Am I correct in understanding the Uplink frequency shifted to 435.170?
I just followed a low angle pass on Orbitron and used 435.170 as the Uplink
frequency. With that data entered, the transmit doppler started around
435.162 and ended at 435.175782.
So, basically the following three frequencies should do it for getting in;
435.165, 435.170, and 435.175.
Thoughts?

That has been the observation I have heard from many users.
We (AMSAT) plan to test the frequency of the Fox-1Cliff and D receivers
at temperatures of 15C and 25C, perhaps higher. Fox-1A thermal design
indicated that it would operate around 0C average so the transmitter and
receiver were calibrated for that temperature. Once we know what the
frequency is at these higher temperatures, we will share that in order
to help you all find the best uplink frequency for AO-85.

Managed to get 4 more telemetry packets from LilacSat-2 tonight. Location
was not good (trees, etc.) so even though 4 isn't a lot, I was happy to get
anything at all. Having all kinds of fun with that little Arrow antenna.
Should have bought one of those a long time ago.
If there was any voice traffic, I was not able to copy it. The
pre-configured software made available by the Chinese project team does feed
audio to the speaker, but my guess is that they have optimized it for data.
The last time I was able to coordinate my schedule with a fly-over, I did
hear the audio more clearly but my location was also much better.
There are not a lot of "contributor" names on their website
(http://lilacsat.hit.edu.cn/lilac_en/pages/allCon.html), so I'll bet they
would appreciate more help.
Not that more conventional cubesat telemetry with Windows apps is
necessarily the easiest thing in the world to do, but if you want a fun
challenge, get a copy of the bootable system that the LilacSat team has put
online. I'm one of those people who said I would NEVER venture into GNU
Radio, but heck... if someone wants to completely pre-configure it for me, I
can't think of a better way to learn.
The original download link had issues; you can get a copy from one of the
better links that they list here:
http://lilacsat.hit.edu.cn/?page_id=257
... I believe I used the DropBox link.
If you are not comfortable creating a bootable flash drive from an image,
I'll bet you know someone who is familiar with the process. Of course there
is always help online & I'm glad to help since I have it up and running. (be
sure to create the "persistent" type of drive so that your settings are saved)

FoxTelem 1.01 Released
Version 1.01 of FoxTelem is being released. You can download it from:
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/windows
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/mac
http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/linux
This is a patch release. If you already have 1.00 installed then download
the file FoxTelem_1.01_patch.zip
Only two files have changed (plus the manual). Copy these files into your
install directory
- FoxTelem.jar
- spacecraft/FOX1A_radtelemetry2.csv
You can also download the whole install file and install it in a new
directory.
You can use the settings menu to continue using your existing log
files. Ask if you need
assistance.
Lots has changed in this release and many bugs have been fixed. Please
report
any issues that you see.
Release notes:
* Send the frames to both primary and secondary server, if required
* Set the default fcd frequency to 145930 so that Fox-1A, Fox-1Cliff
and Fox-1D
will be in the passband
* Allow user to select UDP or TCP for upload to the server (but use
UDP for now
please)
* Shorten the period between passes so that graphs look continuous
* Ignore duplicate high speed radiation frames - needed for processing
data
from the server
* Do not change the FCD LNA or Mixer Gain. Leave unchanged.
* Do not open the FCD unless the start button is pressed
* Allow graphs to be hidden so that average or deriv is easier to see
* Fixed a bug where the last 2 bytes of the radiation telemetry were not
decoded correctly
* Allow Vanderbilt radiation experiment to be graphed
* Allow the gain to be set on the FCD (rather than hard coded)
* Notify the user when a new release is available
* Astro Pi Launch Changed

ARISS-US Proposal Deadline Approaching
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 and December 31, 2016.
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 1, 2015.
The last of the information sessions will be offered Wednesday,
September 30,
at 2300 UTC. Advance registration is necessary. E-mail ARISS
(ariss@xxxx.xxxx to
sign up.
More Information
Interested parties can find more information about the program at
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.
For proposal information and more details such as expectations,
proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of
Information Sessions go to http://www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-
contact. Please direct any questions to ariss@xxxx.xxx

2016 CubeSat Launch Initiative Opportunity
NASA has opened the next round of its CubeSat Launch Initiative to
engage the
growing community of space enthusiasts that can contribute to NASA's space
exploration goals.
The CubeSat Launch Initiative gives students, teachers and faculty a
chance to
get hands-on flight hardware development experience in the process of
designing,
building and operating small research satellites. The initiative also
provides a
low-cost pathway to space for research in the areas of science, exploration,
technology development, education or operations consistent with NASA's
Strategic
Plan.
Applicants must submit their proposals electronically by 4:30 p.m. EST,
Nov. 24,
2015. NASA plans to select the payloads by Feb. 19, 2016, but selection
does not
guarantee a launch opportunity. Selected experiments will fly as auxiliary
payloads on agency rocket launches or be deployed from the International
Space
Station beginning in 2016 and running through 2019. NASA does not provide
funding for the development of the small satellites, and this opportunity is
open only to U.S. nonpro?t organizations and accredited educational
organizations.
For additional information about this opportunity and NASA's CubeSat Launch
Initiative, visit

