I have noticed while running the EO-88 dashboard that if it first
decodes a AO-73 pass and then EO-88 comes up right after then the
dashboard ignores the signal for a long time, if I catch it doing it and
close and then reopen the program then it instantly locks up, does the
program keep looking for the sat it was decoding for awhile? anyone else
notice this behavior?
I have also seen the FUNcube-1 dashboard do the same thing, decode
one sat fine and then ignore the next one if it is right behind the
first one.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the report!
Although we have not had any other similar reports, I have also noticed
something similar happening and the matter was discussed last evening during
our FUNcube team Skype chat.
If you are able to keep a note of exactly how the two dashboards are set up,
which was started first, where the frequency limit "blinds" are, what the
centre frequency is - or anything else that will enable our development team
to identify the cause of the oddity then that would be very helpful!.
Many thanks
Graham

Long Beach, CA
Message-ID: <FFDE22031B1143B2A0E06FABDB4E527A@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at McBride High School, Long Beach, CA on 15 Mar. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 16:28 UTC. The duration of the contact
is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct
between NA1SS and K6MHS. The contact should be audible over the west coast
of the U.S. 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.
Ernest S. McBride High School (McBride) opened its doors on September 4,
2013 to an incoming class of 204 freshmen. During the course of the past
four school years, we have grown to 735 students, and we are preparing to
graduate our first class of seniors. All students are part of one of the
following pathways: Criminal Justice and Investigation (CJI), McBride
Engineering (ME), and Health and Medical (HM). Our campus is located in a
middle-class residential neighborhood and, through our School of Choice
process have students who live throughout the cities of Long Beach and
Lakewood. We are fortunate to have a student body that is both ethnically
and socio-economically diverse. Over thirty-eight percent of our student
population are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and over seventy percent
of the populations are from ethnic minorities.
In opening a new school, we have had many unique opportunities. The first
class of McBride student chose our mascot, the Wolf, and have decided that
we are collectively known as the Wolf Pack. Our daily announcements are
closed with the proclamation, "Goooo Wolfpack!" All three of our pathways
share a strong focus on math and science, learning by doing, and a
preparation for both college and career. As a sample of our project-based
learning approach, our students have built solar powered boats, resolved
disputes in Teen Court, earned awards for analyzing crime scenes, and
conducted studies on concussions in sports. We are fortunate to have access
to updated and professional level equipment, including CNC Milling Machines,
a Scanning Electron Microscope and Simulated Patient Manikins.
Long Beach is the 36th most populous city in the United States and the 7th
most populous in California. It is located on the Pacific Coast of the
United States, within the Greater Los Angeles area of Southern California.
As of 2010, its population was 462,257. Long Beach is the second largest
city in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and the third largest in Southern
California behind Los Angeles and San Diego. The Port of Long Beach is the
second busiest container port in the United States and is among the world's
largest shipping ports. Manufacturing sectors include those in aircraft,
automotive parts, electronic equipment, audiovisual equipment,
petrochemicals, precision metals and home furnishings. Long Beach lies in
the southeastern corner of Los Angeles County and borders Orange County.
Downtown Long Beach is approximately 22 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles.
Our school district, Long Beach Unified has earned a reputation as one of
America's finest school systems, winning many awards as a national and
international model of excellence.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What do you do during your free time in space?
2. Do you ever feel afraid up there in space, as you look down at the Earth,
and ponder how our whole world is just one grain of sand in the ocean, and
how our individual actions do so little to affect the course of the
universe?
3. What is the most used equipment when you are in space?
4. How many miles and how long does it take to break atmosphere? What did
that feel like?
5. Why did you give up your regular life on earth to be in space for a long
period of time? It seems like a big commitment. Why did you make it?
6. When I grow up I want to be an astronaut, so do you have any important
advice you could give to a future astronaut that helped you through your
journey in order to become an astronaut?
7. What could you say about climate change that others couldn't that would
change a climate change deniers view on the subject?
8. What happens if you run out of food?
9. What were the training requirements you went through to become an
astronaut?
Can you explain what you do when you are actually in space?
Can you explain what you do when you are NOT in space?
10. What is something you wish you would have known before becoming an
astronaut?
11. What do you think the benefits of having traveling exhibits like Facing
Mars are for young people?
12. What psychological issues have arisen in the astronauts who have spent an
extended time on the ISS? How are you prepared mentally to handle your
time in space?
13. What are you enjoying the most in the space station?
14. Have you had a birthday on the ISS? If so, did anyone sing happy
birthday to you on ham radio?
15. Have you seen ""Hidden Figures?"" Could the ISS be navigated if all the
calculations were done by hand?
16. We sometimes wonder if there is more than just us out there in the
universe, now that you're up there, has your opinion changed?
17. How different is time in space?
18. Could you imagine a musical being performed in orbit?
19. What do you think about the planned Space X trip around the moon?
20. What is the coolest trick you have done on the ISS with apparently zero
gravity?
21. Do you ever regret going to space?
22. How are you brave enough to risk your life to see earth from a cool view?
23. Did you know the people you currently work with on the space station
before you went into orbit? How do you get along?
24. Have you ever worked on the outside of the space station?
25. How old were you when you first seriously considered being an astronaut?
26. Is there any art you have seen on Earth that is more beautiful than the
Earth itself?

