Does SatPC32 have a ?sun tracking? feature for indicating the Sun AZ/EL
like Instantrack did?
I use it frequently for sun noise measurements and for solar angle
calculations for solar system design.

Bob,
There is an auxiliary program in the SatPC32 folder called SuM.exe which
track both the sun and moon.

Thanks ALL! Found it (SuM.exe). But it won't let me easily slide around
in time.
So I just went back to my 20 year old copy of Instantrack, verified that
it gives same result as SuM and now I'm good.
I used IT to see how many hours of sun a south facing solar array would be
illuminated at what elevation angle.
For my latitude (39 degrees), I developed this table in about a minutes
work:
7 Hrs over +/-49 deg AZ above 10 deg EL
6 hrs over +/- 43 deg AZ above 14 deg EL
5 Hrs over +/- 37 deg AZ above 18 deg EL
4 Hrs over +/- 31 deg AZ above 21 deg EL
3 Hrs over +/- 24 deg AZ above 24 deg EL
To figure out where to top off some trees.

Bob,
for your purpose you could use SumListen.exe (also in the SatPC32
program folder). It outputs lists with azimuth and elevation of Sun and
Moon to the screen and/or printer for selectable increments and periods.

Danbury CT

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at South Street School, Danbury CT on 27 Jan. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 19:50 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.
There are two schools participating in this event; South Street Elementary
School and Westside Middle School Academy (WMSA).
Westside Middle School Academy offers students a unique opportunity to
partake in rigorous hands-on activities. There are two academies at
Westside, STEM and Global Studies. In the STEM academy, students take part
in engineering projects such as building small paper boats, designing escape
pods and launching weather balloons. Students also participate in the
Connecticut Invention Convention and Connecticut State Science Fair.
Teamwork is essential at Westside. Our teachers encourage us to go beyond
our limits and to give our best effort. In addition, Westside has a culture
of safety, respect and responsibility (S R 2), which ensures that all
students are learning in a safe environment. Finally, the diversity of our
school community enhances the learning experience for all students.
South Street School is one of 13 elementary schools in the city of Danbury.
The staff of South Street prides themselves on the diversity of the school
as it compares to the rest of the district as well as the state. The state
average for Hispanic students making up the school population is 22.1%,
South Street boasts a solid 64.5% Hispanic population. The "Melting Pot"
community that is found at the school allows for an incredible mix of
background experiences, cultural traditions and a wealth of different styles
of learning. The majority of students gets to and from school by walking
with their families or friends and the sense of community and family is
strongly felt in the school and the surrounding areas. Students at South
Street thrive in an environment that emphasizes inquiry based
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
>From South Street
1. What is the most difficult part of your job?
2. What type of microorganisms are dangerous in space? What micro-organisms
are important and needed in space?
3 What type of medical testing does and astronaut have to go through to be
physically and mentally fit for duty?
4. Did you always want to be an astronaut, or is it something you came to as
part of a different career?
5. Does it bother you that you cannot see your family in space?
6. What was it like to leave the Earth's atmosphere, how did it feel?
7. How long can a human stay in space?
8. How are you able to get internet in space and send information back and
forth to Earth?
>From WSMA
9. How do you handle Major Medical emergencies such as a broken arm or a
heart attack?
10. Do you have medical equipment besides a first aid kit?
11. Can you alter the procedure of an experiment?
12. Are you limited in the types of experiment? Such as doing an experiment
with open fire?
13 Do astronauts work only on experiments that suit his/her specialty?
14. Do all the astronauts sleep at the same time?
15. How do you overcome the language barrier aboard the ISS?
16. Do astronauts have specific chores aboard the ISS?
17. Is there different types of weather in space? How does the temperature
change during the time you are there?
18. Is time different in space? How do you figure out what time it is on
Earth?
19. What is the emergency procedure if debris were going to hit the space
station?
20. What time zone is the ISS on?

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,

All,
As witnessed by Mike, DK3WM, the TLE sets of some of the Cubesats from
this launch have been cross-tagged a couple of days ago. TuPOD is now
object 41936, 1998-067KY. Probably Tancredo 1 is now 41931, 1998-067KT,
and OSNSAT is 41939, 1998-067KZ. I informed Kelso and he has now
updated CelesTrak. Unfortunately Space-Track is still using the IDs that
they originally guessed.
TuPOD's batteries are empty so the satellite is not transmitting anymore.
Also Tancredo 1 does not seem to transmit anymore, at least not when
in eclipse. As far as I know, Waseda-Sat 3 never transmitted any signals.

access to the marvelous Palm Springs Air Museum exhibits, too! And did I
mention FREE PARKING???
One lucky attendee of my sat session will "win" a brand new Arrow Satellite
Antenna. Several others will leave with mousepads that have 8x10" copies of
extraordinary NASA photographs - just for participating in the Q&A and
answering trivia questions.
The HamFest's Web site is at ...
http://www.palmspringshamfest.com
Kids under 12 years of age admitted FREE! And kids who visit my exhibitor
table will receive a free NASA photograph.
Hope to see you in Palm Springs February 4, 2017!
