Cubesat Simulators Launched
Dr. Alan Johnston, KU2Y, Vice President - Educational Affairs has
announced the general availability of the AMSAT Cubesat Simulators.
Speaking at the 37th Annual Space Symposium, Alan reports that since
the prototype Cubesat Simulators were introduced at Hamvention in May,
2019, the simulators have undergone testing and final release. Among
the schools testing the simulators was Bishop O'Connell High School in
Arlington, Virginia. Science and Engineering teacher Melissa Pore
presented to the symposium audience her experience with using a
simulator in one of her engineering clubs and how her student
benefitted from their use.
A Cubesat Simulator is a self-contained satellite model that reports
solar cell performance via standard AFSK 1200 BPS AX.25 telemetry.
The telemetry can be decoded with a simple SDR ground station. A
Cubesat Simulator package consists of the 1U simulator, a halogen work
light to simulate sunshine, and a motorized rotating turntable that
mimics the satellite tumbling through space. The four loaner
packages are packed and shipped in a hard case. The simulator is
shipped prepaid while the user pays return shipping.
Persons interested in borrowing a CubeSat Simulator for a local
presentation is encouraged to contact Alan at KU2Y at amsat dot org.

Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution
The following Amateur Radio satellite has decayed from orbit and has
been removed from this week's TLE distribution:
TNS 0-2 - NORAD CAT ID 42914 - Decayed 10/15/2019 (per Space-Track).
Last week a number of "N"s were present in a few TLEs which caused some
programs to reject those TLEs. Note: Some (but not all) of the raw TLEs
from SpaceTrack have plus signs (+) which are not necessary. All plus
signs (+) in the TLEs are routinely changed to a blank space.
Last week all plus signs were incorrectly changed to the letter "N".
This was due to a change in the formatting program and a typing error
that substituted a "N" instead of a single blank space everytime a plus
sign was present. That problem has been corrected and should not be an
issue in the future.

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ The AMSAT Office will be closed on Monday, October 21 as the AMSAT
Symposium wraps up.
(ANS thanks Martha Saragovitz, AMSAT Manager, for the above informa-
tion -- you deserve a day off, Martha!)
+ Astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir carried out history?s
first all-female spacewalk Friday, floating outside the Internation-
al Space Station and successfully installing a 230-pound replacement
battery charger in the lab?s solar power system. The historic excur-
sion was carried out in a blaze of public interest that rose all the
way to the White House.
(ANS thanks Spaceflight Now for the above information)
+ NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine has named Douglas Loverro as the
agency?s new associate administrator for the Human Exploration and
Operations Mission Directorate. Loverro succeeds former astronaut
Kenneth Bowersox, who has been acting associate administrator since
July. Previously, Loverro spent three decades in the Department of
Defense and the National Reconnaissance Office developing, managing,
and establishing national policy for the full range of national
security space activities.
(ANS thanks spaceref.com for the above information)
+ SpaceX is seeking approval to add up to 30,000 more satellites to
its Starlink broadband network, on top of 12,000 spacecraft already
authorized by U.S. government regulators, according to filings sub-
mitted to the International Telecommunication Union.
(ANS thanks Spaceflight Now for the above information)
+ Possibly related to the previous news item, LeoLabs announced that
they plan to build four additional radar installations for tracking
space debris. Their current installations can track objects down to
about a 10 cm diameter, but with their new installations they?ll
theoretically be able to track objects as small as 2 cm. In general,
current radar systems tend to be limited on the lower end to objects
in the 5-10 cm range. Systems like LeoLabs? and the U.S. Air Force?s
upcoming Marshall Islands-based Space Fence will improve coverage,
but still won?t see the 128 million objects from 1 mm to 1 cm, which
have the potential to disable or completely destroy a satellite.
(ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information)
+ Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who became the first person in his-
tory to spacewalk in 1965, has died aged 85. He went on to become
the commander of Soyuz-Apollo, the first ever joint US-Soviet mis-
sion in 1975. Leonov died at Moscow's Burdenko hospital on Friday,
Oct. 11 after a long illness.

I am so honored to be elected by the AMSAT Board of Directors to be the
AMSAT Treasurer and reelected to be the AMSAT Vice-President of User
Services, as well as reappointed as the Director of AMSAT Ambassadors by the
AMSAT President.? Thank you for your confidence in me.? I am humbled.? This
is a lot of hats to wear, along with my full-time job, but I look forward to
the challenge.? I believe in AMSAT's mission and have a wonderful team of
volunteers to assist me.
?
I am excited to announce that there are major improvements coming for our
AMSAT members in the near future.? The AMSAT Board of Directors approved my
recommendations for an internet-based, member management system, the
transition to a digitally delivered, full-color AMSAT Journal, and a
complete overhaul of our AMSAT website.? I have been putting together these
proposals for several months and thank the Board of Directors for the
permission to move these projects forward.? These improvements will
modernize how AMSAT serves you.? I hope that you will be as impressed with
them as I am.
?
The member management system puts you in control of your membership account,
allowing you to update your contact information, pay your dues, and register
for events in real time.? In addition, the program will automatically push
out reminders, newsletters, and a digital copy of the AMSAT Journal.
?
Transitioning to a digitally-delivered, AMSAT Journal will allow us to
provide a full-color magazine, without raising the cost of membership.? In
addition, we will have to opportunity to provide member-only content on our
website, to include back issues of our AMSAT Journal.
?
Lastly, we will be working on a complete overhaul of our AMSAT website.?
Over the years, our website has received several facelifts, and, in the
process, it has become somewhat disjointed.? Our goal is to make the
navigation more intuitive and offer the content you deserve.? The front of
the website will focus on external visitors, explaining who we are, what we
do, and what we have to offer.? We will also have portals for our members
and friends in the AMSAT community, how to guides on getting started in
amateur radio satellites, and all the important information about current
satellites you will need to work them.
?
AMSAT?s User Services is committed to serving AMSAT members and the AMSAT
community and to deliver the quality services you deserve as we move forward
into the next 50 years of Keeping Amateur Radio is Space!? If you would like
to join us on this incredible journey, we could sure use you help.

Had some strong signals from Bricsat-2 today with its 9600 bps telemetry
signal. Couldn't get any decodes with my usual Direwolf setup (the one I
use for Falconsat-3) and apart from being advertised as 9600 bps there
is not much more information about the modem. The signal is also awfully
wide: 20 kHz. Does anyone know more about how to decode this? All tips

Thanks to Joe and his team for a fantastic symposium. The look back in
history of the hams in space showed the vision, courage and ability to
convince government and defense officials that amateurs can contribute to
the public good. Now let's leverage the past work and move way beyond LEO.
As we reach for the stars let's not focus on the obstacles but on solutions
and how to overcome them.

Message to US Educators?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
New Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019?
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Crew scheduling and ISS
orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio
contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a
well-developed education plan.?
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 30, 2019.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at https://www.ariss.org .?
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??
