Here are a few more solar factoids (for your mobile satellite operations):
The solar panel area to fully power the average American commuter car (EV)
for the average 12,000 miles per year is about 150 sqft (a 3 kW array)
Amazingly, the area of a typical car parking space is also about 150 sqft.
So all one needs to do is cover their car parking space with solar panels
and have free local transportation energy for LIFE. And amazingly enough,
each car in America has at least 5 parking spaces for it. One at home, one
on the street, one at work, one at church, one at shopping and sports
venus, etc... so all you need is just one to be covered in solar panels
and we have carbon free local transportation (12,000 miles a year for free
and for l life).
See: http://insideevs.com/design-relationship-between-electric-cars-solar/
In addition, The supply chain from the roof of the carport (also providing
shade to the car below it) is about 30 feet and is over 85% efficient, and
you own it and no one can take it away or change the costs on you at any
time.
Compare this to the 8000 mile supply chain from oil well to your gas tank,
where there are dozens of risky greedy players in the middle and where only
20% of the energy actually gets to your car.
So it is no coincidence that now almost every car manufacturer is seeing
the light and is now building an EV (there are over 30 on the market
now*). They may not be advertising them because they make higher profit
margins on selling gas cars to gullible buyers, but they are positioning
themselves for when consumers wake up and also see the light for their
local transportation needs.
BMW has already said that all of their cars will be electric (or hybrid)
within 10 years.
For your mobile satellite station, however, this does not say to cover the
roof of your car with solar (unless it is a flat RV or van) because the
mobile satellite station is only in use about an hour a day while the
parking SPACE with SOLAR panels is operating sun-up-to-sun-down and flat
panels cost only 10% of ones that can bend a little. Plus the full
dimensions of a "parking space" is actually more than 10 times the surface
area of the small center portion of the roof of a car. So the cost
effectiveness of solar on the car is about 10% of 10% or about 1% the
effectiveness of having them on your car port.
Besides, keeping the roof clear for antennas is more important anyway.

Thanks, Mike. I vaguely remember that something changed between 'b' and
'c' that required you to check the RTS box. I assume that 'b' and earlier
did it in software, but I could never find it after I read it a few weeks
ago.

Middle School, Blackstone, Massachusetts
Message-ID: <0B1143D4935D4EAF9D0F1A34E63A2073@xxx>

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Frederick W. Harnett Middle School, Blackstone, Massachusetts
on 05 Jan. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 17:42 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 K6DUE. The contact should
be audible over the east coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in English.
Frederick W. Hartnett Middle School is a vibrant school in the central
Massachusetts town of Blackstone, adjacent to Rhode Island's northern
border. It houses sixth through eighth grades for the regional school
district that serves the towns of Blackstone and Millville. This is a
quiet, somewhat suburban to rural area where most town residents choose to
remain to raise their own families. The major landform in the area is the
Blackstone River, which runs southeast through our towns. Because of this
river, like many New England towns, these areas were prominent mill towns
in the late industrial era, and our landscape is dotted with old mills near
the river, many which have been repurposed for factory work, storage or
condo living.
Our regional school district has two elementary schools, one middle school,
and one high school. Our ten-year-old building was built to keep our
students up-to-date with technology. We are proud to say that we have 5
computer labs and a STEM program for each grade. It is our sixth-grade
students who will be asking the questions to the chosen ARISS astronaut.
Sixth graders have just completed an extensive set of lessons about the ISS,
its mission, the country partners who sponsor and keep the ISS going, its
components, astronauts, some of the science happening on board, and a little
bit about astronaut training. Earlier in the school year, they learned about
our Universe, its history, the formation and the lives of stars and
galaxies, our Sun and its solar system and Earth's place in all of this.
Students are very excited to have this opportunity to speak with an ISS
astronaut. In our classes, we often follow the path of the ISS, and we watch
the Earth from the High Definition Earth Viewing System (HDEV) cameras
placed on the ISS. We watched today's Soyuz TMA-19M launch and ISS docking,
bringing the three new crew members for Expedition 46. We have also had
some very successful ISS viewing parties where students returned to school
with their parents after dark to view the ISS when it passed overhead. We
know you astronauts can't see us, but we waved anyway!
Thank you ARISS, NASA, ESA and all the ISS partners, our ARISS helpers
Charlie Sufana and David Taylor, and all the astronauts who have
participated in this great program which gives so many students a glimpse
into and a personal connection with the science of space exploration and
communication, on Earth and in space!
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What is your favorite ISS food? Do you try food/meals from other
astronaut teams?
2. Is the oxygen you breathe on the ISS recycled, made or brought up by
supply missions?
3. Does the ISS make noise? What causes the noise and how do you deal with
it?
4. On the ISS, do you eat more or less than you did on Earth?
What types of fresh food do you get from the supply missions?
5. What fun activities do you do in space?
6. How do you wash your clothes? What is the room temperature on the ISS?
7. What was the strangest experience you've been through in space?
8. Do you get to bring one or more personal possessions to the ISS for your
time in space? What did you bring?
9. What inspired you to be an astronaut? When did you realize this?
10. How is sleeping in microgravity different in space? Is it a restful
sleep?
11. What are some dangers of being on the ISS?
12. Are you on Twitter? Would you be able to send out a tweet either saying
hello to us, or saying that you spoke to FWHMS here in Blackstone
Massachusetts?
13. What type of tools do you use on a spacewalk? Where do you keep them
while working?
14. What jobs or tasks do you do daily on the ISS?
15. What is your favorite place to be on the ISS? Why?
16. How long does it take for an astronaut to regain their strength, muscle,
and bone health once they are back here on Earth?
17. I am a seventh grader. I choose a virtual middle school course called
Space Station Academy. In this course we learned about how scientists
study Earth from space and how the human body reacts to space in
microgravity. I want to know how your body reacted when you first went
into space. Did you get a bad headward fluid shift (space headache) or
have the feeling of nausea?
18. I know astronauts bones become more fragile the longer they are in space
due to the lack gravity, so you exercise extensively each day to
counteract that. Do your bones feel any weaker or different now that you
have been up for a few weeks?
19. Will popcorn pop in space? Do you have popcorn as a snack on the ISS?
20. Is there anything from Earth that you miss because you can't get it or
you can't accomplish it on the ISS?
21. How much free time do you get? What do you do with your free time?
22. T. Peake - How will your London marathon run on the ISS be different
than running in London? How will it be similar?
23. Have you or your fellow astronauts ever been injured in space? What
would happen if someone became seriously injured or became ill?

