Has anyone copied this sat on East Coast USA passes ?

Not a lot of information around as to its status.

Good Afternoon all,



This week we will be doing some a few things with AO-92 out of the ordinary.



First, we will again attempt to image a hurricane (Michael this time) with
the Virginia Tech camera onboard AO-92. This will take place Wednesday and
Thursday mornings on the passes over the Gulf of Mexico. When you hear me
announce the mode change or the command signals on the repeater, please
stand by. All stations are encouraged to set up FoxTelem to copy the high
speed data during these passes.



Second, at the request of the folks at Microwave Update, we will switch to
L/v Thursday night for 24 hours. It is my understanding there will be some
testing of new antennas for the L band uplink at their antenna range onsite.
I don't anticipate to run L/v on Sunday as normal.



All this is assuming Hurricane Michael stays on track and doesn't swerve
east and rearrange or force me to lower my antennas.



73, Drew KO4MA

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ ARISS Students

??? ARISS-US program?s education proposal window open Oct. 1 - Nov. 30, 2018

?

September 25, 2018:? ARISS is seeking proposals beginning October 1, 2018
from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations
(working individually or together) to host amateur radio contacts with an
orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between
July 1 and December 30, 2019.

?

Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning
opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more
through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. ARISS has been pleased
of late, to be one of many possibilities of interest to educators during
NASA?s A Year of Education on Station, which celebrates an almost 12-month
presence of a teacher aboard the ISS.? The ARISS program connects students
to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio
Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other
Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The
program?s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio.

?

Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program
stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote,
?Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS
contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that
contact.?? Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning
centers because of students? interest.

?

ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless
technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and other
STEM subjects. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk directly to an
astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions. ARISS will help educational
organizations locate Amateur Radio groups who can assist with equipment for
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.

?

The proposal window opens October 1, 2018 and the proposal deadline is
November 30, 2018.

For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, visit:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html

?

Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered October 11 and October 23, 2018, both at 8 pm Eastern Time. Advance
registration is necessary. To sign up, go to:
ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2018.eventbrite.com/

Hi folks,

Halvard, LA7XK will be on Svalbard Island with a contest station, but
will also be working the sats using the call JW7XK and also possibly
(JW9DL), as follows:

"We will arrive in Longyearbyen early afternoon local
time Wednesday 10 We hope to be QRV on
FO-29 from orbit 9358 on Wednesday or maybe on the next orbit.
We hope to be on the sat both on SSB and CW for as many orbits as
possible until Saturday noon local time (around 10:00 UTC) The contest
starts at 1200UTC on Saturday and ends at 1200 UTC on Sunday.
We will have time fore some orbits on Sunday afternoon local time.
Monday we are packing up to fly home."

Halvard will have email access in Svalbard: hal-erik@??????.??

Message-ID:
<CACymvmcsYSKiDOS+=FJiYnT+SzGPNGRE3vpefThThNi11OufRw@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Normally, I decode telemetry live from the satellite and upload it
immediately. I have an RTL-SDR attached to my Android phone and use
SDRTouch to demodulate the FM signal feeding the headphone out to my laptop
running FoxTelem to decode the frames and upload it through my home's Wi-Fi.

However, with the weather turning and the difficultly of getting everything
set up, I was wondering if there are any issues with recording the audio or
IQ signal on my phone during the pass and feeding it into FoxTelem from my
phone later. Does it use my computer's local time or expected to be the
live stream, or does it just rely on the time stamp in the decoded packets
for ordering the telemetry data whenever it's received?

And on that, if I can decode later, is there a time limit I should follow
for decoding older data? If I captured a satellite pass in the morning
before leaving for work, but didn't feed it into FoxTelem for decode until
the evening when I get back home?

And lastly, I know it's a different group operating it, but I'm curious if
it's a similar policy for AO-73, the first FUNcube sat for decoding packets
delayed from their capture time.

Thanks for the info!

Hi

FUNcube packets are accepted up to two days after they were received by the
dashboard.

We use the sequence number and frame type to determine the ?satellite time?
since the epoch.

We can use these packets to back fill any missing ones and ?score? them for
the user.

CAS 5A, CAS 5B and CAS 6 have NOT been launched yet. They are planned
to be launched soon but maybe not before December.

Yesterday two Yaogan 32-01 Chinese spy satellites were launched from
Jiuquan launch center at 02:43 UTC with a Long March 2 rocket into a
690 x 704 km orbit, 98.28 degrees inclination. Their object numbers are
43642 and 43643. The YZ 1S upper stage of the launch rocket is 43644.

The confusion about a possible launch of CAS 5A and 5B is probably caused
by the fact that they are planned to be launched from the same launch
center and into a similar orbit. Note that CAS 6 will not be launched on the
same launch vehicle as CAS 5A and 5B, and it will be from a different
launch site and into a different orbit.
