AMSAT News Service Bulletin 243.01
>From AMSAT HQ KENSINGTON, MD.
DATE 2020 August 30
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-243.01
AMSAT Member David Minster, NA2AA, Elected ARRL CEO
The ARRL Board of Directors has elected David Minster, NA2AA, of Wayne,
New Jersey, as ARRL?s new Chief Executive Officer, starting on Septem-
ber 28. Minster is currently Managing Partner at Talentrian Partners,
a management consulting firm serving the consumer goods and luxury
goods industries.
Minster began his career as a software engineer, moving into management
at Unilever, as a Chief Information Officer and moved on to several
other companies in the course of his career, as CIO, COO, and CEO.
Minster got his Novice license, WB2MAE, in 1977, when he was in his
teens. He progressed from Advanced to Amateur Extra and, after a stint
as NW2D, he settled on the vanity call sign NA2AA in the 1990s as a way
to honor a mentor, N2AA, and the contest station that he used to fre-
quent, K2GL, in Tuxedo Park, New York.
Minster?s ham radio pursuits have ranged far and wide over the years.
His background includes National Traffic System training and participa-
tion in public service events, as well as contesting from home, club
stations, and contest stations in the Caribbean ? particularly on Bon-
aire, where he is a member of PJ4G. Primarily a CW operator, Minster
collects unique and vintage bugs and keys.
Minster earned a bachelor?s degree in computer engineering from The
Ohio State University and has a special interest in satellites, digital
communications, remote operation, and ham radio computing and software.
He has written keyer software for the commercial market, and contest
logging, packet, and satellite telemetry software for personal use.
In addition to being an ARRL member, Minster is a member of AMSAT, the
Frankford Radio Club, the Straight Key Century Club, CWops, and the
North American QRP CW Club.
?I spend every day of my life, one way or another, engaged in amateur
radio. It is more than just a hobby for me; it is my community. It is
where I live; where I have built lifelong friendships, and friendships
that span the globe. Amateur radio allows me to dream and to experi-
ment. I can?t wait to bring my energy and boundless enthusiasm in
service to ARRL.?
ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, said, ?We are excited to welcome
David as our new CEO, and look forward to his progressive leadership.
His experience in management and operations, plus his activities in
amateur radio, will serve our organization and members well.?
Minster will succeed Barry J. Shelley, N1VXY, who was CEO in 2018, and
who has been serving as ARRL?s Interim CEO since January 2020. Shelley
had been ARRL?s Chief Financial Officer since January 1992.

Jeanette Epps, KF5QNU, Joins Starliner Mission To ISS
NASA Astronaut Jeanette Epps, KF5QNU, NASA's Boeing Starliner-1 mis-
sion, the first operational crewed flight of Boeing?s CST-100 Star-
liner spacecraft on a mission to the International Space Station.
Epps will join NASA astronauts Sunita Williams, KD5PLB, and Josh Cas-
sada, KI5CRH, for a six-month expedition planned for a launch in 2021
to the ISS. The spaceflight will be the first for Epps, who earned a
doctorate in aerospace engineering in 2000 from the University of
Maryland, College Park.

ANS Editors Wanted
Are you the sort of ham who may not have the skills to put together a
satellite, but who does a pretty good job of putting *WORDS* together?
The AMSAT News Service (ANS) prepares and distributes weekly news bul-
letins about the world of amateursatellites, and ANS is in need of ad-
ditional rotating editors. Editors take turns putting together the
weekly bulletins, one week each month, more or less. They also help one
another out by seeking news items to pass along to the editor of the
week, and proofreading.
Online training and mentoring is provided. Time commitment is usually
4-6 hours per month, once trained and up to speed.
This is a great way for wordsmiths to contribute to AMSAT and to serve
your fellow amateurs. Contact k0jm [at] amsat.org with questions or to
volunteer.

CubeSat Challenge Seeks To Inspire, Prepare Students
The U.S. Department of Education has launched CTE Mission: CubeSat, a
national challenge to inspire students to build technical skills for
careers in space and beyond. High school students from across the coun-
try are invited to design and build CubeSat prototypes, or satellites
that aid in space research, bringing space missions out of the clouds
and into the classroom.
?This is such an exciting way to rethink education and get students
engaged in hands-on learning in the growing aerospace and technology
fields,? said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. ?I look forward
to seeing the innovative prototypes students develop and hope this
challenge inspires our next generation of American space explorers.?
Investors predict that space will be the next trillion-dollar industry,
and as missions in space continue to expand, so do the career opportun-
ities. This multi-phase challenge offers high school students across
the United States the chance to build CubeSat prototypes while learning
creative, collaborative, and technical skills for 21st century careers.
Schools interested in entering CTE Mission: CubeSat should form a team
and submit a mission proposal by 5:59 p.m. ET, on Oct. 16, 2020 ? no
in-person collaboration or prior experience with CubeSats is required.
The online submission form asks for school information, a team profile,
a project proposal, and anticipated learning outcomes. Curated educa-
tional resources are available to students and teachers online in the
CTE Mission: CubeSat resource hub. To learn more, schools can join a
virtual information session on Sept. 1.
Up to five finalists will be selected to receive prizes and participate
in Phase 2, which runs from January to May 2021. Finalists will have
access to expert mentorship and additional virtual resources as they
build CubeSat prototypes and plan flight events to launch their proto-
types. The Department understands that due to current conditions,
schools will need flexibility to safely collaborate when designing and
building prototypes during the challenge. The Department looks forward
to the creative solutions in the mission proposals it receives as
challenge entries.
Each finalist will receive an equal share of the $25,000 cash prize
pool, as well as satellite development, hardware, and software kits.
Challenge sponsors include Arduino, Blue Origin, Chevron, EnduroSat,
LEGO Education, Magnitude.io, MIT Media Lab, and XinaBox.
?Developing a CubeSat prototype is an opportunity for students to learn
competitive skills and explore a wide range of careers in space ? or
their own communities,? said Assistant Secretary for Career, Technical,
and Adult Education Scott Stump. ?Through CTE Mission: CubeSat, we aim
to bring students new learning opportunities to build valuable techni-
cal skills for in-demand and rewarding careers.?

