Hi Peri,
SatPC32 has to send the commands as required by the Yaesu GS-232
protocol. There is a single command that causes both rotors? to run to
the calculated? target positions, the format is Waaa eee.

Hi Hasan,
Currently, JY1Sat is sending images all the time.
The JY1 Dashboard, by default, stores the images in jpg format in a
folder from appdata , as you stated. The path can be changed in the
dashboard under file- settings-images.
At the present time only JY1sat has the capability to transmit
images...but maybe in the future....

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
?
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.

Yes JO-97 has been sending its SSDV (Slow Scan Digital Video) since launch
24/7 and it seems its images it sends down gets updated every few months or
so which is not very frequent. Unfortunately there has been no
communication on what the status of the transponder it or if it will ever
be activated. AO-73/EO-88 do not send down SSDV like JO-97 does. Also we
haven't even gotten a telemetry format to even see the telemetry properly,
if you look at the dashboard while decoding telemetry from JO-97 you will
notice its all invalid/nonsense data. To my knowledge the dashboard does
save in the images in the program somewhere, you will have to do some
digging to find them (I think it saves to app data directory).

I have been monitoring on passes this weekend but have not heard anything
at all, not even a faint trace for the RTTY. To be fair I am only using a
70cm crossed dipole turnstile with a high quality LNA - works well for a
lot of other 70cm satellites on good passes but perhaps I am expecting too
much of for the current state of affairs with FOSSASAT.

So far, Imants YL2CT has received several decodable signals. EME array.
RX complicated by several factors.
Signals very weak.
- appears antenna and maybe one of three solar panels not deployed.
- majority of ground stations using sx127x based LoRa chip, which are
incompatible with sx126x on bird which as unfortunately programmed with a
poorly documented syncword.
The sx127x is reported to be compatible with the upcoming Fossasat 2 and 3
missions next March.

I just discovered that the TLE for Duchifat3 in the nasabare.txt file are
incorrect.
Correct TLE are in tle-new.txt as DUCHIFAT-3.
