Ah, but which version of STSPLUS is it ? The damned thing gets updated
two or three times a year, or so it seems. The version numbering is pretty
unusual as well. For what it's worth, the latest I've seen is 9353, which
if I recall the method makes it the last week in '93. 9333 was the last
*major* upgrade.
Regards
Ian.

Sorry. Did I say traksat? I actually meant Satra version 1.0. That's the
problem with all these sat tracking progs what to call them.
I have played with tracksat 3 and I found it hard to drive.

I have been asked to look out for a program called SATNODE for the PC, which
acts as a gateway to the packet satellites and allows unattended operation

Space Shuttle Radio Frequency List
By Rich Weinkauf, Farmington, MI
STSFRQ03.TXT
A Space Shuttle mission requires the coordination of thousands of individuals;
both on the planet, and off. This coordination is directed largely by radio
communications, both voice and digital; and supplies the communications
enthusiast with several opportunities for listening. The following list
includes radio voice communication frequencies reported to be in use during a
typical Space Shuttle mission. This list has been gleaned from many sources,
including personal communications, messages on Prodigy, Amateur Radio Bulletin
Boards, Space and Astronomy Bulletin Boards, and the NASA Spacelink BBS. All
of it is subject to change without notice, and reception is dependent on your
location and the propagation conditions.
I can be reached for additions, deletions, and corrections to this list via:

2250.000 wide band FM with main engine analog
telemetry during launch, or TV during orbit

Note from Ron Parise, WA4SIR, on above S-band frequencies: "The S-band
system is one of the primary orbiter downlink bands. The voice channels
are digital slope delta modulation and are MUX'ed in with the rest of
orbiter telemetry very difficult to copy. Much of the downlink TV is
S-band wide band FM and should be easy to copy.
The Ku-band system is used in conjunction with the TDRS satellites, and
is used more heavily during Spacelab flight than others. The data rate
is very high digital (50 Mbits/sec), and will be nearly impossible for
you to demodulate and decommutate in your basement. Nevertheless, the
shuttle transmits on 15.003 GHz. These transmission are directed toward
the TDRS satellite with a high gain antenna, and cannot be copied from
the gound.
The UHF frequencies are fun to listen to, but are not heavily used except
during EVA's. You will almost always hear some activity on them during a
mission, just be patient."
