On the 0105u pass of BRCSAT,  I received one 9K6 packet.  That was also
the only packet I heard.

1:Fm BRCSAT To APUSNA <UI pid=F0 Len=19 >[18:05:07]

0000000936, 21,684



For the Light sail I received a lot of binary data at 9K6.  I do not
have a decoder installed, so here is the "RAW" data.

Very easy copy, loud signal.

Kelley,

I use a sound card direct fed from the 9K6 port of my radios, and the
AGW-PE software.

Been using this for years.

Give the new Direwolf a try.

It has a new technology under the hood that is squeezing every bit of
information; again this is pre-alpha but it's working excellent here.

The download URL is here, for linux/windows, take a moment to read the
documentation in PDF included on the zip files.

Windows:
http://home.comcast.net/~wb2osz/Version%201.2/direwolf-1.2-dev-E-win.zip

Linux:
http://home.comcast.net/~wb2osz/Version%201.2/direwolf-1.2-dev-E-src.zip

It can do 300/1200/2400/9600 baud.

Configuration is a little tricky, I known... but you will enjoy the
results at the end.

73 from CO7WT.

PS: I use the email via a 9600 packet link that use the new direwolf as
TNC on both sides at 9600 baud, of every possible software I tried, this
is the best. IMHO.

Hi,
I was monitoring the Funcube-1 Dashboard Data this morning (Thursday 21st
May)  and after its pass I tuned around 145.825 Mhz.
I appear to have heard CW from PSAT-1 at a late stage of a pass before it
got to low.  The frequency was
around 145.824 Mhz and the time 1142 gmt.   Sorry I perhaps  missed an
opportunity to monitor and give a full report.
Please note also that UO-11 is "off" at the moment but I was getting data
bursts from NO-44  during an earlier pass.

Power levels seem fine, so we are awaiting Brno to authorize users on

Now listening for USS Langley on 437.475

The elements below seem to work fine.

This is really cool, even just watching everyone *talk* about the
successful launch, not even watching video of it, or receiving it,
yet.

I am curious though, are there three separate satellites in one unit?
It's confusing for me to think that way.

US Naval Academy Satellite Status

Three of four transmitters on 3 separate spacecraft have been heard.  PSAT
has good voltages and nice temperatures.  BRICsat has now been heerd.
Awaiting permission from BRNO University to authorize HF user uplinks on
PSK31.

Also we have turned on Whole Orbit Data (WOD) and so each miniute PSAT
will include a packet (145.825) with alphapbet soup on the end.  Those
will be triplets of XYZ sun data for the last minute.  So we will be
looking for a rotation pattern in those values.

145.825 1.5U  cubesat PSAT 1200 baud
435.350 same cubesat PSAT PSK31 Brno University transponder
437.975 1.5U  cubesat BRICsat 9600 baud
437.975 3.0U  cubesat USS Langley  <yet to be heard from>

Dear all,
We have experienced some problems in the registration process at our web
site.  Our students are working on fixing these problems and we estimate
this might take a few days.
We appologize for the difficulties some of you have experienced and we
appreciate your patience.

Please do not give up, and try again after we will notify you that the
problems are solved.

In the mean time you are welcome to try to receive and decode the
satellite, send us telemetry, and prepare your setup for sending COMPRESSED
APRS packets to DUCHIFAT1 after we will fix the registration issues.

The next things we are looking for are:
1) The first PSAT-1 packet heard via the ISS digipeater
2) The first PSAT-1 S#..... abcabcabcabcabcabc packet showing us spin rate
3) Any data from USS Langley

Thanks
Bob, WB4APR

US Naval Academy Satellite Status

Three of four transmitters on 3 separate spacecraft have been heard.  PSAT
has good voltages and nice temperatures.  BRICsat has now been heerd.
Awaiting permission from BRNO University to authorize HF user uplinks on
PSK31.

Also we have turned on Whole Orbit Data (WOD) and so each miniute PSAT
will include a packet (145.825) with alphapbet soup on the end.  Those
will be triplets of XYZ sun data for the last minute.  So we will be
looking for a rotation pattern in those values.

145.825 1.5U  cubesat PSAT 1200 baud
435.350 same cubesat PSAT PSK31 Brno University transponder
437.975 1.5U  cubesat BRICsat 9600 baud
437.975 3.0U  cubesat USS Langley  <yet to be heard from>

I received this from the Planetary Society which I have been talking to
awhile ago. Forwarding to the bb for anyone's interest.

Hi Bob -

Are you or anyone else at AMSAT involved in tracking the LightSail? You
probably know all this but the amateur radio tracking information is here.
Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Successful launch this morning. Now it's a matter of tests and collecting
data to see how well it works.

I believe that I have the software for Duchifat up and running since you
made the new version with .exe files available.
On the most recent pass, a few minutes ago, I heard the Morse ID, but I was
unable to decode any packets.
The problem is probably my receiving system not being sensitive enough.
Morse ID for Duchifat heard about 1630 UTC.
