Just got off the phone with the Sales Manager. She will call me back with
the number of rooms available Tuesday-Sunday. If the block is full she

know.

Each launch provider will publish a Payload Planner's Guide that will
describe the environment on the rocket during all phases of launch,
which will dictate the minimum testing regime for the satellite. The
guide will also include the documentation that must be delivered as part
of that process.
As an example, Spaceflight Services has a guide for their ride share
opportunities:
https://spaceflight.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Spaceflight-Mission-Plannin
g-Guide-Rev-G.pdf
One also needs to comply with government licensing requirements. In the
US that would be the FCC:
https://www.fcc.gov/document/guidance-obtaining-licenses-small-satellites
And I believe the FCC also requires an Orbital Debris Assessment Report:
https://standards.nasa.gov/standard/nasa/nasa-std-871914
But perhaps someone who has gone through the American process can
explain it in more detail.
Also, if the satellite has a camera, it must obtain a remote sensing
license from NOAA.

Subject: [amsat-bb] PSAT2 downlink for DTMF grids and messages
Message-ID:

Thanks to Robert, KE6BLR, we can now capture the DTMF Grids and Messages
data coming down from PSAT2. I have added the DTMF page to the list of
links for PSAT2:
http://aprs.org/sats.html
Summary: You encode your Grid and callsign into a 16 digit DTMF memory on
your radio. Using narrow band FM, send it on 145.98 withi doppler
compensation or at the middle of a pass.
PSAT2 assigns a CQ number and acknowledges it by voice and then sends an
APRS packet that contains the grid. Robert's web page will capture that
packet.
A second station can send their DTMF grid and get the same process but with
a new CQ number.
Now, either station can send a DTMF QSL Message for the other guy's CQ
number which will also be spoken and recorded on the APRS downlink.
Details on the psat2 page on the above web page.
PSAT2 is entering a phase of Apogee in the northern hemisphere for a week
or so and so is more workable in the USA and southern Europe.

So what if the satellite was launched by Canada? It's AMSAT-NA, so
Canada is included (I presume). If the USA has too many restrictions on
launching requirements then go for a non-USA solutionm, I would say.
(But what do I know? Just looking around the corner).

Many thanks to Robert for the time he's put into creating these very
informative web pages!
Bob, I have read and re-read the DTMF instructions but even though it
reflects poorly on me, I'm not sure what exact string to transmit to QSL
someone's previous CQ.
So here is my best guess - please correct as required.
My callsign/grid DTMF (that has worked once) is: *18175453702201#
For me to QSL CQ #45 from KC9ELU, do I transmit the following?:
C4045*18175453702201#
Thanks in advance!
-Scott, K4KDR