Amateur License Fee Proposal From FCC
The FCC has published a proposal to reinstate a $50 fee for new
licenses, renewal and upgrades to existing licenses, and vanity call
sign requests. Excluded are applications for administrative updates,
such as changes of address, and annual regulatory fees. The The FCC
proposal is contained in a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) in MD
Docket 20-270. The ARRL team in Newington and Washington D.C. are
crafting a response to the NPRM. The ARRL is committed to opposing all
fees for any aspect of the amateur radio service. Deadlines for
comments and reply comments will be determined once the NPRM appears in
the Federal Register. File comments by using the FCC?s Electronic
Comment Filing System (ECFS), posting to MD Docket No. 20-270. This
docket is already open for accepting comments even though deadlines
have not yet been set. For more information see https://bit.ly/3hyNQuB

AO-92 (FOX-1D) Reverting to Safe Mode
AO-92 has been experiencing low battery voltage during many night time
passes over the last several weeks. While the satellite is in eclipse
voltage has been dropping low enough (3.6v IIRC) to cause an automatic
shift to safe mode. It emerges from eclipse toward the end of night
passes over North America and the transponder will then switch on, us-
ually with a minute or two remaining in the pass. As we move to winter
in the northern hemisphere, the end of the eclipse should shift over
the pole and to the beginning of the descending part of the orbit, and
this issue should change for at least the northern hemisphere ops.

GRBAlpha Frequency Coordination Completed
The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) has approved frequency co-
ordination for GRBAlpha, a 1U CubeSat built by students at the Techni-
cal University of Kosice, Slovakia, with contribution by students in
Hungary and Japan. In addition to a gamma ray sensor, the satellite
will have a digipeater functionality with 4k8 or 9k6 GFSK AX25 down-
links. A downlink on 437.025 MHz and an uplink on 145.905 MHz have been
coordinated. Launch should take place in the third quarter of 2020 from
Baikonur into a 600 kmm Sun-Synchronous Orbit. For more information

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ NASA will broadcast a Space Launch System (SLS) rocket full-scale
booster test at 2:40 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 2, on NASA Television
and the agency?s website, followed by a media teleconference. The
Flight Support Booster-1 test builds on three full-scale development
test firings and two qualification test firings NASA and Northrop
Grumman successfully completed with the five-segment solid rocket
motor in preparation for the first three Artemis missions.

+ OSIRIS-REx just performed its last dress rehearsal before gathering
a sample from asteroid Bennu in October. This dress rehearsal maneu-
ver took the craft down to 40 m and resulted in high resolution
images of the site. October?s sampling maneuver will use optical nav-
igation to slowly bring the craft down, with minimal thruster firings
to avoid contaminating the surface with hydrazine propellant. The
craft will briefly touch down, dissipating momentum in the spring-
loaded Touce AMSAT Office for additional student membership

< but I'm wondering if the?marker would be sufficient evidence?? Depends who
placed it, I suppose?>?I live near the intersection of 4 grids. It is in a
subdivision. There is a bronze marker placed near the curb, explaining the
meaning of the grid lines and longitude and latitude. BUT, the actual
intersection is across the street, in someone's front yard, not at the curb,
where the plaque is placed. You have to rely on your GPS, or one of several
grid mapping programs that you can enlarge and do a print screen. Both will
work. I use a hand held GPS for this and also for geocaching. Brad KC9UQR

I know about the Itar limits, but the fact that some manufacturers
implemented the limits as altitude AND velocity while others did it as
altitude OR velocity was certainly arbitrary.
I didn?t know that these limits had been removed entirely, that?s good news.
I?d noticed that the kiwi sdr has an open GPS receiver in it, which got me
thinking about extracting and using it independently.

I believe the Missile Technology Control Regime, a 35 nation informal
agreement, not a treaty, was updated in 2016 to limit civilian GPS system
speed two 600 meters per second, and to exclude from consumer equipment
those GPS designed for missiles and autonomous aircraft carrying more than
500 kg payload.
How or whether each country implements this is entirely up to them.
I have a feeling there might still be a regulation in the EAR. But I
haven't found it yet.

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
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
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
more information, see www.ariss.org.
