An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Australian Air League - South Australia Wing, Parafield,
South Australia, Australia on 13 March. The event is scheduled to begin at
approximately 08:56 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening
approximately 10 minutes before this time. The duration of the contact is
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge
between NA1SS and K6DUE. The contact should be audible over the east coast
of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz
downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Story:
The Australian Air League (AAL) is a volunteer youth organisation focused at
supporting and encouraging young people's interest in aerospace. The Air
League was formed on 18th July 1934 becoming known as the 'primary school of
aviation'.
The AAL provides a comprehensive educational program for its cadets which is
based on theory instruction as well as practical experience. The AAL is a
uniformed organisation and proud of its history and traditions. The AAL
educational program is aerospace focused and extends to the Diploma level.
Practical experience includes flying experience and training in gliders and
powered aircraft. A number of former AAL cadets have progressed into the
aerospace sector as pilots, technicians, scientists and academics. The AAL
comprises approximately 1300 cadets in Australia. The SA Wing comprises
approximately 100 cadets and arranged into three Squadrons.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. With all the training you did before going to space which part was
most useful?
2. Would the space station be able to support marine life?
3. What would you like to achieve that you have not yet achieved?
4. What do you do in your spare time on the space station?
5. What jobs do you have to do on the space station?
6. Is it true that due to the lack of gravity, an astronaut's sleep
pattern changes and you don't need as much sleep?
7. How long does it take to get to the space station?
8. Do your emotions change in space?
9. How do you entertain yourself on the space station?
10. If you could take any souvenir down from the station what would it
be?
11. What is the coolest or weirdest thing you have seen while on the
station?
12. What time zone do you use in space?
13. If you could have something delivered from earth what would it be?
14. Do your muscles stop working because you don't use them in zero
gravity?
15. How do you find direction in space if the compass is based on north
and south on earth?
16. What is the most interesting science experiment that you have done
in space and what did you learn from it?
17. What inspired you to want to live on the space station?
18. How do obtain a straight flight path?
19. How does the underwater training in the pools compare with really
living in space?

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

exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
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

I travel with work during the week and have an arrow and d72 in my carryon
luggage.
The switch to L Band takes me off the air and limits satellite opportunities
down to at worse, a single fm bird late in the evening.
As a new satellite op, I was not even aware that adhoc changes to uplink
band were being made.
I have 23cm antennas ordered for home and I?m looking forward to ?giving it
a go? but much prefer the weekend for changing bands.
There are not that many Fm satellites suitable for portable ops and making
the change is a big impact availability... It?s tough QSO?ing at BL11.

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.??

I started noticing observations on my home SatNogs station like this and
just figured it was local qrm. However after looking at observations
around the world, it appears that this type of signal is indeed coming from
the NO-84 PSK transponder.

and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For

Subject: [amsat-bb] NO-84 (PSAT) PSK Transponder - limited time left?
Message-ID: <1f6fba70280121b5a2c1475947ce250a@????.?????.???>

Before PSAT (NO-84) dies, don?t miss out on trying out its HF 28.120 PSK31
uplink transponder (435.350 MHz FM downlink). Apparently its battery is
weakening and cannot make it through some eclipses. And the orbit only has
2 years left (Battery probably wont last that long).
But in the sun, it should work fine. PSK31 Xponder is always enabled, all
it needs is to see PSK31 on the Ten-meter uplink.
It will also send down an SSTV image (in the same waterfall) once every 2
minutes if the sun power is good. WB4APR

Yes, it looks like NO-84. The pass was during eclipse, but not even in the
half of it. The first transmission is ok, but it states battery voltage
3.95V , next transmission probably gets TX on and then processor hangs up on
low voltage. It does not have any undervoltage protection implemented so it
fights and loses.
This pass shows it working:
https://network.satnogs.org/observations/1854205/
But the battery should be charged, it is just before eclipse and long time
above the sea, nevertheless, first transmission shows battery voltage 7.6V,
the next one just 5.34V so the battery capacity is practically nonexistent.
It still has some lifetime as decay prediction shows to it some 2 years
