As you may be aware AMSAT-NA?s Fox-1A satellite is planned for launch on
the morning of October 8th. We would like to set your expectations about
what will be going on in the days immediately following the launch.
*Keplerian Elements: * We will provide the Keplerian elements (aka Keps or
TLEs) to enable you to track Fox-1a as soon after launch as we get them
(and are cleared to release them). The information will be placed on
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt and on the main
AMSAT page at http://www.amsat.org . We have no control over when we can
release the information, although we hope it will be within hours of the
satellite deployment.
*Initial Commissioning Period:* Initially the transponder will not be on
and will not respond to uplinks. *Please do not attempt to uplink while we
check out the satellite and commission it*. We will publicize when we have
opened the transponder to general use. You should expect the checkout
phase to last for a minimum of several days and possibly for several weeks.
*What To Listen For:* During the initial checkout period and when the
satellite is in range, every two minutes you will generally hear about 5
seconds of data followed by a few seconds of a voice ID (and possibly a
second data packet). You may occasionally hear 'data' mode which Chris,
G0KLA, has famously described as sounding like an old-fashioned telephone
modem. If you should happen to hear what appear to be QSOs, please resist
the temptation to join in before the commissioning period is over.
*Please Send Telemetry Reports and Data: *We would love to have you collect
and upload as much data as you can, and to give any other kind of report on
the amsat-bb mailing list (which some of the Fox team will monitor). You
can also report hearing or not hearing it on http://www.amsat.org/status/
You can upload data using the FoxTelem telemetry program that we recently
released. (Check the "upload to server" box in the properties/preference
page). More data will help us do the checkout faster! Remember if you
hear the ?telephone modem? sound, you must switch FoxTelem to high-speed
mode manually. Similarly FoxTelem must be in low-speed mode at other times.
We are planning a special award to the person who submits the first data
from the satellite (by which we mean the earliest downlinked mission
elapsed time), so get your rigs ready!

Hi Burns.
Good luck for a successful launch
I understand the launch most likely will be heading south (ish) from the
launch site and a time has been announced
Is there an inclination and altitude / mm available for FOX-1A?
Thanks

They work here, but keep in mind that those preliminary keps only
approximate the perigee, apogee, and inclination of the expected orbit
and are not at all useful for post-launch tracking.

Bruce,
They work fine for me. Just make certain that you are pasting unformatted.
As Paul mentioned, those
Keps are over 2 years old, created from the nominal orbit parameters, and
are only useful for getting
an idea of what the typical coverage will look like, so I wouldn't worry
much if they don't work for
you.

Good news - looks like Fox-1A will be launched tomorrow.
Bad news - Don't try to work it immediately. (grin)
Wait for word from AMSAT engineers when it is ready for us to
work it. Keplerian data will be forthcoming, too, from AMSAT-NA.
But the bird needs to be "set up" - and even if you think you hear
something from it in the next few days, please do NOT try to access
it until we are told we can - you may interrupt a control operator's
access to the satellite.
