WD0E Attends JAMSAT Symposium

Jim White (WD0E) reports the annual JAMSAT Symposium was held in Tokyo on
27-MAR-94.  Jim attended representing AMSAT-NA and presented a paper on
MICROSAT construction and operation, the Deep Space Exploration Society
(DSES) radio telescope project at Table Mountain near Boulder, CO, and the
high altitude balloon experiments of the Edge of Space Sciences (EOSS)
group.  The day long symposium included presentations on the construction
and use of quadrifiler helices, a version of the MICROSAT ground station
software implemented in Japanese, and several presentations regarding
Phase-3D.  One of the Phase-3D presentations included a live demonstration
of the prototype camera and electronics for the SCOPE project that will
provide imaging capability aboard the satellite.  Jim reports he was
particularly impressed by the progress on SCOPE and the demonstration of
the capabilities of the camera and electronics.  Presenters included
JA2PKI, JR1SWB, JM3MAJ, JA0FKM and JH7CKF.  An award was presented to Sumio
Nakane (JH3BJN) for achieving satellite DXCC using only a four element
antenna for 2M, a most impressive accomplishment.

The evening prior to the Symposium, JAMSAT held a celebration of their 20th
anniversary.  Jim reports the hospitality was outstanding with great
international camaraderie and a good deal of discussion about satellite
construction and operation.  Jim said he was particularly grateful for the
hospitality and translation services of Sumio Nakane, Miki Nakayama, and
Tak Okamoto.

AMSAT-NA congratulates JAMSAT on its 20th anniversary!

Look For The AMSAT Booth At The Dayton Hamvention Next Weekend

For those of you who are going to be at Dayton, we look forward to seeing
you.  The AMSAT booth is in the same spot as last year, 445 - 448.

AMSAT will be holding three sessions during the weekend.  On Friday at 1:00
PM in Room 1, "Getting Stated on the Satellites, Including the Packet Birds."
This will be moderated by Keith Baker KB1SF.  There are two sessions on
Saturday, both in Room 5.  AT 1:00 PM the SAREX session features several
astronauts plus Roy Neal (K6DUE).  And at 3:15 PM, learn all about the
progress on Phase 3D from Dick Jansson WD4FAB, our VP for Engineering.
Dick is working very closely with all the various individuals and groups
participating in the construction of the satellite and will bring us up to
date on how everything is going.

This being the 10th anniversary of the first "Ham in Space" and the 25th
anniversary of the founding of AMSAT, this is a very big year for us.  Try
to participate in as many of the AMSAT-related functions as you can.

We will be holding an informal dinner and get-together Friday evening. Come
by the booth after the Hamvention opens Friday noon and sign up.  The
restaurant can accommodate only those who sign up.

Communications

The Upper Valley Radio Club in Fairborn has graciously invited us to use
their two repeaters while we are in the area.  The 2 meter one is on 145.41
(-) and the 70 cm machine is on 442.375 (+).  Both are located on a water
tower not more than a half mile from the Homewood Suites, where many
AMSATers are staying.  So, handi-talkies on low power ought to work nicely
in that area.

Of course, DARA will run their usual talk-in on 146.94 (-).  If you can get
through the mob, they do a good job of providing directions.

Around the Hara Arena, and at other locations where we need to communicate
:via simplex, AMSAT will use 145.55.  I am sure that it won't be clear, but
no 2 meter frequency is clear during Hamvention.  For those with 70 cm HTs,
I suggest 438.00.  Mine seems to work there.

I understand from Keith Baker KB1SF, who lives in the Dayton area, that
road construction in and around Dayton is particularly troublesome this
year.  I-75  is reported to be torn up, and down to one lane; BOTH north
and south of Needmore Road (the main way to the arena).  Also, I-675 north
and south are torn up, and down to one lane, in spots.  This is the route
from I-70 down to the Hoomwood Suites in Fairborn, where most of us will be
staying.  So, wherever you're going around Dayton, give yourself plenty of
time.

Travel safely and we'll see you next week!