SAREX Reflector to be Closed 1 November 2015
At the request of the ARISS US Team, AMSAT-NA Vice President for Human
Spaceflight Frank Bauer, KA3HDO has announced that the SAREX reflector
will be
closed 1 November 2015, and its functions folded into the AMSAT-BB list.
Frank
explained that at one time operations from the Space Shuttle and the ISS
were
considered as sufficiently different from other satellite operations as
to need
separate forums for their respective interest communities. More recently,
changes in the human spaceflight operations, the new generation of
satellites,
and the interests of the general AMSAT community have removed the
reasons for
this distinction.
What does this mean to the current subscribers? If you are subscribed to
both
SAREX and AMSAT-BB, there is no need to take any action. You will cease to
receive new postings on the SAREX list 1 November 2015, which will now
be made
on AMSAT-BB. The SAREX archives will continue to be available for historical
purposes. If you are not subscribed to AMSAT-BB and wish to continue to
receive
human spaceflight announcements, please go to
http://www.amsat.org/mailman/listinfo and subscribe to AMSAT-BB. Your
existing
SAREX subscription will not be automatically carried over since not everyone
will wish to do so.

Astro Pi Launch Changed
Two specially augmented Raspberry Pi?s called Astro Pi?s were planned to fly
with UK astronaut Tim Peake KG5BVI to the International Space Station
(ISS) on
December 15.
On the ISS the Astro Pi?s are planned to run experimental Python programs
written by school-age students; the results will be downloaded back to
Earth and
made available online for all to see. It is hoped that subsequently one
of them
will be used to provide a video source for the amateur radio HamTV
transmitter
in the ISS Columbus module.
It appears the amount of cargo on Tim?s Soyuz flight was overbooked so
the Astro
Pi?s will instead fly to the ISS on an Orbital Sciences? Cygnus cargo
freighter.
The launch is currently planned for December 3 at 22:48 UT on an Atlas V
rocket
from Cape Canaveral AFS in Florida.

Hi!
I am about to go to my yard for one more AO-85 pass,
around 0840 UTC (0140 PDT) tonight. It is nice outside,
and I am still awake. If anyone is on, please feel free
to call me. Otherwise, I plan on trying different transmit
power levels, narrow vs. wide FM, & various power levels,
all while making an RF recording from my SDRplay and HDSDR
receive setup. After the pass, a telemetry upload before
calling it a (late) night, and another upload to Logbook
of the World for my QSOs during the day and this evening.

Delfi-C3 RASCAL does that, and its now in its 7th+ year in space.
Also, the FUNcube dashboard can do it, albeit in a slightly convoluted way
if you close the program in between. (Save the pass and replay it when you
have an internet connection)
If you leave the program running and restore the internet connection it
will automatically pick up where it left off.
I am sure many other telemetry clients will have similar features, that may
or may not be obvious to the user.

Hello all.
I seem to have a wee problem with working Ao-73. The problem I cant work
it at all. I am hearing people talking but when I attempt to find my
downlink nothing heard. I have tried sending cw up and tuning downlink
and also tuning uplink and nothing. I have set up tuning for 145.950
down and 435.150 up. Am missing something here?
I spoke to my good friend and very good Sat operator Derrick Gm0fmw and
he also cant access it with a fairly good antenna set-up. We are both in
Edinburgh Scotland Is this the problem?
Please all help will be appreciated .
Thanks Kev MM0KJG

Kev,
Sorry.
Mis-read your mail
Though you meant AO-85.

Kev,
Looking at the last pass over VK, 145.950 is not within the pass-band.
Try 145.960 which is more central to the pass-band.
Not sure of uplink frequencies though.
Colin VK5HI.

After working with AO-73 since its launch, I've noticed that the actual
uplink frequency is vastly different from the published value, and I'm not
the only person to have reported this. I have asked the UK team multiple
times to verify the uplink/downlink ratio, but they have never published an
update. The end result is that new users can't find themselves on AO-73.
Here is my Doppler.sqf file entry for AO-73. and comments that the required
correction is about 18 KHz higher than the published values.
?AO-73,145957.52,435160.48,CW,CW,REV,,, Transponder?
Note that the published figures says that 145.957.5 should be about
435.142.5, so my correction value is about 18 KHz higher than published
values.
I would recommend that you try setting your uplink much higher and see if
you can find yourself.