Good stuff, Burns.
Also, for those that use HRD, remember, SATPC32 will not make CAT connection
while HRD is running. (If you wanted to view the better graphics that are in
the Sat portion of HRD, you can start and run the Sat program by itself
without starting HRD. Just pull the shortcut from windows)

Subject: [amsat-bb] Some DUMB hints about using SatPC32 computer aided

I had CAT working once upon a time, but recently it has not. I don't know
what I changed when, but I could not get it to work at all until I spent
several hours trying different things, and finally found the (duh) really
dumb problems.
1) I have a TS2000. I'm pretty sure that I saw somewhere that you have to
check the +12VRTS check box in Setup/Radio to make it work for the latest
version of SatPC32. I'm not sure if it has to be, but it works when it IS
checked.
2) Check the serial cable. I had the right one, and knew that I did (it
generally wants straight through, not null modem). But apparently somewhere
along the line a connector had come loose. Tighten them all down!
3) And here is the penultimate killer: In the Setup/Radio dialog box, when
you check your manufacturer, you'll see to the right a "Model" label and a
pull down to say what model of radio you have. But that "label" is actually
a pulldown too. Select "baudrate" instead of "Model" and SET THE BAUDRATE.
(I was sure I had seen it somewhere and that I knew what I had set it too.
But I was wrong).
4) The ultimate killer in my case: The TS2000 needs to be power cycled
after you change its baudrate (menu 56 for those who care) before it takes
effect!
I hope this helps someone!

Burns W2BFJ

Hi Ted,
Why would you want to? HRD is far inferior to SatPC32 for satellite radio
control. There is no reason to run HRD and SatPC32. Everything you need for
satellite radio operation is and can be done by SatPC32. Now, in case you
actually have a reason to run them both at the same time.... YES..... you
can do it with a virtual serial port emulator like VSPE. Running just fine
(for testing purposes only, since I really don't need or use HRD ever for
satellites) on my IC-9100, Also, if you really like "pretty" graphics, I
would recommend Nova for Windows (if you are limited to Windows). For me,
an OSX user, MacDoppler rules! It is the best of SatPC32 for windows on a
Mac and more.
Hope this helps,
Stefan, VE4NSA

Sorry about the poor first attempt. I was operating orbit # 70107, the
0429UTC pass of SO-50. Callsign is KD9CFO and my gridsquare is EN51ju.
I only caught one call, but it was not the one that I heard repeat my
call. Thanks for acknowledging my presence (if you're on the list).
