Reposted from RadioReference.
"Hey folks. I'm a total newbie in this community and I apologize if this
isn't the proper forum for this post - please feel free to move it or
let me know where I should put it if it is out of place.
In short, over at NASA Johnson Space Center (in Houston), we are having
trouble finding folks for a number of systems engineer level positions.
I shouldn't say we are "having trouble"... it is just that we are on
some short schedules and would like to find interested candidates as
quickly as possible. A few of the areas we are looking for support are
in RF Communications, Audio, and Lighting. After doing some research, I
decided I might try posting in a forum like this to see if anyone in the
radio community was either interested in a change or just looking to
better utilize their skills. Or perhaps know of someone else who might be.
The Gateway is a new orbiting outpost around the moon in what is called
a Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit. Some google searching on NASA Gateway
will probably shed some light on the design thus far. The other element
will be lunar lander vehicles that go back and forth from the South pole
of the Moon to the Gateway vehicle.
Right now the program is heavy on systems engineering - writing
documents for requirements, interface control, verification, etc.
Eventually that will lead into participating into preliminary and then
critical design reviews.
We are interested in candidates that want to work in Houston and can
participate in the above systems engineering steps as well as help
determine RF performance (in the case of the RF Communications position)
and determine link budgets, forward error correction analysis, etc.
Required experience would be at least a BS degree in a related field.
Lots of other experience would be a plus, but rather than go through all
that here, I would just say, if any of this sounds like it could apply
to you or someone you know, please get in touch with me! You can reach
me at frank.j.graffagnino@????.??? "

Bernard,
Thanks for sharing my tweet that I posted, indeed it's very nice to
operate from the sofa, however, this isn't something that's GEO only
you can do it with all aspects of the spectrum including LEO.

Hi!
I will be on the road tomorrow, heading to California. On my way there,
I will stop on the DM23/DM24 grid boundary in western Arizona to work
some passes. I plan on working passes between 1600 and at least 1900
UTC, before resuming my drive. I was just out there a few weekends ago,
but wanted to put this spot on the air again since I would be passing
through the area. My drive should be visible on APRS as WD9EWK-9, at
web sites like:
http://aprs.fi/WD9EWK-9
Over the weekend, I will work passes from two different locations in
southern California. I previously posted the plans for "Ham Radio Day
Aboard the Queen Mary" on Saturday, 14 December 2019. Endaf N6UTC and I
will work passes as W6RO between 1700 UTC and 0100 UTC (9am-5pm Pacific
time) from the Sports Deck on the RMS Queen Mary, next to the W6RO
Wireless Room. More information about this event is available at:
https://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2019-November/075512.html
https://www.queenmary.com/calendar-of-events/ham-radio-day/home/
On Sunday, 15 December 2019, Endaf N6UTC and I will go north of the
Los Angeles area to the DM04/DM05/DM14/DM15 (35.0 N 118.0 W) grid
intersection. We plan on working passes for a few hours out there,
starting with an AO-92 pass around 1740 UTC.
I will upload my QSOs as WD9EWK to Logbook of the World, and N6UTC
also uses LOTW. W6RO does not use LOTW, but will issue QSL cards
following the procedure at:
http://www.qrz.com/db/W6RO
The Queen Mary is in grid DM03.
The QSO number mentioned on this page is not required for satellite
QSOs.
73!

Yes we have been discussing this on twitter. It was successfully launched
yestorday by ISRO and shortly after it was heard by Glenn AA5PK and a few
others over the US on 436.420 with the FM repeater active. As of today the
FM repeater is not on, only 9600 baud telemetry. So very good sign the
satellite is functioning well. There's also a good chance that the repeater
will be active continuously rather on a schedule as they said all 3 of its
payloads will operate in "parallel"
Frequencys:
Downlink: 436.420 (stated 436.400 but it's been heard 20khz above the
published frequency for some reason)
Uplink: 145.970 no tone
Status as of this post: 9K6 telemetry only.

Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
?
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 is happy to announce a 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 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.

Thank you, Nick. Good info. Are there plans to give it an OSCAR number
and add it to the "Pass Predictions"? Perhaps the AMSAT News Service
could publish an update for this forum.

Steve,
It will be in pass predictions, though with a temporary ID until it is
positively identified.
OSCAR numbers depend on the owner/operator of the satellite requesting
one. See https://www.amsat.org/oscar-numbers-policy/
This group hasn't released any updates on the FM transponder operating
plans that I have seen and so far there has only been one report of
hearing the transponder online.
73,
Paul, N8HM