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,
David - AA4KN

Message to US Educators
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
Contact Opportunity
Call for Proposals
Proposal Window February 15 ? April 15, 2017
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew
member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held
between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits
will
determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact
opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large
numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education
plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2017. Proposal information
and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
The Opportunity
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur
Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and
classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the
opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and
work in
space and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also
will have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight and
the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations must
demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of the
radio contact.
Amateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space agencies in
Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational opportunity by
providing the equipment and operational support to enable direct
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world via
Amateur Radio.
In the US, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation) and ARRL (American Radio Relay League) in partnership with
NASA and
CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space).
More Information
Interested parties can find more information about the program at
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.
For proposal information and more details such as expectations, proposal
guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information Sessions go

Very nice. I was able to decode two frames of telemetry of EO-88 via
FO-29 yesterday. I probably would have gotten more but there were some
QSO's on the transponder exactly where EO-88 was uplinking.

ARISS Closer to Launching New Radio System
March 13, 2017: The ARISS team took a giant step closer to flying the new
ARISS Interoperable Radio System to the International Space Station, having
met a major milestone. Lou McFadin, W5DID, and Kerry Banke, N6IZW,
travelled to the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, in
mid-February for preliminary testing of Banke's breadboard version of the
ARISS Multi-voltage Power Supply. The two worked alongside JSC engineers and
JSC EMC lab personnel, putting the specially built power supply through its
paces, checking against US and Russian space specifications for Power
Quality and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) preliminary tests.
The result: Outstanding news-the ARISS Team can move on to the next step,
fabrication of prototype and flight units. The JSC engineers disclosed that
the ARISS breadboard power supply was the first hardware to have passed all
of the space agencies' tests! They said the very professional ARISS Team
certainly knew hardware development and design.
ARISS-International Chair Frank Bauer thanked Banke and McFadin for the
multiple days spent putting the unit through the serious battery of NASA and
Russian preliminary electrical tests. Banke expressed pleasure with the
results: "I was looking to come away with what we needed to move forward. We
achieved that." He was impressed with the support he and McFadin received
from the testing group, and said key players on those teams who are also ham
radio operators, commented that they find equipment brought in that is
supported by ham radio operators, to earn particularly good marks. McFadin
asserted that the Multi-voltage Power Supply's fine test results are due to
ARISS's team working very well together and being very experienced.
The completed testing of the breadboard unit means McFadin can now purchase
expensive space-certified parts so the final prototype/flight power supplies
can be fabricated. He and Banke now know that when the final, even more
rigorous tests are done, the units will pass with flying colors.
Watch for more news stories on the hardware and the fundraising campaign to
help support the costs associated with designing, building, and testing the
new ARISS radio system-the Kenwood D710GA and Multi-voltage Power Supply.
Those wishing to contribute toward the final fabrication and flight tests
are highly appreciated and asked to go to the AMSAT website, www.amsat.org,

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.
