Eric, having just brought a 5400 elevation rotator back into service I
would say you should do the following.
Open it up, add anti seize compound to all the nuts and screws.
Replace both sets of ball bearings with stainless steel ones. I was
advised they are 5/16" not 8MM and have had no issues with imperial
sized ones, I chose to leave the bearing retainers in place.
Regrease everything and wipe all the cog surfaces with grease, the one
on my position pot was badly corroded.
Junk the eight cross head bolts that hold the casing together and
replace with stainless socket head bolts.
Use a liquid gasket when you stick the two halves back together and
consider enlarging the drain hole in the case.
This may seem a lot of work for something that is effectively new but it
will save a lot more grief in the long run.
The azimuth rotators seem to fare a little better but again I would
replace any external bolts with stainless, ditto the bearings and
regrease/anti seize everything else.
It's a convenient time to say thanks to everyone who offered advice and
tips when I renovated mine. As I took some photos through the process I
decided to put them together in a small web page, hope it's OK to post
it. http://www.ukdx.org.uk/tv/rotator.htm

Umesh,
I like your idea.
Assuming you are referring to questions asked during ARISS contacts. I would
estimate that over 20,000 questions have been asked over the years and this
doesn?t include SAREX contacts. Questions could possibly be reproduced in
that questions are written out and submitted in advance of the contact.
Remember though, not all questions are answered by end of contact. I believe
ARISS Ops maintain an historical archive of the documentation of each
contact including questions (not sure about Russian contacts).
The downside is that the same is not true about the answers. The answers are
off the cuff by the astronauts. So unless one could get a recording of the
contacts or a transcript that may have been reported, it would be difficult
to reconstruct the full conversations over the years. Where as most contacts
have been recorded in some form there is not a central repository for them.
Many recordings would have been done by the school or individuals associated
with the contacts. Gathering these would be a rather daunting task.
I have always wanted to parse through the information to discover the most
asked questions, or class the questions into categories. For example I have
noticed there are many what?s it like or how?s it different to live in space
questions. Many ask questions about the astronauts contingency if things go
wrong. What do you miss most about earth or home. Another is how do you
prepare or what classes should I take or what path should I take to become
an astronaut.
I also am curious about similar questions asked different astronauts that
receive conflicting answers (or an astronaut conflicting him/herself during
different contacts.)

Yeah, this is a great idea! It would be quite an archive. Let me know when
you're ready to proceed and I can hook you up with the folks who can get you
a login to post your new web pages.

Bob,
Documentation is only required if you operate from a grid line or corner.
Otherwise, it's all on the honor system.

Hi all,
?
I am the ARISS Op who keeps track of everything, posts the first public
domain info, and who maintains the private ARISS stuff.? So I have just
about everything I think people are looking for. except for the crew
replies.? For those, one would need to get a copy of the video or audio that
was recorded by the school.? Some of us ARISS mentors get a copy from the
school, sometimes we don't.? For some schools, they are barely able to have
a contact, so it is debatable if they also have recording equipment.
?
I have zero time (I average 2 to 3 hours every day maintaining all of the
ARISS stuff) to crank out a list of the questions asked but if someone wants
to look at what the schools were going to ask, then I can provide that.? Now
that I retired for the second time, maybe I will have time to get back on HF
or the satellites.? I don't even remember when I was on HF last.
?
I am willing to zip file what are really the files that I post to AMSAT-BB
(which makes them in the public domain) and put to DropBox or email them
directly; they are my working copies that have a date and time stamp as part
of the file name.? Someone could go into each file and retrieve the
questions that were to be asked.? As has been stated by someone, not all get
answered.? And often times there are a few extra questions that get asked on
the fly which would not be in my lists.? Fortunately, we do eventually get
the questions from Russia but often times that is after the fact, so they
may not be in the announcements.
?
My rough math on the number is somewhere close to 26000 ARISS questions.
?
Comments?

I'm no expert but it seems like this would be a good candidate for a
software program of some kind. Statistical analysis/categorization?
Artificial intelligence or machine learning? You could use a regular
expression just to find the amount of questions that mentioned
"bathroom" or other related words :-)

As Paul says, it's on the honor system. However, it is not a bad protocol to
take a picture of yourself or your location with the GPS location-stamping
enabled in your phone camera. There was a time when I went to a relatively
exotic location on a cruise ship and operated from the land ashore of the
boat. A picture settled arguments between the suspicious and the pedantic
for Satellite DXCC credit for that operation.

Hello, your is an enormous work. I'm a teacher, I had two ariss contacts and
I really love this program. Have mentors considered to ask schools to give
ARISS a file with the answers? Every school have a registration and if any
coordinatinating teacher does this work, it could be posted on ARISS website
to share. I'm here if you ask me I'll send mine.
Thank you for what you do!

about everything I think people are looking for. except for the crew

was recorded by the school.? Some of us ARISS mentors get a copy from the
school, sometimes we don't.? For some schools, they are barely able to have
a contact, so it is debatable if they also have recording equipment.

answered.? And often times there are a few extra questions that get asked on

the questions from Russia but often times that is after the fact, so they
may not be in the announcements.

> Umesh, I like your idea. Assuming you are referring to questions asked
during ARISS contacts. I would estimate that over 20,000 questions have been
asked over the years and this doesn?t include SAREX contacts. Questions
could possibly be reproduced in that questions are written out and submitted
in advance of the contact. Remember though, not all questions are answered
by end of contact. I believe ARISS Ops maintain an historical archive of the
documentation of each contact including questions (not sure about Russian
contacts). The downside is that the same is not true about the answers. The
answers are off the cuff by the astronauts. So unless one could get a
recording of the contacts or a transcript that may have been reported, it
would be difficult to reconstruct the full conversations over the years.
Where as most contacts have been recorded in some form there is not a
central repository for them. Many recordings would have been done by the
school or individuals associated with
the contacts. Gathering these would be a rather daunting task. I have
always wanted to parse through the information to discover the most asked
questions, or class the questions into categories. For example I have
noticed there are many what?s it like or how?s it different to live in space
questions. Many ask questions about the astronauts contingency if things go
wrong. What do you miss most about earth or home. Another is how do you
prepare or what classes should I take or what path should I take to become
an astronaut. I also am curious about similar questions asked different
astronauts that receive conflicting answers (or an astronaut conflicting
him/herself during different contacts.) 73, EMike EMike McCardel, AA8EM
