Good afternoon all,
I will be /P the next few days traveling thru Missouri, Iowa, and
possibly Nebraska, thru EM36/37/38/29 and EN30/20/21/11, and back again.
This is not a primary roving trip, but I will be bringing the portable
kit along and will try to operate from at least a few of these spots as
I drive. I have activated most of these places in the past, but if
there's a state or grid you've missed, watch my Twitter feed (@xxxxxxx
or shoot me an email with what you're needing, and I'll try and make an
arrangement to be on from somewhere for you.
73!

That was the design goal, but until we get more experience, we wont know
for sure. But since everyone can see their own downlink just like everyone
else can see it, it should be no problem adjusting for minimum uplink power.
But with any shared transponder it can also become an arms race. As one
person increases power it drives the AGC down and everyone else goes down,
so they also increase power and this just keeps going until the AGC is
maximally tightened and everyone is transmitting max power and everyone is
weak.
What we really need (BEFORE this happens) is for everyone to give us
feedback as to the minimum power they needed to maintain a minimum signal
in the passband and of course, what kind of antenna they are using under
those conditions. And this is best early on when there are only 1 or 2
usewrs at a time..
If you don't yet have PSK31, but want to get some data, team up with an HF
friend in your area and ask him to just transmit for the next 10 minutes
and you can then receie his downlink while commenting on his signal
strength throughout the pass.
>The prelaunch orbit estimate I saw was a 700 km x 350 km orbit with an
expected orbital lifespan of 3 years. I'm not sure how close that is
to the final orbit.
We don't know yet either, but perigee is nearer the morning passes and
apogee is nearer the later passes (THis is for the Northern Hemisphere.).
Both apogee and perigee being near the equator.

At this moment in the year HF propagation on 10 meters is almost
non-existant in Europe (from time to time http://dxheat.com/dxc/ suggests
there is good propagation in the americas). This means the PSK31 uplink
band for PSAT is usually quiet.
A good time for testing this. I can do uplink on HF or downlink on 70cm,
but not both during the same pass. My locator JO22NC and my time is limited
due to work/family life ;). HF uplink is easier since that's all set up in
the shack.

Hi All,
Just confirm that FUNcube-1 was commanded into amateur mode at approx
10:54UTC this morning as planned for the weekend.
It is likely that the normal switch back to autonomous operation will not
take place until one of the Monday (June 1st) morning passes.

Those elements were removed from today's AMSAT keps set for some

Yes. Both of them were removed from today's set of AMSAT keps for some
reason. The AMSAT keps are what populate the Online Pass Predictions

See below for the element set sent via AMSAT's KEPS list. Perhaps we're
seeing a re-organization of the way ULTRASat elements are released at this
intermediate stage when it is too early to tell exactly which object is
which.

Below are KEP TLE sets associated with the 5/20/2015 Altas V launch from
Cape Canaveral of a primary payload and 10 cubesats. Since these objects
remain close together, the KEP sets have not been associated with any
specific object. We will have to wait until enough separation has occurred
to identify each individual object. This data courtesy of http://cubesat.org

Subject: [amsat-bb] PSAT and BRICSat identified
Message-ID: <556864FE.4020009@xxxxxx.xx>

All,
Using detailed doppler shift measurements, I find that PSAT is
object 90720, ULTRASat 1, and BRICSat is object 90729, ULTRASat 10.
Up-to-date TLE sets for these satellites can be found here:
http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~ops/ultrasat/ultrasat_jspoc.txt
http://mstl.atl.calpoly.edu/~ops/keps/kepler.txt
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o48dswYcTHb-op9ygaKhrizrelMGV9pYcUm0SFmxfS
8/pub
This means that PSAT is actually object 40652, 2015-025B, and
BRICSat is actually object 40661, 2015-025L, in the JSpOC catalog.
But Space-Track does not publish TLE sets for these objects.
Meanwhile, The Planetary Society suggests that the TLE set for
object 90721, ULTRASat 2, gives the best match for LightSail.
If that is correct, then LightSail is actually object 40653,
2015-025C, in the JSpOC catalog.
