Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for September 15, 2023
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps
in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical
model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly
updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin
files are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if
new high interest satellites are launched. More information may be found at
https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/
This week there are no additions or deletions to the weekly AMSAT TLE
distribution.

Comments on making general contacts
I have been seeing a lot of traffic on Facebook and I suspect on other
social media sites with people asking why they are not hearing the crew
make general contacts. First off the crew is very busy on the ISS and they
simply may not have the time to just pick up the microphone and talk.
Also, one needs to be aware of their normal daily schedule. I have listed
below the constraints that we at ARISS have to follow in order to schedule
the school contacts. Hopefully this will help you better schedule your
opportunities.
Typical daily schedule
Wakeup to Workday startñ.5 hours
Workday start to Workday end hours
Workday end to Sleepò hours
Sleep to wakeupø.5 hours
The crew's usual waking period is 0730 - 1930 UTC. The most common times to
find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking
and before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free
most of the weekend, as well.
SSTV events are not that often. So please check out https://www.ariss.org/
for the latest information or watch for the ARISS announcements.
And donâ€Öt forget that the packet system is active.
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
