You also want to experiment with the LNA Gain and Mixer Gain. I set the
LNA Gain ON and the Mixer Gain OFF. Again that is needed to get a low
noise floor.

An interesting time for AO-85.
Looking at Nova, it seems the satellite has moved into an orbit without any
eclipse periods.
The telemetry will be interesting over the next few days.

Hi Pedro,
I have been looking at this, using some precision time and frequency
equipment to measure the
downlink. On today's pass at 1530 UTC it was running about 3 KHz below the
nominal frequency, AOS to
LOS. The magnitude of the difference has been increasing along with the
component operating
temperatures. It will be interesting to see whether that trend continues at
elevated temperatures.
Looking forward to this afternoon's passes.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
All seems now to be working again properly.
I removed the existing Novakeps.dat file and repaired the software from the
setup.exe programme. I then modified the internet keps update to only look
at the ftp://www.amsat.org/amsat/keps/current/nasabare.txt file. This is a
much smaller file than I had originally!
So far so good - after 24 hours operation the antennas are rotating properly
still

Hi All,
I have been a NOVA user for many years but I know find that, when it is set
up to drive the rotator to track FUNcube-1, at start up I get a Nova message
box that says ? List index out of bounds (0) " - this comes up immediately,
before the prog starts to update the keps, and the rotator operation is very
unreliable.
I am using W10 machine and a LVB tracker box with its built in USB
converter.
Any suggestions about a cure would be much appreciated...
thanks

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Scuola Media Statale "G. Marconi", Soleto, Lecce, Italy
on 23 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:21 UTC. It is
recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this
time. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK4KHZ. The contact
should be audible over portions of Australia and adjacent areas. Interested
parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is
expected to be conducted in English.
Scuola Media Statale "G. Marconi":
The Soleto state institute includes preschool, primary school and 1st grade
secondary school in the Cities of Soleto, Zollino, and Sternatia. A total of
811 students are attending in these three locations. There are 10 sections
of preschool, 20 of primary school and 12 of secondary school 1st grade
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How long do people train to become an astronaut?
2. At first, were you afraid of living on the space station?
3. Do astronauts get cabin fever while they're in orbit?
4. What are the objectives of your mission?
5. Why don't they place the moles on the comets surface?
6. About the veggie experiment, how many days does it take to grow salad and
what's its taste?
7. Is it true that clothes become garbage when used?
8. What time zone is used on the ISS?
9. How do they dispose of the rubbish?
10. Which is the best moment on a space day?
11. Is there space junk?
12. Do you like living with other six people?
13. Do you sleep in a sleeping bag or in a bed?
14. Have you got any problems on the ISS?
15. Do you bring a supply of additional food from earth?
16. What's your favorite planet?
17. How do you communicate with earth?
18. What are you doing on the station at the moment?
19. How do you wash your hair?
20. When did you start to enjoy astronomy?
21. In the USA a pensioner, the famous astronaut John Glenn, went into space
at the age of 69. wasn't he too old?
22. Which is the first place you want to see when you return home?
23. How expensive is going in space?
24. How has this experience changed your life?

Hi Dave!
Glad I could be helpful with some grids for your satellite
VUCC award!
Ever since ARRL fixed LOTW in 2011 to accept station locations
with more than 1 grid locator for those operating at grid
boundaries and intersections, I have put all of my logs
into that system. It took a lot of setup to get things ready
for my logs to go into LOTW, with (at the time) well over 100
different station locations I needed for my satellite operating.
I still need to define new station locations when I operate from
new locations, but that's not a big deal now. And I do try to
upload my logs quickly, as some have mentioned on Twitter - even
when I'm away from home.
For those that don't care for LOTW, and/or still like the paper
confirmation, I still print and send out QSL cards. Sometimes I
will preemptively send QSL cards out for my trips to different
grids, even to those who use LOTW and have received a confirmation
there. If you work me and want a QSL card, just e-mail me the
QSO details. If you're in the log, I'll drop a card your way.
Hope to get you more grids in the future. 73!

Hi All,
Just to confirm that, as usual, FUNcube-1 is now in permanent transponder
mode for the weekend. Tomorrow, Nov 21st, marks our second birthday in space
and an update about the mission has just been posted on the
http://funcube.org.uk/2015/11/20/the-second-birthday-of-funcube-1/ webpage
to celebrate this event.
The FUNcube team is really delighted to have reached this milestone with the
spacecraft continuing to perform pretty well perfectly. We are very grateful
to everyone who is continuing to download the telemetry and to forward the
data to our Data Warehouse. It is really valuable both to the Operations
team and for outreach purposes. Please keep this data flowing if you can and
if you know of any possible listening sites in out of the way places around
the globe we would be pleased to hear about them.
We are continuing to develop further enhancements of the ground software and
will be making further announcements about these as soon as we can.
Have FUN

Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.

Looking for something new to do? How about receiving DATV from the ISS?
