Lincoln Calibration Spheres were launched in the 60s and are still used
today to calibrate ground radar systems. But they are entirely passive
(think very expensive hollow metal spheres).
GEOS-3 launched four years after AO-7, and lead a very active RF life up
until was decommissioned in 2016. It is still in orbit and people use it
as a test for laser ranging devices -- again passive, and not as old anyway.
I believe that AO-7 is indeed the oldest satellite that has an active RF
purpose.

Amazing images Nico, congratulations and respect to all concerned with

Subject: [amsat-bb] PSAT2 Status and Voice Ops (and reset)
Message-ID: <68aa885581cc62d5b223e4be00524dd3@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
PSAT2 digipeating and aprs-to-voice ops are working using the special
APRS-to-voice packet format.
But not both. A packet with a digipeating path will not be spoken and a
properly formatted text-to-voice message will not be digipeated. This is
a quirk of the TNC that for some reason does not pass a digipeated packet
out its serial port to the Speech CPU.
Also the 6 day watchdog timer is about to reset and will probably reboot
the spacecraft's comm system overnight. We are letting this fail-safe
watchdog timer time out intentionally so we can verify it works. Turns
out, the Speech CPU is sleeping longer than we expected and so it turned
into a 9 day timer! We hope our command station in Brazil can restore it
tomorrow.
You can see the alphabetic watchdog timer count (y) as the first character
in the APRS-to-voice bulletin:
PSAT2>APDIGI,ARISS::BLNg-APRS:y|Q S T: This is the Aee PRS bullettin .
It turned to (y) sometime between 1400 and 1700z today and after (z) it
will reset (it is 8 hours per count)...
If you wonder about the spelling of this bulletin, that is intentional,
because it is intended that this bulletin be spoken. We have found that
creative spelling can get the sound you want instead of what the
text-to-speech processor might come up with. And remember, for
text-to-speech, use lower case, or it will spell-out letters if they are
uppercase. Hence "Aee PRS" is the correct pronunciation of APRS and not
"Aprs" that some people use <wink> ;-)

Your updates are very helpful as we learn about the capabilities of this
new satellite - thanks Bob!
Regarding the text-to-voice, are you saying that we should not transmit
messages in that format to the normal 'ARISS' path?
If not, then what path should be used for text-to-voice messages?
Thanks!

No path that the satellite recognizes, (not ARISS and not APRSAT). Then
if the rest of the special "say this" packet is correct it will get spoken
if that mode is enabled. You can tell if text-to-voice mode is enabled by
the X bit in the telemetry ....010001X1.
The latest firmware for the D72, D74 and D710 radios will now decode and
display the telemetry packet so you can tell the modes.
Or, just download the PSAT2 Users Operating Manual from the web page:
