Hi,
At the moment, it is not expected that the satellite control team will do
this.
The satellite is controlled from the American University of Sharjah in
the UAE, and it is unlikely that the staff and students will be
around, unless a contingency arises which needs immediate action.
Also note the weekend over there is Friday and Saturday, and Sunday is
a workday.

NASA issued a request for information (RFI) Feb. 15 for a proposed
spacecraft called the NASA Science/Technology Platform Satellite, or NSTP-Sat.
The RFI was the first time NASA had publicly discussed such a mission.
The RFI period ends on March 17.

After the delight of BY70-1, I was wondering if any practical two-way
communication was possible with CAS-2T?
Any clever schemes to work around the downlink issues? Anybody up to pound
out some MCW? ... could just mash it out with the push to talk switch -- my
morse is so bad that the ARRL officially recognizes "that gibberish must be
coming from Todd" as a valid QSO.

OK,
I've edited the AMSAT names file as Alan indicated, restarted the program
and still it is not showing the frequencies.
Here is what I have in the files:
AMSAT names:
42017 17008XX Nayif-1
42017 17008BX EO-88
Doppler:
NAYIF-1,145975,435030,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,CW/SSB Transponder
EO-88,145975,435030,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,CW/SSB Transponder
Now, I figure this works for all the other birds but not this one. Any ideas
would be appreciated>

Rick,
Capitalization is important in this case. NAYIF-1 doesn?t match Nayif-1.
You need to edit the DOPPLER.SQF file to spell Nayif with upper and lower
case letters. Ask me how I know that. ;-)

Making some progress....0335 UTC pass, I decoded the PSK31 beacon AND
decoded W5SAT calling CQ.
However, I failed to see my signal on the downlink again. I am using 65
watts and an inverted L for 160 that tunes for 10 meters. The thing should
be working, I worked several EU stations on 40 meters with just 5 watts
tonight, so it's radiating SOMETHING.
I am sending PSK31 with DopplerPSK and then trying with FLDIGI, so it's not
the software.
I am getting power out per the wattmeter, so it's not the transmit setup.
EZNEC shows a mostly cloud-warmer type of pattern for the inverted L on 10
meters, with some small gain at lower angles.
Maybe I will try the off-center-fed dipole next. What are other folks using
for antennas on the uplink?

Message to US Educators
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
Contact Opportunity
Call for Proposals
Proposal Window February 15 ? April 15, 2017
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew
member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held
between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits
will
determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact
opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large
numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education
plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2017. Proposal information
and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
The Opportunity
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur
Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and
classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the
opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and
work in
space and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also
will have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight and
the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must
demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of the
radio contact.
Amateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space agencies in
Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational opportunity by
providing the equipment and operational support to enable direct
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world via
Amateur Radio.
In the US, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation) and ARRL (American Radio Relay League) in partnership with
NASA and
CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space).
More Information
Interested parties can find more information about the program at
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.
For proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal
guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Sessions go

Please direct any questions to ariss@xxxx.xxx.
