Thanks for the detailed response Jerry!
I certainly can understand the headaches involved with the licensing, we're
having our own issues at the moment (all part 5 stuff, not in the ham
bands....it would seem to be a pretty simple thing we're trying to do, but
apparently it's not.......searing headaches daily). One day I might pick
your brain more about the details there, I've got something like 50
questions...........but not today, and not on the list.
Even if the K-Band system is Part 5, it is still good to see it operating in
the Amateur Satellite Service frequency band and stimulating use of
microwave on smallsats. Perhaps some FCC magic can happen down the road and
we can play with it too (won't hold my breath, but I can hope)!
I'd still be interested in learning more about their ground segment for this
system (there are hints of GNU Radio on their page). Any info on their HW
design, link budgets, pointing control, etc.. would be interesting to me.
If anyone can point me to additional information either on or off list I
would appreciate it.
Good Luck to the HuskySat-1 Team!

Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] HuskySat
Zach,
The Part 97 license that AMSAT will operate under does not include or
allow the use of any of the experiments on board.? As those experiments
were not able to conform to the Part 97 so called 'educational
exemption', including the K-band radio, that is ultimately why two
licenses were required.? Part 5 Experimental is operated by UW for
everything including the telemetry downlink of the AMSAT transponder
module, and the transponder must remain off during that operation.? Part
97 operation by AMSAT will solely be the AMSAT transponder module.
This was the first partnership with an educational institution where an
AMSAT radio was flown on a non-AMSAT (UW in this case) CubeSat.? In the
process of working with the FCC and NASA to obtain a single Part 97
license that was not complicated or restricted by "pecuniary interest",
the experience developed an understanding with FCC as to how a mission
such as HuskySat-1 could be fully licensed under Part 97.? There were
delays and difficulties in executing all of the requirements to qualify
Part 97 and that ultimately carried on up to the mission deadline
requirement for having a license in hand in order for HuskySat-1 to be
integrated on the LV.? The only way forward at that time, in order for
UW to make the launch, was to do the separate licensing.
It was lots of work and some good frustration along the way and I thank
and commend our partners at University of Washington as well as the FCC
for their work to make it happen, and our friends at NASA for giving us
the opportunity to push for a path to amateur radio licensing for more
of the CubeSat launches they sponsor.? I believe that it has resulted in
a known path toward fully Part 97 licensed educational (e.g. university)
CubeSats.? That should in turn offer more opportunities for AMSAT radios
to fly as the communications package for a mission as well as an
operating amateur radio satellite, in the same way as the CubeSats we
produce.

mission.......will there be a chance in the future to turn the K-Band system
on when not over Washington? Any info on the ground systems they are using
to demonstrate the K-band radio? I'm wondering about feasibility of follow
on experiments with microwave. Seems like a good candidate mission to pair
up with the 6.1m antennas brought up at the Symposium for University of
Arizona / Rincon (useable up to ~250 GHz).....maybe useful to demonstrate
their ground systems are working (if the K-band TX can be turned on over
Arizona/Colorado).....

?
Call for Proposals?
?
Current Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019
?
Upcoming Proposal Window is February 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020?
?
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 for
proposals submitted in the proposal window now open would be held between
July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020.? ARISS is happy to announce a second
proposal window will open February 1, 2020 for contacts that would be held
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. 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 proposals for contacts between July 1, 2020 and
December 31, 2020 is November 30, 2019.? The proposal window for contacts
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 will open on February 1, 2020 and
close on March 31, 2020.? Proposal information and documents can be found at
www.ariss.org. Two ARISS Introductory Webinar sessions will be held on
November 7, 2019. The first is at 6:00 PM ET and the second is at 9:00 PM
ET. The same material will be covered during both sessions, so choose the
session that best fits your schedule. The Eventbrite link to sign up
is?https://ariss-introductory-webinar-fall-2019.eventbrite.com?.
?
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.??

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

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.??

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Dear All,
Does anyone have information about the frequencies, modulation of this bird
and how to decode imagery (which seems to be open)?
