK experiment is not able to obtain the MET and use it as a file name.
Hence it is defaulting to 944.

Hi Colin,
Yes, the other interesting thing is that recently ARISsat has been coming out
of eclipse not too long before the start of my morning passes. On those
occasions I have received anything up to 19 consecutive data frames (or about 3
minutes) before I receive the first Kursk frame.
