Predicting ISS out that far is more challenging than the other satellites as
the ISS has frequent orbital maneuvers that most of the other amateur
satellites do not. The significant factor affecting the other static amateur
satellites is variations in orbital drag due to solar activity. ISS is m
That's hard to do. ISS periodically reboosts and that changes the orbit. If you
use today's keps you could for example be off by several minutes or even more.
If you have NOVA or SatPC32 you can do an update the week before and be close
assuming no reboost.

The Radio Club of America announced this week that William A. Tynan, W3XO,
is the recipient of its 2012 Barry Goldwater Amateur Radio Award. The award
recognizes Bill's lifelong service to the public through amateur radio. It
will be presented at the club's annual awards banquet in New York on
to my many sat friends...Bob is finally back on satellites after a ridiculous
four months, over the top, make xyl happy, antenna/tower rebuild. The details
of which would take too long for this post. Finally got computer controlling
antennas/910. Frank (FEG) I just heard you on FO-29.

Well it appears there are quite a few folks that need en23 and some that need
en33 so here is the plan.
Saturday September 22nd I will work these satellite passes.

Now these passes overlap a little so I will do my best to work both birds. If
you do
Sorry the second fo29 pass is at 1943 not 1843.

JAXA plans to deploy five cubesats from ISS at the early
morning on 28th September. The first two satellites (RAIKO,
WE WISH) are deployed around 00:10 - 00:20 JST by manually.
The second three satellites (FITSAT-1, NanoRacks,and TechEdSat)
are deployed around 01:30 - 01:40 JST by remote. JST(Japa
Thanks, Domenico. Comparing the two-line keps with the AMSAT format has
been informative. Unfortunately the AMSAT data omits the two fields
that I'm looking for confirmation on.

Amsat is living in a brave new world where launches are fully commercialized
and nobody gets a free ride anymore. We will either adapt to that paradigm
shift or we will cease to exist.
Things were a lot different in the 1960's and 70's. In 1961 an Air Force
