Not only that the Qatari have donated space and power.
Qatar also has taken over the costs for the transponder, which is built
by Mitsubishi Electronics, as the satellite. We really wanted to build
the transponder, but for the first P4 project, Qatar and we decided to
build the transponder by Meco according to our specifications, otherwise
there would have been a problem with certification, integration and safety.
Hopefully for the next Qatari Geo Sat, if the project is successful, we
can build the next transponder itself.

As an alternative, Pass can control SDR using http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe .
After starting pass.exe, run HDSDR, easily found on Internet.
On HDSDR Options select DDE to SDR, and there select Orbitron. (Pass behaves
as Orbitron)
Then when you click on Pass on Falconsat its frequency is sent to SDR
following Dopplers.

Hello
I have been sitting watching the last satellite pass of Falconsat-3
Direwolf was dumping packets like APRS-IS does due to dupes
So UNLESS we modify dire wolf and run an Independent server
We will never truly know the packets received by a Satellite Ground Station.
I am willing to try a multi tread TCP server
But until dire wolf does dupe checking we are not going to get anywhere

Hello Andrew,
There is no need for user to update Keps on Pass http://amsat.org.ar/pass
Pass updates Keps 8 times a day from Celestrak, Spacetrack & Amsat-NA,
using last TLEs available.
Keps in use can be seen or downloaded at http://amsat.org.ar/keps.txt

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
QIKCOM-1 should deploy from the ISS Friday at 0920 UTC or so attached to
the SIMPL spacecraft. It is an APRS digipeater just like the ISS and also
supports the same ARISS alias as the ISS digipeater. Or you can be
specific via QIKCOM-1 callsign. At 4 Watts, it will be 10 dB stronger than
PSAT(84) and about the same power level as ISS and should be easy to
receive on the 145.825 downlink.
We ask all potential IGates to check your ground stations and make sure
they are ready to IGate packets during those initial orbits from all over
the globe. If you do not have an IGate, just capture packets and email
them to qikcom1@xxxxx.xxx until we see that everything is making it to the
APRS-IS.
The downlink should be available on the original http://pcsat.findu.com and
also on http://59.167.159.165/satreporter/index2.html
Being released from ISS, QIKCOM-1 will of course have the same Elements and
tracking info as ISS until they begin to separate. This means passes over
the USA every 90 minutes beginning at 0630 EDT in the Southeast and ending
after 1440 PDT in Southern California.
Web page: http://aprs.org/qikcom-1.html
As usual, QIKCOM-1 is not intended for UNATTENDED BEACONS. It is designed
for Live Operations and experiments only.
For the initial passes, do not attempt 2-way contacts. Just set your
STATUS text to indicate your TX power and antenna type and transmit at 1m
intervals ATTENDED as described on the web page during these first few
orbits. So we can get sttistices on uplink quality.

PSAT has entered safe mode with the digipeater OFF. It will show the
PSAT-1 callsign until sun angles improve..
QIKCOM-1 might deploy from the ISS this coming Friday. It will simply
digipeat just like the ISS using the same ARISS alias as the ISS
digipeater. It will be 10 dB stronger than PSAT and about the same power
level as ISS and should be easy to receive. All are on the 145.825
downlink. It should also digipeat on its own callsign QIKCOM-1 if you want
to hit it specifically.
We ask all potential IGates to check your ground stations and make sure
they are ready to IGate packets during those initial orbits from all over
the globe. If you do not have an IGate, just capture packets and hold them
until we see if any are missing from the APRS-IS. Downlinks should be
available on the original http://pcsat.findu.com and also on
http://59.167.159.165/satreporter/index2.html

Please use the ALIAS of APRSAT on your uplinks instead of ARISS so that you

QIKCOM-1 should deploy from the ISS Friday at 0920 UTC or so attached to
the SIMPL spacecraft. It is an APRS digipeater just like the ISS but
responds to the APRSAT path (and also to ARISS). So use the APRSAT path
for these early tests to only trigger QIKCOM-1 to digipeat. At 4 Watts, it

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico "Enzo Ferrari", Borgo A
Mozzano, Italy and Liceo Statale "G. D. Cassini", Sanremo, Italy on 28 Oct.
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:13 UTC. The duration of
the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and IQ5LU and IQ1SM. The contact should be audible over
Italy and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the
145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in Italian. HAM
TV is planned for this contact.
"Enzo Ferrari" Institute is located in Borgo a Mozzano, Lucca and is one by
four schools of "Barga" Institute in Lucca, Tuscany.
"Enzo Ferrari" Institute is a secondary technical chemical school where
teaching is focused on scientific subjects: math, physics, chemistry,
biology and natural sciences.
The ARISS Chemistry space project will be an essential part of the School
Curriculum - POF- (Annual educational plan) of the next school years and
will involve students of the first and second classes, for the two year
period 2016 - 2018 (10 classes, 200 students, 14-19).
The High School G.D. Cassini of Sanremo is part of the higher education
school system of the Italian Republic and is located in Sanremo. The
Institute is named the scientist "Gian Domenico Cassini", as well as the
Cassini-Huygens Mission. Our School is considered to be one of the most
ancient Italian higher education schools, its foundation being established
in 1859 during the Savoy monarchy. Three study specializations are
available: classical, scientific and linguistic. At the end of this type of
school, lasting five years, students who pass the State Exam can access any
university departments. (1100 students, 14-19).
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Quanto tempo ? stato necessario per abituarsi alla mancanza di gravit??
2. Quale ? la vostra ultima scoperta scientifica?
3. Che tipo di regime alimentare ? necessario seguire nello spazio?
4. Ci sono situazioni di pericolo quotidiane sull'ISS?
5. C'? qualcosa del suo addestramento ad astronauta che le ? tornato utile
nella vita di tutti i giorni?
6. Avete mai rischiato la vita lavorando sull'ISS a causa di malfunzionamenti
tecnici?
7. Quale parte del percorso di formazione si ? resa maggiormente utile per la
sua carriera?
8. Che cosa provi durante il lancio?
9. Come ? cambiata l'ISS nel corso delle sue missioni?
10. Cosa si fa durante il viaggio di 6 ore per arrivare sull'ISS?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students ?
ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is November 15, 2017
September 18, 2017: The Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals from U.S. schools,
museums, science centers and community youth organizations to host
radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between July 1 and December 31, 2018.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with oppor-
tunities to learn about space technologies and space communications
through the exploration of Amateur Radio. The program provides
learning opportunities by connecting students to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) through a partnership between
NASA, the American Radio Relay League, the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation and other Amateur Radio organizations and worldwide
space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students worldwide,
to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio.
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the
ARISS program inspires an interest in STEM subjects and in STEM
careers. Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in
the program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encourag-
ing student exploration, discussion, and participation, and 78
percent said that ARISS was effective in stimulating student
interest in STEM.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers
of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications,
wireless technology, science research conducted on the space
station, what it is like to work in space, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk
directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions.
ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio
groups who can assist with equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017.
The ARISS website has additional details on expectations, proposal
guidelines, and the proposal form. See:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html
****************************************************************************
