Hi,
I confirm that no reception of Neutron-1 yet. However at the same day,
four more satellites were deployed from ISS that transmit at amateur
frequencies, Bobcat-1, SPOC, DESCENT (it doesn't beaconing) and
SATLLA-1(transmitting the proprietary modulation technique, LoRa).
Until now we have received only Bobcat-1 and SPOC.
For more updates there is an active discussion about this deployment at
Libre Space community forum[1] and also some generated TLE for tracking
some of these satellites.
73,
fredy

Resetting my sat list in SATpc32 and am confused with online info for XW2C and
XW2D sats. The AMSAT page for status show 2C kinda off and 2D on BUT in the
sat
description it is the other way around.
Which one is workable...I know one is 2 sec on 5 sec off.

I am using HPSDR and SDR Play as my receiver radio, and a Yaesu FT-857 for
my transmitter. I am looking for an easy way to switch the VHF and UHF
antennas to the appropriate radio. I have found a discussion on automating
this process with SatPC32 and a "coaxial transfer switch" but there is no
information on what switch to use for this. I don't need this to be
automated but I am looking for something better than manually swapping coax
cables.

ARISS Contact Applications (United States)
?
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 anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2021 and December 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 deadline to submit a proposal is November 24th, 2020. Proposal
information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and
the proposal form can be found at www.ariss.org. An ARISS Introductory
Webinar session will be held on October 8, 2020 at 8PM ET. The Eventbrite
link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2020.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.
?
Please direct any questions to?ariss.us.education@?????.???.
?
For future proposal information and more details such as expectations,
proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information
Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.
?
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.

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.

Please direct any questions to?ariss.us.education@?????.???.

proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information
Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

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.
