Amateur satellite ready to go in to action By Colin Holland, EE Times -- EDN, August 2, 2011 ARISSat-1, the satellite designed and built by amateur radio operators to specifically interest students in scientific and technological careers, is scheduled to be deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) this Wednesday, August 3. The extra-vehicular activity (EVA) is due to be broadcast on NASA TV, starting at 1430 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) when the hatch of the ISS will open. ARISSat-1 will then leave the space station and be secured to an airlock ladder and its solar panel covers will be removed. At 1507 it will to deploy site, activate its PWR, TIMER1 and TIMER2 switches, verify LEDs on, and deploy. If all goes well with tomorrow's deployment, it will perform the following primary functions: -Two-way communication via UHF uplink and VHF downlink, for use by ham radio operators -Visuals of space from four cameras -Recharging of the satellite's battery using solar panels, enabling operation for months -Transmission of audio greetings in many languages, for reception via simple radios or scanners -Telemetry transmissions with updates on the health of the satellite -House an experiment from Russia's Kursk University that measures atmospheric pressure ARISSat-1 design-team leader Steve Bible launched the limited-series Chips in Space Blog on EE Times' Web site last week, to both educate and entertain readers by relating the story of how he and his colleagues came to build the satellite, and the challenges they ran into along the way. Bible will also provide analysis of the satellite's deployment and functionality. Bible will provide an update on the mission later this week on the Chips in Space Blog. The satellite is a cooperative effort between AMSAT, ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station,) RSC-Energia (The Russian Space Agency), and NASA. The design, development, and construction of the satellite was done by AMSAT volunteers. Through the use of ham radio equipment, students and teachers should be able to access and utilize the satellite from a classroom environment with minimal set up. This story was originally posted by EE Times. ____________________________________________________________ 57 Year Old Mom Looks 27!

FW: [Calnet] Balloon Launch on Sunday July 31, 2011
by Andrew Seybold 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

If you are interested in following the balloon chase the Calnet repeater in Santa Barbara is W6AMS (yes me) and it is receive at 447.740 Transmit on 442.740 with a PL of 107.2. Andy W6AMS From: Marshall Oldham [mailto:ke6pcv@cal-net.org] Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2011 7:31 PM To: Calnet Members Mailing List Subject: [Calnet] Balloon Launch on Sunday July 31, 2011 Greetings, Here are the call signs of the two balloons that will be launched tomorrow, July 31, 2011 at around 0700 our time. Tentatively the first will launch around 0700 and the second balloon will launch 1/2 hour later. The balloons are going to be launched from the Palmdale area. They would normally launch from the Ojai area but the modeling software that the balloon aficionado used showed that if launched from Ojai they would come down somewhere near the islands off the coast of Santa Barbara. So that is the reason for the launch from Palmdale. The predicted path takes them North towards Mojave and then the balloons head west towards the Bakersfield area and possible places further west. The two callsigns to follow on the APRS network are W6WLW-11 (yes that is the callsign of one of our new members). He plans on using Calnet as a good communications artery for comm between the chasers looking for the balloons as they burst and then parachute to Planet Earth. The other callsign to watch for on the APRS networks and internet is KJ6KUV-11. The last launch that was held about two months ago was fun to watch on the internet. KJ6KUV was responsible for that launch also. So if you are interested tune in and see how the launch and chase unfold. Thanks and 73 Eddie Pierce

I will be in DC this week with the Public Safety folks trying to get this bill introduced-you can help!!!

I am Bill Carrow, President of APCO International, and once again on behalf of the Public Safety Alliance, I need your help today and tomorrow. The Republican leadership of the United States House of Representatives needs to hear from you now, as well as your family, friends, neighbors and colleagues. During the next couple of days public safety officials will be in Washington DC meeting the members of congress to get them to introduce a companion bill to S. 911: The Public Safety Spectrum and Wireless Innovation Act of 2011 and we need your help. S. 911 passed out of committee on an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote and now the House needs to pass a similar bill on a bipartisan basis. We need your help in calling key leaders in the house during this time to support those that are in Washington DC. I know we have asked a lot, but this very complex process needs your support. Our success would not have happened without your phone calls and other help, so please take a moment to make this important call. The House leaders need to do the right thing. This is no time to be a penny-wise and a pound-foolish with our nation's safety and security, especially in these tough economic times. We need Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (CA) to come out in support of S.911 and its companion to allocate D block spectrum to public safety with funding of $11.5 billion for the nationwide, interoperable and mission-critical public safety broadband network. Therefore, please call Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy today at 202.225.2915 and urge him to support S. 911 and its companion in the House now before the 10th anniversary. Thank you once again for your continued support and assistance on this time-sensitive and top priority matter.
