Hello All,
As one have who has been enjoying collecting telemetry and contributing to
the Fox-1D effort (although minimally) I have noticed what seems to be a big
signal near the Fox-1D telemetry signal, especially often early in the pass.
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this as well? I am assuming it is one
of the other 31 satellites that were released around the same time as our
bird was but that is just a guess. I am also guessing that the signal looks
like video, but again I have no basis on which to base that. Thanks to all
who have contributed to this awesome bird and its success and congratulations.
Anybody know what this is? It seems to be at about 145.8300.
Thanks,
Fred Castello - KF4FC

These are pretty cool and I hope to attempt to copy some at some point.
Will the picture experiment be running / accessible on a continuous basis
or a schedule?

Fred,
I believe that wide signal is CAS-4B telemetry? I know it's been
mentioned on twitter several times.

Have been trying to decode the 435.525 MHz beacons from PicSat without
success. The modulation is described as "GMSK modulation with G3RUH
scrambling". I'm assuming the baud rate is 9600. Normally I use UZ7HO's
High-Speed SoundModem for telemetry reception.

Despite the documentation, PicSat beacons so far have been 1k2 BPSK.
There is a 1k2 BPSK software modem in:
http://uz7.ho.ua/modem_beta/other-versions.zip
... and the demod on that would be USB. Of course the bandwidth &
centering of the audio output is critical for this scheme; what works well
for me is to output the audio (I use HDSDR into VB Audio virtual cable) at
4 KHz with the signal centered on the 2000 Hz mark. If you match that 2000
Hz center on the 1k2 BPSK software modem screen, it decodes very nicely.

Hello Folks,
Does anyone by chance have a working L-band module for the good old TS-790a?
It would really come in handy for command purposes with our Fox
satellites. I'm kicking myself for selling the one I did have...sigh.
Please contact me directly if you have one you'd sell.

I have used the the software modem under G3RUH-BPSK folder. The audio is fed
from an Icom 821H using a Signalink USB + doppler correction, tried in both
FM and USB mode but no decode. Will try the signal centered on the 2000 Hz
mark as suggested.?73

I'm finally getting around to decoding a pass from this morning & made a

Please disregard the RF frequency display; I'm replaying a recording from

informaticka skola, Zagreb, Croatia
Message-ID: <5855C5B471784CB19F4046811BDECB78@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Prva srednja informaticka skola, Zagreb, Croatia on 18 Jan.
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:46 UTC. It is
recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this
time. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK6MJ. The contact should
be audible over Australia and adjacent areas. Interested parties are
invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to
be conducted in English.
"Prva srednja informaticka skola is a secondary (vocational) school of
applied informatics located in Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia. It is a
small private school that puts great importance on STEM related subjects and
education. After a four year programme, our students graduate as a qualified
computer technicians and computer programmers.
The school is trying to implement modern and innovative techniques of
education that go beyond the standard and traditional classroom model of
presenting knowledge. For instance, we nourish students' interest in
astronomy and have telescope workshops, use virtual reality technology and
other innovative programs and applications to explore scientific topics and
emphasize the importance of field work and research. That is the reason why
this project is of extreme importance and relevance to the school."
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How do you shower in microgravity?
2. Has any of the crew members ever had significant health complications on
ISS, if so, what is the procedure then?
3. How do you fight muscle loss?
4. What type of studies are done in space and what was your most interesting
task or experiment?
5. Do you do any research on cohesion forces in materials under conditions of
weightlessness?
6. Do you carry out experiments on living cells and if you do, do they differ
from those done on Earth?
7. Is your daily routine organized according to the New Earth Time or
according to the station orbit?
8. What are career profiles of the station crew?
9. Can you describe how you sleep on ISS and the troubles you experience with
sleeping (if there are any)?
10. Is this your first time on ISS and is there a limit to the number of
going to ISS and a time limit to staying there?
11. Have you ever come across any new or unexplained phenomena?
12. What does before and during the take-off feel like?
13. What do you miss the most from Earth while orbiting around it?
14. Is it weird to swallow food and digest when there is no gravity?
15. How many times a day do astronauts see the sunset and the sunrise?
16. What is your favorite pastime activity on ISS?
17. Have you ever had problems with micrometeorites when working outside the
station?
18. How long is the astronaut training, especially physical training?
19. How long did it take you to adapt to life on ISS?
20. Can things be sent and how from the station to Earth?

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.

I have read AMSAT officials say it will be on a schedule between the
2m/70cm transponder and also the L band uplink.
The camera also turns off after 40 minutes from what I understand, so it
couldn't be on 24/7 very easily.

Correct. Here is the applicable text from "Getting Ready for Fox-1D"
"Operating Schedule Notes
While the U/v FM transponders on AO-85 and AO-91 are generally
available for amateur use continuously, Fox-1D carries several
experimental payloads, including the Virginia Tech camera and the
University of Iowa?s HERCI that require the use of the Fox-1 high
speed telemetry downlink. The FM transponder is not available in this
mode. In addition, times will be scheduled for the use of the L-band
Downshifter. The 435 MHz uplink is not available in this mode.
Following commissioning, AMSAT Operations will periodically publish an
operating schedule via the AMSAT News Service, AMSAT-BB, and AMSAT
social media accounts."
