Yes, and you can draw that Doppler curve and from the rate of change  you
can calculate that stations position!

That was the basis for all Early Satellite Positioning systems and most of
the early EPRB Emergency Locator beacons.  It woiuld be a great science
project for kids to plot the doppper and see if they can figure out the
position of a station!

When authors start upgrading PSK31 programs so that they are fdull duplex
and can AFC their own uplink, then none of the satellite user signals will
slew, but since we chose the same uplink as normal terrestrial PSK31
users, those signals can plot a nice Doppler curve.  The only problem
there is that they turn their transmitters on and off, but usually stay on
the same 10m frequency, so that means although their signals are disjoint,
their emissions should all be on their theoretical Doppler curve and
therefore can be located.

Actually, on just one pass all you can get is a line of position relative
to the satelites track,  But on two passes, then  you can have two lines
of position and where they intersect is the stations position.

Good luck!  Maybe someone has the time to search for a good reference for
the technique.

Hey,

I have recently purchased an ICOM 9100 for the purposes of a educational
satellite project.
I require the radio to uplink telecommands and downlink payload data and
telemetry in FSK and OOK type modulation.
Any help regarding the interfacing of PC to the Radio for the same purpose
would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you

Kshitij,

I use Ham Radio Deluxe ver. 6.29.355. It was simply plug in the USB cable,
select 9100 and I was connected. Make sure you use an adequate computer if
you go the HRD route as all the modules you will ever need are built into
the suite and require more resources than some of the other ponderous
packages.
I originally made the mistake of using the old version 5.X and had some odd
problems with the 9100. Ever since I installed the latest version it is been
trouble free, fingers crossed.

Cheers,

Couple suggestions.. 1) short USB cable ?2) I could not get hrd to control
radio correctly for liner inverting sats, check out SatPC32. ?3) lots of
options for data, look at dire wolf or packet engine pro... one gotcha, 9600
baud packets must go through the data port on rear of radio, USB will not
work...
Hope this helps

Hi,

The fact that you opened this message means you are all of the things
mentioned in the subject line and probably even good looking.

This fellow has come up with what I believe is the first really good
portable rotor controller (even better than mine !). He is planning on
releasing the plans to the public. Fabrication was done with a 3D printer.
It is a work of art. It is not some pie in the sky all talk and no action
thing we are all used to hearing about.

http://www.mobypicture.com/user/MeltdownCore/view/18165109

Here is a clip from a recent email he sent to me.

F.A.Q.

Q: Have you seen the rotor article in QST ?
A: Yes and I believe this is much better.

Q: What about the AMSAT board ?
A: It appears that they *might* be open to marketing it as they do with the
LVB Tracker and pre-amp.

Q: Why don't you just leave us alone and do it yourself ?
A: I am old.

No, it was just the next message in my inbox.

But besides that bit of bad marketing:

This looks good. This seems to be moving an Elk Antenna with little problem
with for a sat antenna 'high' speeds so it may move an Arrow Antenna or
even heavier stuff (given a good center of gravity) at 'normal' speeds with
little problem.

I must say it also looks more solid than SatNOGS, to be honest.
https://satnogs.org/

It will be in roughly the same 'market' : an antenna rotator that is not
too expensive, doable to build, can be controlled from tracking software
such as gpredict and isn't weather proof but can be set up on a dry day
on a tripod easily.

> Perhaps there is someone or a group out there who would be interested in

There are people who can take the bill of materials, the stl files, the
software and can build it themselves. Or take the stl files to a 3D printer
service or makerspace.

There are people who want to buy the parts sorted with instructions and
will build it.

But there are lots of steps between 'it moves!!!' and 'it is something
someone else should be able to duplicate' and even more steps before
'someone can sell the parts and instructions for someone to rebuild it'.

Keep us posted!

Light sail still transmitting. @xxxxxxxx Pacific pass.

Always easy copy with AGW-PE at 9600, when it is transmitting.
  I imagine the printable binary data is of little value, but here it is
anyway.

Dear Bob,

Could you elaborate on this? If I understood correctly, position
determination by means of Doppler measurements started with project
Transit. With good knowledge of the satellite TLE and an accurate clock,
a ground station could determine its position with good precision by
measuring the Doppler curve from the beacon of the satellite over a
couple of minutes or so. Indeed, two different frequencies were used to
try and compensate for ionospheric refraction.

I think that this would work similarly and given good TLEs for PSAT and
an NTP or GPS synchronized clock, it should be possible to locate ground
stations just by measuring several of their transmissions over just one
pass. Perhaps ionospheric effects on 10m are too high for this to work
with much precision, but at least some rough estimate could be obtained
(6 digit locator would be nice).

73,

Dani EA4GPZ.

On the contrary: the sail was (at least partially) deployed during the pass
over the groundstation today around 19:45 UTC. If the deployment was fully
successful, the satellite may be expected to decay and burn up in the
atmosphere within three days.

Hello all,
I tryed out the pass on APRS about 12:50 UTC today. Very very strong
satellite 57! Could not digepeat a packet for some reason. I think i was a
little confused about the paths, what are the paths for to and via? Im
using UISS. Got many frames of Telemetry this pass as well! Also bob you
should at PSAT to oscar.dcarr for recepetion reports. I noticed very few
people got digpeated... Also bob the frames that have all the numbers in
them, what do they mean, are the just noisy tlm frames? Also for all the
people out that wanted to know what their frame of telemetry means here you
go:

PSAT Beacon specification:

CALL beacon MODE NOF DET AGC VC IC TMP

Where:
CALLidentification of the beacon (callsign)beaconkeyword indicating
beginning of dataMODEA or B (A ? transmitter always on, B ? transmitter
turns on, if BPSK31 signal is present)NOFnumber of frame (0 ?
999)DETpercentage
of BPSK31 detection (0 ? 99%)AGCpercentage of AGC operation (0 ? 99%)VCsupply
voltage (10 mVolts)ICpower amplifier current (mAmps)TMPtemperature of PA
transistor (deg C)

The AGC measured voltage is highly nonlinearly dependent on the input
signal, morover the limiting values of measurement vary with temperature of
the chip and its supply voltage. Indicative only conversion equation was
computed as from 50Ohm generator to input of receiver Pin = 0.472xAGC-113.5
[dBm, %]

Example:

W3ADO-5 beacon B 044 03 24 540 198 +28

It means mode B active, frame number 044, BPSK31 03 %, AGC acting 24%,
supply voltage 5.40V, PA current 198mA ant temperature of the PA transistor
of +28?C.
