[K3PZN-List] ARISSat-1 Deploy! Bring Your HT to Work!

Wed Aug 3 12:26:57 EDT 2011

Hi John,

The new satellite will have strong signals 
on 2m and 440, including standard FM as on 
your HT, pre-recorded messages, a public 
transponder/repeater, telemetry (both house-
keeping and experiment types in voice, CW 
and BPSK modes), and more good stuff.  

Lots of info for you at the following links:

Sorry that for the non-HTML mailreaders that 
my Pass columns got changed to rows.  No biggie; 
all data offered is still in order as given.  

And you can go to that satellite pass link at 
amsat.org to recompute ISS passes for yourself 
for anytime.  

More questions?  I'd be glad to chat!  

Enjoy!  

Cheers,

Pat

P.S. As I listen to the EVA events on NASA TV 
unfolding now, there is a delay in the deploy 
because of an external antenna issue on the 
ARISSat-1.  I hope they can resolve it and 
release it today during the same EVA.  More 
on this in the news as it continues to unfold.

Pat,
Sounds interesting but what frequency will it be 
on?  Will it be narrowband FM?

John, K3KWO
