No. EO-79's telemetry is from the primary transceiver on board and is in a
different format. It's FUNcube payload does not include the FUNcube
telemetry system, just the transponder.

Hi all,
Mike DK3WN has some nice decoding software for the telemetry from this
spacecraft.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Coll?ge Michel Lotte, Le Palais, France on 28 Nov. The event
is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:38 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 LU1CGB. The contact should be audible over
portions of Argentina and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in French.
Belle-Ile-en-mer (Belle Isle) is a French island off the coast of Brittany
in the d?partement of Morbihan, and the largest of Brittany's islands in the
Atlantic Ocean. The island measures 17 km by 9 km, and the main port is Le
Palais. Michel LOTTE Junior High School is a small insular state school.
It's thus isolated and in charge of training 160 pupils aged between 11 and
15 (6th grade to 9th grade), all living in the island.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Est-ce que le d?collage depuis la Terre est difficile?
2. Quelles sensations avez-vous eu en quittant la Terre?
3. Quel est votre r?le dans la station?
4. L'apesanteur est-elle fatigante?
5. Que faites-vous pendant votre temps libre?
6. Combien de temps dormez-vous en moyenne?
7. R?vez-vous dans l'espace?
8. Quelles sont vos activit?s pr?f?r?es?
9. A votre retour, accepteriez-vous de venir nous rencontrer ? Belle-Ile?
10. Qui fera les 4 EVA (Sorties extra-v?hiculaires)?
11. Comment communiquez-vous avec votre famille?
12. Qu'avez-vous comme risques ? sortir ? l'ext?rieur de la station lors des
EVA (Sorties extra-v?hiculaires)?
13. Comment vous soignez-vous si vous tombez malade?
14. Comment votre corps r?agit-il dans l'espace?
15. Quelle quantit? de nourriture avez-vous emport? pour six mois?
16. Faut-il beaucoup d'entra?nement pour se pr?parer afin d'aller dans
l'espace?
17. Qu'est-ce qui vous pla?t le plus dans l'espace?
18. Comment faites-vous pour recycler vos d?chets?
19. Comment vous procurez-vous de l'eau potable?
20. Combien de temps mettez-vous pour redescendre sur Terre?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Frank,
Glad you enjoyed the symposium at sea. We would not have come as my
wife is adverse to taking cruise ships, but the cost would be higher
for us from Alaska (flying for two to Houston would be about $1600 on
top of the cruise/symposium costs).
I last attended Symposium in 2001 in Atlanta but was single then so
costs nearly half what it costs for both of us. We attended SVHF
Conference in Atlanta in 2014 and it cost about $2200 to attend. We
combined the trip with visiting family in MI so the flight from
Detroit only added $600 plus luggage charges. Anch-Detroit cost
$1600. Plus hotels, meals, and taking the L from airport to
hotel. Total vacation costs $4000 for 14-days.
Had we signed up it would have been a disappointment having Cozumel
dropped. But cruises are "out" as I said, before.
Most of my post-AO-40 activity has been in eme and not satellite, but
with possibility of new high altitude missions we may come back top
satellite (helping out with P4/P5 design group in minor way). I am a
mw enabled ham so looking forward to the new sats. In meantime have
acquired a FT-736R and may get my AO-40 antennas back in use with
current crop in the interim.
Symposium is always scheduled in Oct. so possible conflict with ARRL
EME Contest plus flying in winter conditions up here complicate
attending. We will be starting to do extended travel with RV next
summer in lower-48 so may hear from our sat-capable mobile (track us
via APRS). But RV needs to arrive home by end of Sept. to avoid
potential winter roads on northern end of the road. Travel season is
Mid-may - end-Sept for Alaskans (and visitors).

I had a fantastic time at the AMSAT Symposium at Sea. I would go again
next year if a cruise is offered. How about a cruise out of a Florida
port. I learned a lot, had a great time meeting operators face to face
that I had only talked to on the birds. Had fun in Progresso. Made a
dozen QSO's from rare grids to make the operators who stayed home happy.
I went to the Baltimore Symposium two years ago and spent at least as
much money as the cruise trip all expenses included. I enjoyed the
Baltimore trip, but there was more opportunity to get to know the other
AMSAT members on the cruise and exchange ideas.
A big thank you to Clayton, W5PFG, and his symposium committee and the
AMSAT Board of Directors for believing in the idea and backing it.
As far as furthering the fund raising for AMSAT the venue of the
symposium has minimal impact on attracting additional dollars. I have
to believe a symposium on a cruise ship costs AMSAT less that at a
tradition hotel.
Attracting additional members will of course increase the income.
Getting hams exciting about working the satellites will increase
membership.
The funding model for most large dxpeditions is half from the operators
going on the expedition and the other half from fundraising from the ham
community and corporate sponsors. AMSAT is working on the corporate
donors. If every AMSAT member was a member of the President's Club at
what ever level they can afford that would sure help the deficit. No
hobby is inexpensive. Have you checked on the cost of a golf membership
lately.
I for one think AMSAT is a terrific organization and hope the future is
bright.

Definitely want to echo Frank's comments on the cruise, and the thanks to
Clayton, W5PFG, the organizing committee, and AMSAT BoD. I especially
appreciate his efforts to get my radio through port security and his
ability to adapt and improvise to all the challenges that came up, and keep
smiling through it all.
This was my first AMSAT Symposium: I learned a great deal, and enjoyed
meeting some of the people behind the call signs exchanged via satellite.
I also enjoyed the challenge of making contacts at sea.
By land or by sea, I look forward to attending future Symposia.

Well stated Frank. I for one would certainly vote to host a Symposium on a
cruise ship again. Not next year but maybe within the next few? In any event
it was truly enjoyable experience. I learned so much from the presentations.
The passion of those behind the scenes with AMSAT-NA was inspiring.
Thank-you to Clayton for taking the chance and stepping outside of the box
with this event.

If every AMSAT member was a member of the President's Club at what ever
level they can afford that would sure help the deficit. No hobby is
inexpensive. Have you checked on the cost of a golf membership lately.

Schedule

Today's activities got cut short due to snow. It started coming down
heavy and I had a long drive so I cut out early. Tomorrow I make up for
the lost day when the highway was closed. Schedule below.
FN07
SO-50 13:31
FO-29 14:20
AO-73 14:25
EN97/98 & FN08
FO-29 16:03
AO-07 17:31
AO-85 17:33
AO-85 19:14
AO-07 19:20
AO-07 21:15
XW-2C 21:45
XW-2F 22:34
XW-2C 23:19
XW-2A 23:30
FN07
AO-73 01:23
AO-73 03:01
SO-50 03:47
Note: I will give priority to AO-85 at 1914 and miss part or all of
AO-7 at 1920 if need be.
There are some roads around the junction of the four grids that may
allow me to cover three of them without moving around a lot. If it
doesn't work out then I have to do some extra driving and will miss one
or two of the passes in the middle group. However, this time I'll be
able to post updates to Twitter so stay tuned.
73,
Ken
