H-II Transfer Vehicle7 (HTV7) which will launch at 11th Sep, deliver
three CubeSats as J-SSOD#10 to ISS. The CubeSats are SPATIUM-I, RSP-00
and STARS-Me. RSP-00 and STARS-Me operate on amateur band. SPATIUM-I
operates on 401 and 467MHz.
Here is the satellite info
RSP-00 Rymansat Project
1U
145.890MHz CW beacon, AFSK 1k2, digitalker
STARS-Me Shizuoka University
2U (Mother 1U + Daughter 1U)

Daughter callsign JJ2YPM 437.255MHz CW, 437.425MHz 1k2 AFSK/9k6 GMSK
Deployment day is not announced yet. The average lead time of J-SSOD
launch to deployment is 34 dyas except abnormal three data. So, I
guess the day will be on October.

Call for Volunteers, ANS Seeks Rotating Editors
The AMSAT News Service (ANS) is seeking volunteers to serve as
rotating editors for its weekly newsletter.
Editors work on a rotating schedule, each taking a different turn
editing a specific week's newsletter as scheduled by the ANS Editor
in Chief. Editors support each other by seeking and reporting to the
Editor of the week, information and resources of interest to the
AMSAT community. The number of newsletters assigned will be dependent
upon the number of available editors at any given time. The average
editor can expect to spend, on average, 4-5 hours for each newsletter,
dependent on available material. Prospective editors are required to
be AMSAT members in good standing and have a genuine interest in
satellite operation and an understanding of AMSAT's mission. Former
editing experience is a plus but not required.
If interested, please submit an inquiry, including your contact
information to ans-editor at amsat.com.
[ANS thanks the ANS editors for the above information]

Killmer, WA2AQH, of Poughkeepsie, New York.
Stu recalled, "Gary was a long time member of the club and a
personal friend of many of ours outside of radio as well. He was
a mainstay in the local satellite arena and a very active proponent
of AMSAT. We remember his many QSOs on .97 as he worked late shifts
driving his trucks at night and kept the local VHF bands warm."

Fair IberRadio 2018 activities.
IberRadio is the biggest event for the ham community in South
West Europe, opening on September 14 - 15. Learn more about
IberRadio at http://www.iberradio.es.
The AM1SAT callsign will be active from a minimum of 14 different
grids during that time to help satellite operators to collect as
much EA locators as possible.
As part of this activity and in order to promote the participation,
AMSAT-EA is sponsoring the AM1SAT Special Award in two categories:
SILVER and GOLD.
AWARD RULES
1. This award can be requested and issued to any licensed amateur
station and also SWLs
2. Will be valid for all contacts via AMSAT satellites from

3. There are two different requirements to get the awards,
depending of the applicant location.
If the applicant is in a European country:
To qualify for the SILVER award the applicant has to contact
AM1SAT in 5 different grids (We consider "grid" as a 4-digits
main locator. For example IN71, IM68, JN00, etc). To qualify
for the GOLD award the applicant has to contact AM1SAT in 10
different grids.
If the applicant in a non-European country:
To qualify for the SILVER award the applicant has to contact
AM1SAT in 2 different grids (We consider "grid" as a 4-digits
main locator. For example IN71, IM68, JN00, etc). To qualify
for the GOLD award the applicant has to contact AM1SAT in 4
different grids.
4. There is no need for paper QSLs nor EQSLs to apply for the award.
When the applicant gets the requirements, email a log with the
QSOs,
listing your callsign, name, and QSO data (Date, GMT time,
frequency,
mode, received grid and the satellite). Include your e-mail for
AMSAT-EA to send the award. You will receive your award within
2 months in PDF format. There is no charge for this award.
5. Logs and any question about this activity must be sent to
eb1ao at amsat-ea.org .

Hi All,
As anticipated, FUNcube/AO-73 is now in continuous sunlight and we have
decided to leave the satellite in education mode (full power beacon, no
transponder) until further notice. The reason for doing this is to allow the
satellite?s temperature to stabilise.
There is more information at https://funcube.org.uk/news/

AO-92 to Try Imaging Hurricane Florence September 13-14
AMSAT Vice-President of Operations, Drew Glasbrenner, KO4MA says that
the camera on AO-92 is planned to be used to try to image Hurricane
Florence during North American east coast passes on Thursday,
September 13, and Friday, September 14.
AO-92 will not be in its U/V FM voice transponder operation during
these passes. Ground stations should standby and not attempt to access
AO-92 during this time. Voice operation will be available later during
these days.
The high speed image data will be transmitted on the 145.880 MHz downlink.
The image can be captured, decoded, and uploaded to the Fox-1 data
warehouse using the FoxTelem v.1.06 software available from AMSAT:

We'll be trying to get things up and running to support this at VT!
Our ground station is basically down at the moment for upgrades (has
been for a while, manual operation only on site, no arm chair remote
stuff at the moment or full up automation yet hi hi!, but we're slowly
working on that!).? We're not sure how bad things will get on those days
in SW VA weather wise.? Myself and a colleague (and hopefully a student
or two) are planning to MacGyver a few things to support these passes
manually from the site to collect as much high speed data as we can
weather permitting!? Plan B is a separate setup that may be more
'expeditious' using personal gear, but again....not sure how bad the
weather might get.....
We'll do our best!? And we heavily encourage others to participate, this
could look really cool!? (is this the proof of concept of a satellite
arm of SKYWARN....that could be neat....?)
