Don't forget that you can download data from AO-73 off of the amsat-uk
website. Their data is great for looking at temperature increase and
decrease, spin rate, voltage changes in the solar panels as the
satellite goes between light and dark, and how the battery discharges
during the dark periods. Easy access and good teaching material.

Steve,
Every little byte counts! One of the things about the AMSAT Shallow Space
Network is that you may
well be the only person to capture a particular block of information. Our
university partners are
amazed and impressed at the quality and quantity of data being received.

I have for sale an Icom 821H 2m/70cm all mode satellite radio. This rig is
working fine on UHF (35 to 40 watts out) but is putting out lower power on
2m-10 watts on FM/CW and 3 watts or so on SSB. It has the tone encoder
built in, built in keyer, and it covers 144-148mhz and 430-450mhz so you
can use it on FM repeaters as well as the SSB/CW portions of the band.
Not sure why it is putting out low power on 2m, but it is an excellent UHF
all mode radio, and you can use it with an amp on 2m if you want also. Does
dual receive, and full duplex for satellite operations.
It is in good physical condition and comes with a mic and power cord. I am
asking $350 shipped for it and can take paypal/check/MO.

Our kid demo of orbits uses a large globe. We hang a small golfball
satellite on a string from the ceiling. There are several demos we like:
1) Center the globe under the string and the golf ball sticks to the
globe. (gravity)
2) Try to push the ball in a circle. If you get a perfect circle or a big
enough one, you will have an orbit and not hit the earth.
3) If you have too much vector "up" in any one direction (not circular)
then on the next pass it crashes into earth.. (all orbits are elipses and
you don't want part of your ellipse to run into the earth.
4) Now move the earth about a radius or diameter away from under the
string. Now try to launch an elliptical orbit where the ball just grazes
the earth at perigee and goes way out at apogee. You can get a nice
Molnya orbit.
5) For GEO transfer, we had a mark on the floor and a mark out 5 earth
radii where we had a little tiny bowling pin on a pedestal. Here the
object was to launch the ball from behind the earth so that it would go
out and intersect the bowling pin and knock it off. Thus demonstrating a
transfer orbit to GEO.
No, this is not the same physics of a central force (gravity) driving
Keplers laws, but it is a perfect demo of circular and elliptical paths.
For example in this case, the orbital speed is the same at perigee and
apogee (non Keplerian), but still it is an elliptical path with the earth
at one foci...
Kids love it. Especially #5 is a real challenge. And even #1 is hard if
you are trying to orbit only 1 inch above a 24" diameter earth globe.
Do not use an expensive valuable globe (from your wife for example)
because there will be LOTS of crashes from bad "orbits"...

#5 Sounds fun as well as challenging. Like the old saying goes "Space is

Want to put a smile on a satellite? When you make your purchases from
Amazon, you can select a charity and Amazon will donate .5% of a
qualified purchase towards your selected charity. AMSAT (Radio Amateur
Satellite Corporation) is registered with Amazon Smile and you can
select it as your preferred charity which in turn will put a smile on
our satellite efforts :-)
Once you have selected your Amazon Smile charity, when you go to
amazon.com, it will remind you to go to smile.amazon.com. However, you
can put everything you want in your cart at the original amazon.com
site, then leave the site and go to smile.amazon.com and all your items
will still be in your cart and make the purchase there. Or, just go to
smile.amazon.com all the time. Your choice, only thing is if you forgot
to pay at smile.amazon.com, AMSAT gets a goose egg instead of help
towards a new satellite.
Remember, Smile dot amazon.com and select Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation as your charity of choice.

Message-ID: <77848cd57998aecec6b1b557f588a119@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
For charging 7v NiCd from 4.8v:
We came up with a simple circuit to use the cheap DC/DC boost regulators to
boost 4.8v solar panels to 7 volts for our NiCd charging.
http://aprs.org/psat/Cubesat-solar-boost-charger-bob-a.doc
You cannot just use the DC/DC boost regulator directly because it has a
peak-starting-current which cannot be met with a solar panel. So we added
a transistor load switch to hold off the load until after the regulator was
started? Works like a champ at near 80% efficiency.
I?m sure there are lots of circuits and parts, but this little circuit more
or less worked the first time, so we are going with it.

Are you an eBay seller? One item, ten items, or a full-time business you
can donate a percentage of your winning bid to AMSAT. To do so, do not
list your item with the basic listing tool, select advanced tools. eBay
will give you a warning message that it is for large volume sellers,
however this is where the eBay for Charity tool is found.
You can 'select another nonprofit you love' and search for either AMSAT
or Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation. Choose the percentage amount of
the sale you would like to donate to AMSAT and boom. When your item
sells and the winning bidder pays, eBay will deduct the percentage from
your take and forward it to AMSAT.
Sometimes we are getting rid of our old equipment, sometimes selling
something new. In any case, won't you consider giving a piece of the pie
to a new satellite and choose AMSAT for your eBay for Charity.