73,

KO-23: Working well.  [WH6I]

KO-25: Working well.  WH6I reported in last week's KO-25 status report that
number of new images can be found on KO-25 but since the wide angle images
are in a new format that so far has not been decoded.  Well since then he
reports that the QUIKDISP.EXE is available on KO-25's BBS for downloading.
This is a program that will display the new wide angle views from KO-25.
WH6I is in the processing downloading several earth image files.  He says
that the file KAIW0008 appears to be on the adriatic coast of the former
Yugoslavia.  [WH6I]

AO-16: Working well.  [WH6I]

DO-17: ZR5JRS finds this to be an excellent satellite to monitor as he
       can receives DOVE with 599 signals when it is at an elevation of
       only 7 degrees.  To date, however, he has not heard the digital
       voice.  [ZRTJRS]

UO-11: This satellite is working well with clear, readable RTTY. The
       digital voice also is received well from ZR5JRS's QTH.  ZR5JRS
      observes that he has to wait until UO-11 is at lest 25 degrees
       above the horizon for him to receive a good copy on UO-11.  He
      notes that this is in contrast to the other OSCAR satellites
      which he copies almost immediately after they rise above his
      horizon.  His only theory about this is that perhaps UO-11
      runs considerably less power than the other OSCARs.  [ZR5JRS]

MIR: Over the last 4 days, the MIR BBS has been switched off. This is
     possibly to prevent clashes with the STS-59 SAREX mission.  However,
     before this, it was relatively easy to access the MIR BBS even using
    2 watts of power at an elevation of 18 degrees with a "Slim Jim"
     antenna.  There have been no reports of voice contacts in South Africa
     that ZS5JRS is aware of over the last 14 months.
     [ZR5JRS @ ZR5GQ.NTL.ZAF.AF]

RS-10/11: Of all the OSCAR satellites, this satellite is ZR5JRS's favorite
          one to work.  His station consists of a 10W Yaesu FT-480R with a
          "Slim Jim" antenna for the uplink, and an old Yaesu FTDX 400 with
          a long wire antenna for the downlink.  From his QTH in Durban,
          grid square KG59MG, he can work stations in Cape Town, which is
          about 1300 KM away and stations Johannesburg which is about 500
          KM away at the same time for about 3 to 4 minutes.  JR5JRS has
          also found that the downlink is about half as strong as the
          beacon signal.  He also uses the beacon signal to gauge cond-
          itions on the 10M band, sometimes hearing the beacon up to 10
          minutes after the satellite has gone below the horizon!

Subject: High Altitude Balloon Flight in Denver Postponed
To: [e-mail]

Forwarded from Ground Station Ops of EOSS:

The flight of EOSS 16 has been delayed until May 1, 1994.

Due to technical difficulties with the Ozone detection experiment being
conducted by Ranum High School, one week is needed to work out the problems.

All payload frequencies will remain the same.

Here is the updated fact sheet.

---------------------------
FLIGHT PROFILE FOR EOSS 16
---------------------------

LAUNCH DATE :            May 1, 1994
LAUNCH SITE:             Thunder Ridge Middle School
                         Picadilly and Smokey Hill Rd.
                         Aurora, Colorado, USA
LAUNCH SITE COORDINATES:  39.62305 deg North
                         104.73544 deg West
LAUNCH TIME :            9:00 a.m.
FLIGHT EXPERIMENT:       Ozone detection at various levels of the atmosphere
EXPERIMENT CONDUCTED BY: Ranum High School, Longmont Colorado.
PROJECT INTEGRATOR:      Andy Kellett/ N0SIS
SECONDARY EXPERIMENT:    Testing of the APRS.
                         (Automatic Position Reporting System)


FREQUENCIES:

Shuttle I:
Telemetry      144.340 MHz
Beacon         147.555
ATV            426.250


HF Net:
7230khz Phone + or - QRM

Foxhunters:
CRA Repeaters  147.225 MHz


PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT:
There are several experiments that are going to be run on the flight of
EOSS 16.

1. The primary experiment will be the detection of Ozone at various
   altitudes above Colorado. This experiment will be conducted by Random
   High School. The students are interested in the Ozone concentration and
   may do a follow up flight to see if the levels have changed. They will be
   graphing the results and presenting them to the school science fair.

