An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at SCaN/Glenn Research Center, Brook Park, OH on 23 June. The
event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:25 UTC. The duration of the
contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between NA1SS and NA8SA. The contact should be audible over the U.S.
state of Ohio and surrounding regions. Interested parties are invited to
listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in English.
Girl Scouts of North East Ohio and NASA Glenn Research Center
The Girl Scouts of North East Ohio (GNSEO) is hosting an ARISS contact event
in collaboration with NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), the NASA GRC Amateur
Radio Club, and Best Buy Geek Squad. The contact will take place at the Girl
Scout Camp Timberlane in Wakeman, OH. This 324-acre camp includes miles of
hiking trails, creeks, and ravines. It features a swimming pool, archery
range, observatory, low ropes course and a meandering lake that's ideal for
boating. The ARISS contact will be the highlight of the Girl Scout Space
Camp week. The program, which promotes STEM (science, technology,
engineering, and math) skills, will be the main attraction for this
activity-packed family event. Pre-contact speakers include representatives
from NASA, ARISS, and GSNEO.
Activities will be set up throughout camp and include a virtual reality tour
of the International Space Station, vacuum chamber activities, take-away
stations like energy bead bracelets, straw rockets, build a Tracking and
Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) model and an exclusive Girl Scout ARISS contact
patch. The Girl Scouts are the preeminent leadership development
organization for girls with programs from coast to coast and across the
globe. Girl Scouts offer every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of
leadership, adventure, and success.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What ISS experiments are you most excited to be working?
2. What does it feel like to be in a space suit in outer space?
3. The US will have a solar eclipse on August 21st. Will you be able to see
a shadow cast across the US as the eclipse takes place?
4. What do you do for fun on the ISS?
5. How does working together with astronauts from around the world help you
accomplish more?
6. Is it harder to get used to no gravity or to adjust back to gravity after
being in space?
7. We saw a video of astronauts playing a keyboard and guitar on the ISS.
Do musical instruments sound different aboard the ISS in zero-gravity?
8. What is the most difficult obstacle we need to overcome to be able to go
to mars?
9. We tell time by one rotation of the Earth. How do you tell time in Space?
10. Do you experience night and day in space like we do on earth or is it
always dark?
11. When did you realize you wanted to be an astronaut and why?
12. What has amazed you the most about being in space?
13. Why is it important for humans to go into space?
14. On the ISS, do you see different constellations than we do in North
America?
15. How do you avoid collisions in space?
16. What is one thing you have learned while on the International Space
Station?

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 informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Hello All
Something I've wondered about before, while adjusting the doppler in
satpc-32 should the rule of thumb apply, in that always adjust the higher
frequency? So if the downlink is the higher frequency adjust the down link
correction ? Or does one need to always adjust the uplink correction in
Satpc-32 ? I've always just adjusted the uplink correction and for the most
part it usually is pretty close but it seems I most always need to touch
things up a bit. Thanks in advance.

Okay, I followed the instructions (as I described below). I found
myself on a couple of the XW-2* birds, and kept adjusting my downlink
correction until I was at about peak elevation in the pass (I even made
one contact while one of the birds was still on its way up). Then
zeroed out the downlink correction and entered the opposite in uplink
correction, and saved it.
Once I did that I did not hear myself on the downlink, and failed to
find myself, even trying a few 10s of hz of d/l correction either side,
before the birds got too low on the horizon.
What am I doing wrong?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello,
I believe I need a little help for the entries into the Doppler.SQF file for
CAS-4A.
Just to take one line at a time to keep it simple.
Below is a line for the SSB frequencies for CAS-4A placed into the
Doppler.SQF file.
CAS-4A,145870.0,435220.0,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,XPDR 145.86-.88
I've also added this associated line of data into the AmsatNames.txt file
42761 2017034D CAS 4A
This is my problem; I'm not able to get the frequency information to
populate into the CAT Tuning dialog text box?
Any suggestions on what I'm doing incorrect, this is the first time I've
added a new satellite.
Thanks,
Stan, W5PDQ

In updating SatPC32 which name should I use ZHUHAI-1 01 (CAS-4A) or just
CAS-4A? I noticed in the Keps file the full long name is given. So the
question is what goes in the AmsatNames.text file.

The next AMSAT-NA TLEs for 6-22-2017 (tomorrow) will use CAS-4A (NORAD CAT
ID 42761) and CAS-4B (NORAD CAT ID 42759). I suggest using CAS-4A and
CAS-4B.
There is also some confusion with the naming used by SpaceTrack, from which
AMSAT's KEP data is obtained. Based on doppler corrected passes, Nico
Janssen, PA0DLO has confirmed that object CAS-4A is in fact NORAD CAT ID
42761 and CAS-4B is NORAD CAT ID 42759. SpaceTrack is not currently correct.

2 issues: in your doppler file, you have the sat name as CAS-4A, but in the
names file, you have it as CAS 4A (no hyphen). They have to match. You
also have too many characters in the object number in the names file. It
should be 17034D, not 2017034D.

Go into your Doppler.sqf file and edit the up- and downlink frequencies back
to the original values. Then use the uplink calibration buttons to find
yourself on the downlink. Then click the Change/Store data file button and
store the uplink calibration. I've never touched the downlink correction on
a sat with a linear transponder...
