Both cameras and PSK31 are underutilized.
PSAT2 downlinks an image every 2 or 4 minutes IF it is in sunlight and IF
someone is uplinking PSK31 on 29.4815 or so. Then the PSK31 and any images
will be downlinked on 435.350. PSAT also has PSK31 transponder on that
frequency but its uplink is on 28.120 the normal ten meter PSK band. So it
is active more often.

... Unless I have missed it no one had requested high speed data mode,
camera downlink. It seems like this mode is used way to little. There are
several satellites in orbit that have the ability to downlink pictures of
the earth and it seems like the feature is under used

Don,
The opportunity to speak with an astronaut is handled through a program
called ARISS - Amateur Radio on the International Space Station. There is
a proposal process through which schools and other organizations are
selected to participate in the program. Currently there are two open
widows for proposals each year. We are current in one of those windows
that closes March 31, 2020, for contacts that will occur January 1, 2021
through June 30, 2021. The process is explained and proposal forms can be
found at https://www.ariss.org/apply-to-host-an-ariss-contact.html
It is a great program and a real adventure for the students.
If there a further questions please send them to
ariss.us.education@?????.???
Thank you for your interest in the ARISS program

Another FM repeater ham sat, okay.
"Meme broadcasting cube satellite"? Not on amateur frequencies, please!

The unique thing about this sat is people will be able to submit
"meme" images which it will downlink on 70cms. Common memes are images
with some humorous text overlayed which are shared on social media..
They are especially popular with younger generations so I think this
is a good way to get that segment of the population interested in ham
radio.

Sorry to say it, but if you want a sure-fire way to get younger people (and
I'm one of them) interested in learning about radio equipment and satellite
communications, this is probably one of the best ways to do it.
It's not going to be any worse than what seems to get fired around via SSTV
on the HF bands...

Why would a young person want to go to the trouble of getting licensed and
buying gear to send out a meme where (relatively) no one will see it, when
they could post it on the internet with no investment and where millions
can see it. This makes no sense.

You might as well be asking why would anyone get a ham license to talk to a
select few when they could get on the internet and talk to almost anyone.
Because doing it with your own communications equipment that you understand
is fun.
Obviously this isn't going to pull in a huge amount of people that wouldn't
otherwise be interested in ham radio, but if someone is on the edge of
interest, if they see this and maybe know other people doing it this could
put them over the edge.
It's not about the memes, it's about using something new and fun to do
something you already know is fun.

It sounds super cool to me. In fact I may see who wants to practice by

Because it's fun and culturally relevant to them.
There have been a couple of "meme nights" on 2m fm here in the portland or
area that created considerable interest, especially from younger, more
recently licensed hams.

Very well put John.
Also bragging rights. Original MEME content or (OC) as the kids are
calling it are a very power form of social currency.
Imagine you create some dank meme and It goes to space. It?s an art form
and this is a medium for getting it out there.
Also as an Extra Class OP at 38. I totally wish 12 year old Novice me had
memes in packet BBS. Oooooh we did in the form of ascii /ansi art. RTTY
as well
But this is in space. This is going to get kids jazzed about ham radio
and space in general
The question we need to ask ourselves is why would a kid want to be a ham
radio op when cool ideas are dumped on by curmudgeon old gatekeepers who
think you need to be able do 55 WPM CW left handed while standing on one
foot in order to be a ?real? ham radio guy