2. The second experiment will be the use of APRS (Automatic Position Reporting
   System). The controller will be sending down text strings that will
   include latitude and longitude in them which should plot the position of
   the payload on any APRS equipped packet station within the footprint of
   the balloon as the payload travels the skies of Colorado. The typical
   footprint extends to ALL neighboring states. So, if you are in southern
   Wyoming, south western Nebraska, western Kansas, western Oklahoma,
   northern Texas, parts of New Mexico and Arizona and Eastern Utah, look
   into tracking the progress of EOSS-16 with APRS. Of interest, noting the
   difference between Loran-C, which is used on Shuttle I, and GPS, which is
   used on Shuttle II.


In the Denver Metro Area check on my BBS, N0VSA-1 and find out where to get
the APRS program.

Notes
1.  NASA Catalog Number is also known as NORAD or U.S. Space Command object
    number.
2.  No orbital plane position = satellite no longer operational.
3.  Clock:  Rb = Rubidium; Cs = Cesium
4.  S/A had been enabled on Block II satellites during part of 1990; S/A off
    between about 10 August 1990 and 1 July 1991 due to Gulf crisis; standard
    level re-implemented on 15 November 1991.  Currently, PRN15 and PRN20 appear
    to have little or no S/A imposed.
5.  Anti-spoofing was activated on 94-01-31 at 00:00 UT on all Block II
    satellites. (ref. NANU 050-94042)
6.  PRN number of SVN32 was changed from 32 to 01 on 93-01-28.
7.  PRN03 was set unhealthy on 94-02-27 at 03:20 UT.  It was unusable beginning
    at 02:33 UT on 94-02-27 and remained so until set permanently unusable on
    94-04-13 beginning at 15:00 UT due to navigation payload shut down. (ref.
    NANU 083-94059 and NANU 129-94104)
8.  The decommissioning date for PRN06/SVN03 is the date of termination of
    operations of this satellite (ref. USNO) and is about 3 weeks later than the
    date GPSIC gives for "deactivation".
9.  The PRN06/SVN36 launch included the SEDS-2 tether experiment on the Delta II
    rocket body (object 23028, 1994-016B).  The tether was broken by an impact
    on 94-03-15.  The SEDS-2 end mass subsatellite and about half of the tether
    re-entered within a few orbits.  About 11 km of tether remains attached to
    the Delta rocket which is still in orbit. (ref. Jonathan McDowell)
10. PRN13 was set unhealthy on 94-02-27 at 13:02 UT and will remain unusable
    until further notice due to "end of life testing." (ref. NANU 083-94059 and
    USNO).  It is unlikely that PRN13 will return to service. (ref. USNO)
11. The degraded C/A-code performance of PRN19 was corrected effective 94-01-04
    at 00:00 UT. (ref. NANU 343-93294, NANU 396-93337, and NANU 006-94010)  The
    correction involved a switch to redundant systems on the satellite. (ref.
    Aviation Week & Space Technology)

I routinely access RS-10/11 with 10W and a Diamond X-200 vertical.

29MHz rcv is a dipole.

To: [e-mail]

I am trying to put together a list of frequencies for the low orbit
weather satelites. Such as NOAA Meteosat etc. If anyone has freqs please post
them to me and I will compile a 'definitive list' and post it on the net.
It might also be an idea to state what mode (apt or hrpt) is transmitted on
any frequencies listed.

Since the VHF list out of Stanford is now up as a LISTSERV consider this
a dead issue IMHO...I'm not going to do anthing else with it

THE LATEST APRS is posted on 410-280-2503 BBS.  After version 3.11 I will
also always post a file similar to: 400to401.zip which will contain only the
files that changed in the lastest release.
------------------------------

Anyone interested is welcome to come to the launch site and experince what a
EOSS flight is like. We will have the ground station computer set up and
also have TV monitors set up so you can see the flight from the perspective
of the payload's onboard B&W tv camera. After the payload has been launched
there will plenty of people around to answer any questions that you may
have.

Hope to see you there!!
